More poison laced letters intercepted. At least one addressed to President Obama. Update!

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Less than a day after police intercepted a letter laced with the poison ricin that was sent to Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), reports of two more poison-tainted letters have emerged, including one to President Barack Obama.

Here we go again folks. It is like 2001 all over again.

Update: Reports are that the Obama letter is from the same sender as the Wicker letter.

A man I understand they already have in custody.

    And the far right will point the finger at some poor crazy man when they do. With them a terrorist who is non-white represents and entire race. When they are white they are a lone wolf who needs mental health intervention. I'm wondering if the far right is finally starting to move out toward their final solution to take power.

    Apparently this suspect isn't very smart. One official made the comment that the sender was a person known to send lots of letters to members of Congress. All I can think is, "Dear god, he didn't put his return address on it did he?" Maybe its just postmarked from a small town. Either way apparently this one took no investigation to figure out who to talk to.

    But is it really, truly ricin or was it heretofore just a screening test and thus a preliminary result? Because that would be important, obviously.

    I'm guessing the perpetrator is a Palin fan.

    Without trying to denigrate the importance of the issue, I just KNEW there was a reason I didn't like castor oil when I was growing up!

    IF you rationalize killing...
    whether it be by bombing
    or by firearms
    or poison
    or torture...

    especially if you think you're doing it for God -
    then please:
    seek help
    because you are sick in the head.

    Ricker's letter was post marked in Memphis, Tennessee...earlier news headlines stated a prolific letter writing POS in S. Cal was being investigated as well.

    Ricin - just read - is most deadly when inhaled....the fact that the letter mailer put MANY at risk had the substance gone airborne during the processing at PO's . . is despicable.

    1. Minister of Parliament Maurice Williamson addressed the chamber, saying that a clergyman in his district warned that “the gay onslaught will begin the day after the bill is passed.”

      “Sir, we are really struggling to know what the gay onslaught will look like,” Williamson said. “We don’t know if it will come down the Pakuranga Highway as a series of troops or whether it’ll be a gas that flows in over the electorate and blocks us all in.”

      He also addressed the concerns of a Catholic priest who expressed concern that Williamson is condoning “an unnatural act.”

      “I found that quite interesting coming from someone who’s taken an oath of celibacy for his whole life,”

    I predict:
    He is an anti-government RWNJ
    He is a he.
    He is an NRA member.
    He owns many guns.
    He is a loner.
    He lives with his mother.
    Neighbors say he "keeps to himself"

    I could be wrong but...

    "A man I understand they already have in custody."

    Is this that "folksy word salad" writing style like Sarah Palin communicates in?
