Nice one, Raylan Givens. (sorry, when I read "federal Marshals", I just stick him in there. I could picture him offering the man the chance to come with him, or be rendered asunder by Boston townspeople, seeing as how, you know, he gets paid either way, and he's very curious about this whole lobster roll thing while on his way out of town...lobster on a sandwich...can you believe it?)/Elmore Leonard likes carrots.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sorry to poke my head and ignore ongoing conversations like this, but I can't skim over thousands of posts, and I really need to know (it's the first minute I had of being both awake and able to use a computer and having both hands free to type): are all "our" Boston-Buffistas OK? I watch the news and keep worrying (well, about all the victims, of course, but it's always so much harder when it's "close to home").
Thanks, you guys!

So remember that thing when CNN reported that the Supreme Court overturned Obamacare?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So remember that thing when CNN reported that the Supreme Court overturned Obamacare?
Yeah, CNN is now saying "conflicting reports"
I'll wait for the evening news, I think.

There is still a news conference scheduled for 5.

Why do they keep forgetting: 24-hour news cycle means you can take an bit more time, be sure you get it right the first time.

Because books.
Sometimes it seems like all the 24-hour news cycle means is that everyone wants everything RIGHT NOW.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
24-hour news cycle means you can take an bit more time, be sure you get it right the first time.
That might be what 24-hours news cycle means, but isn't it exactly what internet news cycle doesn't mean? It seems pretty rare to wait it out in preference to being first--the level of surety-to-publish has slunk lower and lower.
