I have CNN on, they are not clear what as happened. There has been an explosion.

They think a part of a floor may have collapsed. They don't know what it was, they don't know it was a bomb, or a boiler, or what.


Edited to say they think it was the mail room.

Another edit.

They (CNN) say no injuries. The building/area was empty.

Witnesses say a loud shaking/sound. They thought maybe an earthquake at first.

Interviewing the geeky law student, he said he grabbed his computer from the law library and ran.

Where's PETA when you need 'em

Someone like Paigow should organize a boycott against diners or something:

Rioting Greek fans set fire to dog

Associated Press
THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP)—
A black-and-white husky was smeared with tar and set on fire by rioting soccer fans after the Greek Cup final, police said Wednesday. The dog was attacked by fans of Aris Thessaloniki after the team was defeated 1-0 Saturday by crosstown rival PAOK.

After the game, Aris fans set fires in Toumba Stadium and later smashed cars and property. The dog was apparently picked on for its colors: PAOK play in black and white.

An animal welfare group found and treated the husky for burns and an injured eye, and informed the police Wednesday, authorities said.

Outrage -- Yawn

So, Nicole Kidman lit a cigarette while waiting for the press conference for Dogville at Cannes and there is now an international furor.

Check out the overheated press coverage:

Kidman's Cannes cigs raise a stink

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Nicole Kidman's televised cigarette puffing at the Cannes Film Festival has anti-smokers here fuming. Critics said the sight of the Oscar-winning Australian thespian lighting up in front of the world's media this week while promoting her new film, Dogville, was free advertising for the tobacco industry.

Sigh. Too many of these. They evacuated part of downtown Oakland yesterday when some jackass planted a faux-bomb outside a bank. A little too close for comfort.

I am not a big fan of Ms. Kidman (although her early Aussie BMX flicks rawk), I gotta give this one my "What the Fuck is with this shit" of the day award. I mean, if she had sharted (think a vurp from the other end) would they claim she was doling out free advertising for toilet paper? Perhaps they wouldn't have such big egos if we didn't focus on every fucking move that an actor made. Sheesh.

And to think, l these years I thought "First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers" was from Shakespeare's Henry VI.

Apparently, it was from the Koran.

No. I won't tell you what I did with the fat kid with asthma (and the math prodigy, not the exchange student, who decided to see how long he could go without speaking any words he didn't make up himself), but it wasn't esperanto. It also wasn't what you are thinking, but it wasn't esperanto.

BR(sigh. The fat kid's name was Jason, and he had red hair and thick glasses and was funny and grew up to be really hot after he moved away)C

The other shoes haven't dropped on this idea yet, and those shoes are worn by, among others, Buick, Mercedes, Sony, Bank of America, Chrysler, AT&T, Nissan, Accenture, Cooper Tires, Ford, BellSouth, MCI, Shell, Hewlett Packard, FBR Capital, FedEx, NEC Deutche Bank, John Deere, Bell Canadian, and Valero. The tour is already hurting from the loss of eight 2002 sponsors; it isn't going to do anything to offend the current ones. This idea goes nowhere.

Well, since there were no injuries, let the jokes begin.

I thought Harvard Law School was the one like Beirut.

And, of course the building was empty, that's why Yale Law students are so sucky in practice.

Example of an uneccessary parenthetical? You tell me.

I mean, aside from fireworks on the 4th, I don't think many people around here are amused by explosions of this type. I don't mean to pick, deucey. I'm just doing my part to rid the board of this parentheticals-in-my-sign-off syndrome.

That the equivalent of talking into the wind. It's been here longer than you and it is not going to change.
