http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/man-arrested-in-bid-to-kill-government-workers-with-bomb-officials-say/?hp

The authorities have arrested a man who law enforcement officials believe was planning to build and detonate a bomb in New York with government workers, returning military personnel and elected officials as the target, a person briefed on the case said on Sunday.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly of the New York Police Department, and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. were expected to announce the charges against the man at 7:30 p.m. at a news conference at City Hall.

But then they're the 1%. The untouchables.

11. More bullshit fake "terra" alerts.
This tactic is already really old and I'm starting to think that the government have no more scare tactics left up their sleeves.

One can only cry wolf so many times, even for the brainless fox viewers there is a limit.

Uh-Oh.

15. So you're saying the Mayor is charging an actual person to cover up the OWS situation?
Sorry, too much of a stretch for me.

16. I can report that there has been a lot of testing this month of the emergency

communication system.

There is to be (or was?) one nationwide test and Boston has been getting a test weekly, with the notation that a member within the system has requested it.

The tests and announcements occur in the wee hours of the morning.

They've been wreaking havoc with my usually futile attempts to use TV to lull myself back to sleep.

17. Try using white noise to lull yourself to sleep.
A rock star friend of mine used to tune a tv between channels to sleep after shows. He had really bad tinnitus and the ringing kept him awake.
