#1 Not much on Google for his name. He -- or his father -- gave some money to the Oklahoma University College of Pharmacy, but that's all.

#5 BH - thanks.

From his web page:

Experience

Shoe Salesman
Transporter at St. Anthony Hospital
Beach Lifeguard

Education

Highshool diploma at Putnam City North Highschool
Freshman year of college studying business

Interests

Playing soccer
Fishing
Flying airplanes


All this, and he's 24.

Translation: BUM

Question: Where's a shoe salesman/hospital bed-pusher/beach bum get the money for explosives and a plane ticket? Did he use Priceline?

#7 Flying airplanes is an expensive hobby. Not just a bum, but one who is still being supported by Mommy and Daddy. And, since the OU page is still valid, one who realized a bit late that going to college is a good idea. Did he go because he decided to grow up, as a way to meet girls, or because that was the only way Daddy would keep paying his bills?

#8 Big-ass house, too, according to Google's satellite map. Rich bums are easy pickings for spiritualism pimps. New convert?

#9 Well, convert would make sense (they often have something to prove) but equally possible is the mere idiot theory.

#10 BH - Have you no shame, looking at his house? ;->

Best not be telling the ACLoozers that you can look up someone's satellite view - I just did it last night, myself!

#13 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An explosive device was found in a passenger's carryon bag as the man passed through a checkpoint, and federal agents arrested him, the FBI said Thursday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Troester described the device as a carbon-dioxide cartridge with a black-powder detonator.

Just a big firecracker. Enjoy your time in the slammer, Chuck.

#14 You won't find too much alive and worth eating on a regular basis in the waterways in Philly. If you caught it and killed it the EPA still doesn't advise you eat too much of it. CNN has a nice pic of the badboy. Contrast it with the one BH dug up on badboy's website. In the words of a former client "his mind be swimmin ... it's all in the eyes you see."

#15 You fishheads don't understand. He was obviously afraid of flying and fearing hijacking. To mitigate his concerns he built his own bomb never intending to use it..... Because what are the odds of two unconnected bombers on a flight? It was a form of insurance.

Legume! Fetch My Saxophone.

If you are referring to McVeigh and Company, they were not from Oklahoma.

I'm watching your house right now, Bobby, and it's you who should be ashamed of yourself! ;)
