That's crazy! And how dumb was he to think Obama or any president just reads letters like that without them being inspected??? That shows how dumb and crazy he is and they will catch him if they haven't already because they can get fingerprints and DNA from letters. People are nuts.

According to NPR, the guy arrested is an Elvis/Johnny Cash/Bon Jovi impersonator: Ricin Suspect Described As Conspiracist, Elvis Impersonator : The Two-Way : NPR

Maybe the news has just been so bad this week, but I can't help but laugh.

I don't know why, but, this made me sad. .

Who knows, maybe he wanted and is now getting the amount of recognition he was hoping for, just not for his musical talents.

Only one flaw in this dude's plan: most people don't eat the letters they are sent. Why didn't he send boxes of See's chocolates?

Personally, I from now on will refrain from opening my mouth till I have more facts, turns out, they're saying they may have had the wrong guy. Someone sent it, but whom exactly the culprit is appears to still be a mystery.
