    No. 1 -- the story you posted doesn't refute anything that was originally reported, just questions some of the facts.

    No. 2 -- I wasn't jumping to conclusions. I was having fun with a hypothetical Right Wing Loony response. But you're not a Right Wing Loony, so you shouldn't be upset.

    Kind of reminds me of this post from someone -- I can't remember -- regarding SC governor Mark Sansom.

    "Talk about fabricating a story to try to crap on another potential in 2012. Well done, libs."

    And of course, that poster has been back to admit he was wrong, right?

    Yeah ... about that ...<blockquote>BIG CREEK, Ky. – A part-time census worker found hanging in a rural Kentucky cemetery was naked, gagged and had his hands and feet bound with duct tape, said an Ohio man who discovered the body two weeks ago. . . .

    Jerry Weaver of Fairfield, Ohio, told The Associated Press on Friday that he was among a group of relatives who made the gruesome discovery on Sept. 12.

    "The only thing he had on was a pair of socks," Weaver said. "And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something."

    "And they even had duct tape around his neck. And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder."

    Two people briefed on the investigation said various details of Weaver's account matched the details of the crime scene, though both people said they were not informed who found the body. The two spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.</blockquote>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090926/ap_on_re_us/us_census_worker_hanged
