The time of day echoed that of a pattern of unsolved early morning blasts that have occurred outside the British Consulate, the Mexican Consulate and the Armed Forces recruiting booth in Times Square over the past two years.

"The similarity is the time. The Mexican consulate, the British consulate, the Times Square bombing event at the recruiting station, we have this event. They all happened between 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. that's the immediate similarity we are looking at," said Commissioner Ray Kelly. …

In the earlier cases witnesses and surveillance camera footage showed a suspect escaping on a bicycle.

In today's incident, no such information was immediately available but police were canvassing the neighborhood and collecting and reviewing security camera tapes.

"We will be checking cameras in the area. Right now there are no reports of anyone on a bicycle," Kelly said." We will do a canvas, we will come back and canvas later, back tomorrow morning, see people who may have been in the area. right now we have no witnesses to the immediate event."

It's time to find this guy. Of course, he's leaving so little evidence that finding him is difficult.

Has Bill Ayers been accounted for?

Laugh if you wish, but the PR firm my son works for has the Starbucks account, and it's one of his accounts. He caught the squeal at 4 a.m. as a result of being the employee so junior he couldn't afford to be out of town for the weekend.

So, the spin will be that the coffee beans are even more freshly roasted today?

I keed, I keed.

I'm still wondering, though, why the NYPD is working on arts and crafts when it really should be investigating this bombing.

Well, it was a TV station. They're not used to spelling correctly as long as they pronounce things right.
