Slog is really uninspiring today, oddly enough not you Paul. For example the comments in that mad Obama with Gabby thread are so fucking lame.

Ol' KC sure ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, that's for sure. Can't wait to hear more about him.

@3, he's one of yours. He's apparently written to Wicker often. 100% certainty that he's mad about libberuls takin' away his precious guns. Just like you. An A+ rating from the NRA isn't good enough anymore, I guess.

So who are you going to attempt to murder, motherfucker?

If this guy is a patsy, and the real culprit's initials aren't KC, then it's the perfect crime.

Actually... I'm not sure how to catagorize this one:
"My name is Kevin Curtis & I blew the whistle on the illegal organ & body parts black market trafficing after being fired & banned from the largest non-metropolitan health care org in the U.S. following an accidental discovery of body parts in morgue "

Is it the Left or the Right that is pro body parts black market??? Cause which ever one is, that's the one he's not.

Good question, Max. You can do it yourself, but most who try don't live to tell about it.

Wow... And an Elvis (on ice!!) impersonator as well.
Are we in a David Lynch movie now?...

From a castor bean would be my guess. The plants grown well in Tennessee.

I'm a dumb M.F. and I'm stupid enough to sign my letters with the initials of my own name.

Yup! He's yours... His "Meetup" profile lists his interests as: "Singles Dinners, Meeting New People, Singles 30's-50's, 40+ Singles Support Group, Dance, Modeling, Ghost Hunting, DEMOCRATIC PARTY, Environment, Local Politics, Social Movements"

(EMPHASIS mine)

He appears to be your typical Elvis impersonating, environment loving, conspiracy theory / persecution complex, liberal, lefty Democrat.

He’s, clearly, all yours dude!

(In fact… I’m not convinced he’s not actually you).

Well he's also over 40, single, and into ghost hunting. So being stupid and unloveable would indicate he's one of yours.

@16
Nope. He's clearly yours. Rember, ALL conservatives HATE the environment, dance and modeling.

And then there is that part where he self identifies as a Democrat...

@7 - The report states that the suspect is named Kenneth Curtis and your guy (albeit one odd dude, that's for sure) is Paul Kevin Curtis. Are you sure it's the same guy?

This is the stupidest thread if the day in a day of stupid SLOG threads.

If you don't believe me, try rereading this piece of shit from the beginning.

Read the article it links to:
"The FBI has arrested a Mississippi man, Paul Kevin Curtis, in connection with letters laced with ricin that were sent to Sen. Roger Wicker and President Barack Obama.

Federal authorities were in Tupelo on Wednesday investigating the letters. Both letters were signed: "I am KC and I approve this message."

Federal officials had originally identified the man as Kenneth Curtis. They have not confirmed if “Kenneth” is an alias."

Note that Fnarf is being conspicuously silent. This means that it's one of those extremely rare occasions when even he realizes what a fuck-up he is.

@17 Remember ALL conservatives HATE President Obama who also got a ricin envelope.

@21 eat your gun sometime, why don't you, tough guy? Pin a note on your shirt or something, so we know it's you.

By "one of yours" I didn't mean "Republican", I meant "gun-loving fuckhead". He's from Mississippi. Even the Democrats in Mississippi are gun fondlers. It's in their makeup. He's mad at Wicker because he voted, right at the time the letters were mailed, to permit today's failed vote to occur. Which was seen at the time as a horrific act of treason by you and people like you.

Funny... He's got a lot of manifesto type stuff posted on line, and none of it mentions guns... His obsession appears to be a black market in body parts... If you can find anything (other than your own myopic speculation) to indicate this was about guns, I look forward to seeing it.

Whatever he identifies as, I think we can agree - dude was a few turns off plumb.

Yup. But let's all DO try to force him into confirming with our own personal narratives! I'm going to choose to believe he's an islamo-terrorist-greenpeace-global warming nut. Fnarf will choose to believe he's a "gun nut".

Alright, everybody. Who wants to claim him?

"You can have him."

"No, you can have him."

"He's one of yours."

"No, he's yours."

"He likes Elvis."

"He likes dancing."

"He's a Democrat."

"He sent ricin to Obama."

... "He likes Elvis."

Everything I've seen says the letters had some crudely ground castor beans that would test as ricin (at least trace amounts) but are not finely-ground, "laboratory" ricin. So this is a very broad interpretation of ricin, and a swift arrest, which appears to show that we can get our man very swiftly, and well, uh, ummmm....ANYWAY...we got this guy faster than that anthrax dude! Yay us!

Anti-choice, gun-nut, Christfag, Mississippi democrat. He might not be a republican, but he's a Conservative.

He... signed his initials on the letter?

This may very well be the stupidest man alive. If he was going to go that far, why not include a photograph as well as his address, social security number and directions to his house?

You said Kenneth Curtis. The article says Paul Kevin Curtis. You really ought to correct yourself.
