Once is an isolated incident.
The second makes you raise your eyebrows.
The third, fourth and fifth?
First was the Boston Bombing.
Then the first letter to the Senate with suspected ricin in it.
Now we have more letters, including one to President Obama, containing "suspicious substances" and Fox is reporting that a suspicious package at the Hart Office Building along with another suspicious envelope with Capitol Police ordering everyone off the first floor.
The remaining question is whether people are too skittish following Boston (and these "alerts" will prove to be BS) or whether something coordinated, however poorly, is going on.
Flash reports that a bomb has gone off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Are you done telling me that "gun control" will stop homicidal and terroristic jackasses yet? Obviously "bomb control" didn't prevent this incident -- right?
Heh heh heh...
Right now: Savers have had a 10% haircut based on holding these rates at zero.
No, really?
This is now getting into the mainstream consciousness!
And Andrew Ross Sorkin agreed.
Heh heh.......

Oh oh...
Reports of smoke on an ANA 787, apparently related to the battery system (as was a problem in the other plane that caught fire recently.)
If you're long Boeing stock you're likely to have a bad day tomorrow.
ANA has grounded all 17 of its 787s according to published reports.
More as I learn it.
