If we're going for a streak of shit-going-badly-in-America, Illinois is/was drowning, too.

New York Post jumped the gun, running pictures of two "suspects" who had nothing to do with the bombing.

A lot of their reporting this week has been subpar.

Colbert took notice.

New York Post is one of those papers that favors sensationalist reporting, so this is hardly surprising.

I am reminded of that running gag they had in The Critic where the NY Post places the words "Nude", "Headless", "Sewage" and "Governor" into every headline, no matter what the actual news are.

The second bombing suspect has been captured alive.

"Mark, what the hell are you doing? Did you even check to see if it's locked?"

"Shut up man, I've always wanted to try this."

Apparently 3 people were shot at the Denver hippie festival.

Practicing our patriotism, of course! /sarcasm

But in all honesty, this is pretty daisies shitty. I don't really have much to say, except my condolences to anyone affected by this.

China just got hit with a 7.0 earthquake. Killed over a hundred people.

It won't load for me, but didn't that area of China have like a 6.5 or something earlier this week?

The Mayans were off by a few months.

Keep in mind that China's architectural standards aren't so great and that the Boston event may be what's spurring the "rash" of those incidents.

AWKWARD ZOMBIE
