The hostage standoff is over. No one died. Nothing went ka-blam. The "deranged man" at Clinton's HQ was simply the town crazy infamous around those parts for his kooky mental instability. (Then, this situation must happen on a daily basis over at Hillary Clinton's SF headquarters.) According to CBS 5:

WBZ Radio's Lana Jones learned that the [wacky] man's stepson reported to police that his stepfather had been drinking for two days. The son said his stepfather had strapped two road flares to his chest and told his son Friday morning that he was going to the Clinton campaign office. He reportedly told his stepson "to watch the news."

Oh, that's sad. Sure, what he did is terrible but we have a soft spot for all you crazies out there. The poor thing.

Clinton has yet to make a formal post-hostage statement. Though when she does, it's sure to be milked dry. (She never ended up contacting the suspect, BTW.) But Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney jumped in on the action, saying that "[e]veryone is keeping those involved in the situation in New Hampshire in our thoughts and prayers right now as well, with hope towards a safe resolution." Which? Is a total lie.

Anyway, we're happy to see the standoff is over sans bloodshed or booms.
