Belsan attacker gets life

Turns out that "gun shot" heard in the Rayburn building was just two construction workers, who were using a machine or something that made the sound.  Laaaaaaaaaaaaame.

It was heard at about 10:30am and they still haven’t given the all clear.  Oh well, this stuff happens from time to time.

Nothing much to say.  His confirmation really wasn’t a shocker.  I will be surprised though if he can stay independent of the Pentagon and still wear the uniform.
