Boston Does It Again

I'm hearing rumors that the Boston bomb squad has detonated more "suspicious devices" found chained to street signs all around the city.

In an unrelated note, the Boston Department of Transportation is wondering where its traffic counters went.

I'll post more if I get confirmation.

the bomb squade blew up the traffic counters?

reminds me of something hte dutch police did a few weeks ago... some mob thug called the cops, because he noticed a suspicious package attached to his car

bomb squad investigates, detonates the package or something

turned out, the package was a tracking device, placed there by the police itself

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I loved living/growing up there, but the incompetence in government is amazing. Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. . .

It's okay, I'm sure the taxpayers will cheerfully pick up the bill for new counters, the police overtime and the explosives used.

so this basically prooves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are overactive... pretty much absolves those neohippies beeing sued over the moonlite LED thingies...


if they sue the LED boys, they have to sue the traffic counter boys...

Where's the link!?!?!?! If that is true, that has got to be the funniest thing I have ever heard. I lived in Boston for a year (Brookline actually). Gawd I hated it.

So who do they sue for millions now? themselves? or is this chalked up to an oops like the first one but they do not disclose the millions spent panicking?
