Final Word: It’s going to be a long summer for California fire crews

You want to believe that the widow of the elder Boston bombing suspect didn’t have anything to do with the bombs, right?

Katherine Russell said she didn’t know her husband was building bombs in their apartment, but the younger brother, now talking to investigators, said that’s where they were building them.

Final Word: Pay attention to the upcoming election, Arizona

Well, Arizona, you got what you wanted. I don’t know if Arizona will ever actually BE a purple state, but there are now more registered Independents than Republicans or Democrats. Whether or not they vote is the question. Also, for whom does an Independent likely vote? The latest Rasmussen poll in Arizona found gubernatorial candidates […]
