19. Can someone explain what happened?
Was it one those news blurbs during the commercials on FOX that gave some wrong info? Or something on American Idol about it? :confused: Just wondering since Salem is only a few hours north.

14. They have stolen the hearts...
of my strapping teenage boys, and they have talked their dad into taking them both at his house!!!

I never thought he'd go for it. That man amazes me sometimes.

5. Nothing on the main news pages
Nothing on the main news pages or even the minor news pages, this story has die after only a few mintues , oh Im sure some faux news lovers will be thinking "I love my president for protecting me"

Fake terror alerts are part of thier plan, pretty soon they will start reporting if some highschool kid leaves thier bag in thier classroom by accident.

15. I live in Salem, too
I'm a recent transplant. Moved here to attend Willamette law.

What do you think of it? I like the climate very much. The town is much smaller than the one I came from but has great charm. And Portland isn't too far!

This is very weird, though. I'm sure it's nothing, but why here? There are certainly more visible state capitals. Maybe it's the civil unions legislation? Hmmm.

Peace.

16. Hopefully the media wont fall for it
So far the media is not jumping on the bandwagon, I can found no media reports thru searching google news, or other outlets, still faux and cnn might whore it up later.

Post man pulled a box out of a corner mailbox, powder spilled, washed him down, Hazmat is cleaning it up and testing it.
Suspicious handwritting, federal offence even if it's not dangerous
Threats written on it?

in other news....
Cops bust meth lab in car truck
Two toddlers wandering naked (mom now in custody)
(appears to be manditory lately that there is at least 2 meth stories each day)
