Still not "terrorized" by the Boston Marathon bombings (and stuff afterwards).

5. I doubt the media is not interested in getting those facts

--ie. how many died & were injured and more on how and why it happened. I am sure they are working on getting the details. And I'm sure that we at DU are interested in the follow-up on that.

DUers HAVE pointed out the hypocrisy-- in Sen. Cruz voting against the Sandy relief bill --but now calling for such help for Texas.

Excerpt:

"No Republican ever manages to tell us where that money is supposed to come from if we don’t collect revenue, instead they claim offsets should be found before the relief is doled out — unless, of course, it’s their state under seige.

Cut to April of 2013. Texas needs federal aid because they don’t do such a great job of regulating and overseeing businesses or zoning, apparently. So when a fertilizer plant that had once been allowed to operat without a pollution permit for several years blew up and impacted a nearby school and nursing home, the devastating damage was more than Texas could cope with alone.

Sen. Cruz will visit West on Friday. He finally issued a statement from the Capitol, “We are in very close touch with officials on the ground and we’re monitoring the tragic accident closely. It’s truly horrific and we are working to ensure that all available resources are marshaled to deal with the horrific loss of life and suffering that we’ve seen.”
