Boston, you’re my home
That’s Justin Kuo on the right, helping a runner moments after the blasts. The years I’ve run the Boston Marathon, I ran with Justin’s team.
Explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon
I was a spectator at the starting line of the Boston Marathon this morning. Within the last hour there have been at least two explosions at the finish line, one of which blew up the Marathon Sports store. At least six injuries are being reported by WBZ, and now there are reports of deaths.

Guns and nuts
I needed to take a break from blogging, but there are some interesting things going on in the background via e-mail that will probably appear here.
Before disappearing again so I can start working on the taxes, I’d like to say that after listening to this week’s self-servicing blathering by Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association, he has a point about mental health and guns.

Elmer Fudd says, “I’m the NRA”
Twenty five years ago, when the NRA had a public relations campaign featuring some famous people saying “I’m the NRA,” I drew this cartoon for the Comics Buyer’s Guide, with a famous gun enthusiast that the NRA had neglected to include. Elmer J. Fudd.
From what is known so far, Adam Lanza had access to the guns he used in slaughtering a classroom full of children because his mother apparently thought the way that Wayne LaPierre wants everybody to think. The NRA’s position is “you can’t beat us, so join us,” and I resolutely, absolutely refuse to accept that.
