Scuttlebutt update

Some of what we were hearing about Colorado seemed too improbable. We have now accepted that anything is possible when it comes to Colorado.

We may have contributed to certain misconceptions that the FBI is still trying to take advantage of. Let's be clear that we know that FBI needs space to make its jokes. We're not impressed with those jokes anymore. Maybe even FBI begins to suspect that things are little more knotty than that.

While we are on the subject, we did not take "DIE X!" as a joke in 2005. We cannot help wondering if a certain one or two maximum donors to the Bush campaign in 2004 thought they got their money's worth with that. We actually intend to canvass opinion with that question, not just make a sarcastic point. We honestly do not know the answer. We could be far off.

When one gives the max, perhaps one volunteers for such honors to assist the cause. When we refer to uncertainty, that is what is journalistically uncertain here, not that it matters structurally. We all know what the goal is in the Ward Churchill campaign and some of the journalistic details that are cloudy are nonetheless not the main points.

We also can't help wondering where FBI was in all that, since it is normally so obsessed with MIM on this topic. Then again, we know that FBI only has power to investigate the irrelevant. Anything emanating from offices with uncanny abilities or disabilities is off-limits to the FBI.

It's been rightly pointed out that we are beyond the point where an assassination of a MIM leader would matter. The party heirlooms are spread around too much for that to matter. MIM is gladdened to see wider circles start to chew on the same problems.
