What are the odds of the capital keystoners blaming this on the Teaparty? Or some previously unknown militia group?

False alarm, it turned out to be a small amount of intellect. Nobody there had ever seen that substance before.

“suspicious substance”

If it was a spine, and was found in Republican offices, I see the point.

Hilarious! The best comedy seems to have a kernel of truth at it’s core. Your comment is a textbook example. Good one!

I’d heard that it was the Truth. Hadn’t seen very much of THAT, either.
