Wasn't there a story a few months ago about ricin being in the main U.S. Senate building, and then later on it turned out to be not the case after all? I sure hope this turns out the same way.
The crawl on the website lists ricin, ricine, and rinolic acid. Do they need a spell checker?
How about all of the Democrats in Boston this week that support Planned Parenthood and believe Michael Moore?
Just for starters...
Supposedly, there was a note in the jar.
People should make their own baby food. They'll know what they're eating.
That's wild. Part of why I don't feed my 1 year old baby food. Too much can happen to it in the packaging, etc. I decided that I'll just cook some green beans we got from the local farmer (or black eyed peas, green peas, etc.) and smash'em up good for her.
Could we PLEASE start killing ALL of these cowardly terrorist SOBs?!
I'm sure it's nothing... Hey! Look over THERE!
Yes, nothing to worry about, nothing to see here. Go back to sleep now, we'll wake you when it's time to go vote.
Good strategy, Ro.
"On June 16th, a man called police in Irvine to report he found a note inside a jar of baby food warning that the container had been contaminated."
Seems to be a person who wants to make a point about the vulnerability of our food supply!
BTW ... The positive results for poison can be from a plain raw castor bean a LEGAL plant in the USA.
YEs, and diapers are killing the environment.
Obviously...
PS. You forgot to close your < sarc> tag...
Somehow I can't see AQ leaving a note.
Don't get me wrong, if this is real then it's deadly serious and needs to be investigated by the authorities fully.
I believe I've always seen it with the "e." Merriam-Webster does not have the "e." Calls it a poisonous protein of the castor bean.
BS meter way high on this.
No problem. So...you know where the perp is?
Pings to you both.

Baby Food in Calif. Contained Poison
ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVINE, Calif. (AP) - Trace amounts of the deadly poison ricin have been found in at least one jar of baby food that had been tampered with, the FBI said Wednesday.
The FBI and prosecutors are investigating two suspected cases of food tampering. No injuries or arrests have been reported, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
Authorities have not disclosed the amount of ricin discovered, the number of baby food jars that contained the poison or a possible motive.
On June 16, a man told Irvine police that as he was about to feed his son, he found a note inside a jar of baby food warning that it had been contaminated. A similar case was reported by an Irvine couple on May 31 involving the same baby food, Gerber Banana Yogurt, police said. A note was also found inside that jar.
Investigators were testing Gerber Banana Yogurt removed from the store where both jars were purchased. They did not specify whether the ricin was found in both jars.
Authorities did not disclose the contents of the notes but said they referred to an Irvine police officer.
Ricin is made from castor beans and can be fatal if swallowed, inhaled or injected. A dose about the size of the head of a pin could be enough to kill an adult, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
