Republican's are jackasses and our corporate media is pathetic.

Not sure how any of that has anything to do with Boston, it just is a simple statement of fact in America in 2013.

Frankly, this is an unnecessary effort to negatively frame the positive outcome from Boston.

The people of Boston carried the situation incredibly well, law enforcement engaged in the largest man hunt in modern history here in America with aplomb.

There is a positive moment, a point where there is some actual "maturity" from this country overall in relation to this kind of event.

I don't get the need to negatively frame 99% of the country because republicans are jackasses and our media sucks.
