Boehner and Biden are wearing thier Easter ties.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

So, I am in the Air Canada executive class lounge. The lady I shared a cab with last night, offered to pick me up today. Then we got to the airport and she had a guest pass for the lounge. What's nice is how quiet it is in here. And the free food and drink.
Like Diane Cort and Lloyd Dobler, I am not breathing out until the seat belt sign is off.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Also on the radio on my way home they were like "someone who might be him emerged from the burning cabin, but was pushed back in!" Which....what?!? Someone who may or may not be your suspect was PUSHED INTO A BURNING BUILDING?? Not something to do, much less advertise!! (A few minutes later they claimed that wasn't true, but STILL). PR people are not dealing well with this shit.
I dunno, when I was listening to the press conference, the whole thing felt like: Reporter asks absurdly sensationalist question. Speaker says something like "I have not heard that" or "I have no information on that" or my favorite "It's an unfolding situation. They aren't updating me." Reporter repeats sensational claim. And on and on until: Reporter: "So we don't know for sure, but there IS a possibility that t insert sensational claim "

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Good luck, Sue.
Geez, I hadn't heard the whole story on the Dorner thing. Yikes!
On a shallow note... are Biden and Boehner really wearing lavender and pink ties? It is a refreshing change from the red power ties.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
SotU watch and post, anyone?
I'm on a bit of a delay (I think only a minute or three) because I had to pause the LA coverage from upset and Googling a few times but yes.

They keep cutting to Paul Ryan for reaction shots - I'm watching this on Fox because it's the only network my tv gets. well, I get the CW but they are showing a movie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hm, looks lilac and salmon to me...
Watching Boehner's face as Obama talks is amusing.

Al Franken is a real jack-in-the-box tonight. Diane Feinstien (sp?) has rolled her eyes and stayed seated a couple of times.

That's what I got from the press conference too. I am shocked she stayed there as long as she did. It was just random sensationalist questions at the end.
They have said that they knew a suspect was in the cabin, they took out every window, launched the smokey canisters (I want to say tear gas or smoke bombs but I'm not sure, so something smokey) and then methodically took out the walls one by one. Then single shot, big fire and it burning a long time with no going in because it wasn't safe with an armed suspect. Then Fire Dept was given the situation.
Which, I don't see how that situation was ever meant to lead to an arrest. From the first I saw of this about four hours ago, it was clearly going to end with death. The sheriff who died was just taken from Loma Linda in the coroners van with many law enforcement following with silent lights.
Okay, SotU. That's less depressing right now.
