CNN is ****ing terrible at 'news' reporting

They should have disclaimers on everything they report along the lines of 'May not be true whatsoever'

CNN has changed their story 3 times already.  It's pathetic they call themselves a news organization when they are no better than a rumor mill.

I heard this on our local radio show, Rover's Morning Glory here in Cleveland. I cannot believe that idiot took his son that close to a fire to begin with. Most others are evacuating, or trying to, yet this idiot takes his (what I assume to be) very young son to the fire like a bug moving towards a zapper. I would definitely like to be within reach of the dad so that I can hit him so hard he wouldn't be able to hear either.

On a real note, there's far too much devastation going on this week. Something has to give...

The FBI just released video/photos of the suspected perps from Monday's tradgedy in Boston.

According to the FBI... Suspect #1 is the guy in the black hat.  And Suspect #2 is the guy in the white hat - wearing it backwards.  According the the FBI, suspect #2 (white hat) is seen leaving a the backpack he is carrying at the 2nd bomb location.

Here is my question... Are these guys golfers?  Look at the black hat... To me it looks like a Bridgestone B330 hat, similar to this style:

I hope the FBI snags these dudes soon.

My heart goes out to my American Sandtrap buddies. I was working on a project in NYC when 9/11 went down, totally surreal experience, and I can't believe it's happened again. My hopes and prayers are with you. I hope these ****ers shank for the rest of their (hopefully really short) lives. Peace out. Edit* my comment got auto-modded but I'm pretty sure you can read between the asterisks.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Yea. That looks to be him when I zoom in about 2000%. Sans backpack too.

Check this out... Makes me sick.  This was posted on Reddit.  But that is the suspect - and you can see the 8yr old on the fence.  The pack was placed on the ground...

Jetfan, if you use your fancy zooming capabilities again, I think you'll see the other guy in there too.  Just to the right of the woman in the bright pink and the girl? in the purple, and immediately behind the next woman in black.  I saw a bigger version of this same picture and you could see him better.

CNN is all over the place right now, and I have absolutely no clue if all of this stuff going on in Watertown and MIT are related to the marathon bombing??  I assuming there is some sort of connection, but the whole thing is just chaos.  I'm just hesitant, since based on yesterday ... CNN is obviously super excited about being the first to report something, and so much so that they reported things that didn't even happen.

It is very tense here in the Boston area. They have essentially locked down Boston, Cambridge, Newton, Watertown and Waltham.  They have asked us to stay put (I am about 10 miles north).  My company is sending out updates.  Reports are that no one has ever seen a manhunt with this many Police.

Nononononono. I want him to be captured alive - then spend the rest of his life getting bummed in prison.

      Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
