Bomb squad called after suspicious device found in Seattle Times newspaper box

Authorities need to take these things seriously -- Seattle is home to a lot of crazy anarchists after all -- but I'd bet it wasn't a real explosive device.

A police bomb squad unit was called to a Seattle Times newspaper box Sunday morning after a Times delivery driver found a suspicious object in the box, the paper reported.

The device was found in a box on Main Street in Bothell, Wash., at about 3:30 a.m. and prompted the closing of a section of the street as police investigated and later "disrupted" the device, police said.

The Times reported that it was unclear if the object was a real bomb or not. The FBI, however, was called in and is investigating.

It sounds like it was an early Christmas copy of the Wall Street Journal that had a bow on it.

McClatchy people, forgetting and failing to recognize what a real newspaper looks like, deemed the package suspicious and called the authorities

Anarchists are a nuisance. Our real desperadoes are the invaders too crazy for California setting up Gay bars, Animal Sex Farms, Pedophile rings and Live Sex shows while right next door you might have a Euthanasia Tourism Agency and Check out Hotel. Don't forget we also have our world famous Eco-Terrorists who'll gladly burn your home down around you for a glass bottle mixed with your recyclable plastic.

There is just no cesspool like a west coast cesspool.

Devise or device? Did you lay off your copy editor?
