The story got over-shadowed by the guy in the panda onesie outside a Bawlmer TV studio with a suicide vest with candy bars instead of dynamite upset about Bernie losing Maryland or something.  He also got winged by the cops for the trouble because at a distance, that could be Semtex.  What a world we live in.  They oughta sell tickets.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
