 That's because you don't have any pissed off, right wing, religious cults. Oh, wait... What did you do with the real Boogerhead? |

Don't forget the Anthrax in the mail. Woohoo. Some people are just really, really fucked up. The knife vs. gun vs. poison gas vs. disease agent vs. explosives question is secondary. Important, but secondary. Laws don't actually prevent anything. They make things a bit better, or a bit worse.

Aum Shirikyo (sp?) used Sarin (sorry, not VX, mixed up my spooky gases). As far as ricin goes, I think it's just the one in the Senate mailroom so far. It's been discovered in several other places, including the Vegas hotel room, but that wasn't an attack, I don't think.

The American school massacre record is still held by Andrew Kehoe, who in May 1927 planted dynamite under the elementary school in Bath, Michigan. The morning of the blast, he killed his wife and loaded his truck with more dynamite, scrap iron and nails. The school charge went off, killing 38 students and teachers. Then Kehoe drove his truck into the crowd that had gathered and blew it up. The final death toll was 44, and would have been much larger, but the second charge Kehoe planted under the school failed to detonate. There was no media circus over the event, not because the press in '27 was more restrained, but because it was already engaged in another media circus, the Lindbergh flight. Apparently, Kehoe was pissed off about a tax to build a new school. Kehoe was on the school board.
That last sentence is the kicker. quote: Kehoe was on the school board.

Henry Rollins (subbing for Steve Jones on indie 103.1) just told us that Tim Russert died today.
