    this, nothing wrong with online speculating as long as it's treated with extreme skepticism and not acted upon

    Our own Jeff tweeted a link to this, knocking down the NY Post story:

    http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/boston-police-no-arrests-have-been-made-in

    A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

    "At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.

    The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

    "Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

    The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."

    What struck me the most was during one the videos immediately after the bombs went off you could hear people chattering "people might be hurt back there" and running towards the explosions.

    Powerful stuff.

    I feel faint giving blood after sitting on my ass eating cookies. I can't imagine how bad I'd feel if I ran 26 miles and then gave blood.

    That's the same picture, man. It's just zoomed in... without the red stuff. :confused: I thought you said you had something different.

    I am disappoint. :(
