It is fascinating to watch the right wing blogosphere spring into action with all the "false flag" conspiracy theories. Apparently, they have trouble believing that a right wing partisan fanatic would be so dumb as to do something like this just before the midterm elections, so it must have been a conspiracy designed to help elect Democrats. A Republican would have waited until after the November election.
And, of course, if these bombs had been sent to Republicans... Well, obviously, a left wing partisan fanatic would do something that stupid.
Both are a possibility. Timing lends credence to a false flag attack. Or possibly false false flag, but we could play that game ad infinitum. They certainly weren't well thought out attacks, if serious. For example, sending a mail bomb to people who do not open their own mail is pointless. As are timers on mail bombs. With mail bombs you want them to go boom when they are opened, not after a certain time.
So either this was the worst conceived bombing attack in a while, or the bombs did not go off because it was a false flag operation and they were not meant to go off.
Hopefully they catch the person(s) responsible soon, regardless of who they are.
The ones that His Flatulence goads into violence are pretty stupid.
