Texas fertilizer plant explosion

Is this getting much news over there, or is the news still all about the boston bombings? 12 ppl dead, 200 injured, 60 still missing, the entire center of the town flattened, worst industrial disaster in the US in three years.

Yeah it got coverage. Not much. Boston bombings still dominate.

Worse news is that CISPA passed a house vote early in the week. A bill that severly damages tye 4th Amendment got no play at all.

I guess outside of the first two Amendments.......nobody cares. Sad really.

Was just passed in the house, highly doubt reid will even put it up for a vote

Dunno Pun, seems DC is hell bent on killing our rights.

While not DC, did you see the footage of the door to door search in Boston? They forced their way into people's homes at gun point. They shrugged it off as "circumstances" but we all know that the door to illegal search and seizure is wide open theses days.

I don't see how CISPA could be politically palatable to either party. Isn't this the exact thing that the Tea Party folks are supposed to be vehemently opposed to? I've seen a bit of outcry from the left. Who the heck wants this thing?
