UPDATE: The good ship Lolly-POTUS...
6:14 pm - In a briefing just now, President Obama referred to the “senseless loss” in Boston due to “explosions”, but did not characterize them as terrorist.Yup... maybe they were poorly maintained hotdog carts... wait a minute...
"Police investigators had contacted the local gas and electric company and determined that the explosions were not related to gas or electrical service."Dear Mr President... if it's a bomb(s)... it doesn't matter who set it off... it's terrorism.
"The authorities also found a device at St. James and Trinity Streets that did not explode, the person said, and two other devices were found, including one in Newton, outside of Boston."

CORRECTION: Only two bombs have been found
Apparently, they were pressure cookers filled with nails & ball bearings, gruesome anti-personnel explosives used frequently in the Middle East.

UPDATE2: Dead & maimed children
"One of the two victims of today’s horrific Marathon double-bombing is an 8-year-old, the Herald has learned."To make this incident even more horrific, this boy's mother is brain damaged and his 6 year-old sister has been maimed.
