It’s stupid meeting day today, and unless it gets cancelled in the next few minutes, it looks like it’s on. Typically, it starts out with the person who keeps insisting we have this meeting saying, “I don’t have anything.” Well, great. Remind me what the point of this nonsense is again?<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in Boston, the misinformation continues. On the way home last night, I was told that these were two pressure cooker bombs triggered by a Casio watch used as a timer (I have this intense desire to Google “pressure cooker bomb” but am afraid they’d slam me into a dog pen in Gitmo before the day was over). By the time this morning rolled around, they could only confirm that one of them was a pressure cooker, and the other was yet to be determined because, well, because it blew the fuck up and there isn’t much to go on. They also said the triggering mechanism(s) were now “kitchen timers.” Or something. I don’t think they really know.<\/p>\n
Or at least the nattering nincompoop on NPR don’t know. Hopefully the feds have some decent information, though I can’t help but remember what they put that poor schmuck Richard Jewell through down in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
They also seem to feel compelled to keep saying that pressure cookers are “like you use to cook rice in.” Really? You have to clear that up for people (thank goodness it wasn’t a crock pot)? I’ve always had a bit of an aversion to pressure cookers, because the one we had when I was a kid was the default “puking pan” for when anybody was sick (if two of us were sick at the same time, the Dutch Oven was pressed into service).<\/p>\n
Needless to say, we didn’t really prepare any meals (rice or otherwise) in the pressure cooker. I mean, just looking into the thing evoked a somewhat Pavlovian gag response.<\/p>\n
Speaking of gagging, I guess I’d better get ready for this stupid meeting, ‘cuz it doesn’t look like it’s been canceled.<\/p>\n
