What a bummer.

Bought all that white powder, and it turned out to be garlic.

Somebody in the Kerry Kamp really got the shaft.

Maybe it fell out of somebody's nose inadvertently.

After all, isn't Marion Barry still the mayor?

It's good that they explained what garlic powder is for.

Well, the person that planted the garlic can still try wolfbane or a cross.

"It appears to be some kind of garlic powder"

Someone's on the right track, now they just need a crucifix and a stake.

I thought FoxNews reported earlier that it turned out to be garlic powder.

Don't even joke about that, they're still trying to find the terrorist who killed five people using mailed anthrax.

And we know it was a "terrorist" how? Could be just a plain old nutcase too right? Anyway, point taken. I guess I just take it for granted that no one would think I was remotely serious.

Why do I take comfort from the thought that the gloves are coming off instead of on?

Probably a self-inflicted "sympathy" ploy.
