    Didn't see a thread on this here, so my humble apologies if I missed it. But Vegas police, after denying all day that there was a terrorist tie to the guy who is hospitaized after he inhaled ricin in his hotel room, now say guns and an "anarchist book" were found along with the several vials of ricin.

    Well duh. Because people have several vials of ricin just in case.

    All day this has reminded me of the idiots in Florida who tried explaining away the first two anthrax cases in '01 by saying they must have inhaled some spores in the swamp. Me thinks we--and Vegas--shoud be happy this guy was a bumbling fool.

    Sounds like he wrecked his havoc by spilling the ricin.

    They should call Cole Hamels' beanballs "ricin."

    One must wonder why the police and/or Associated Press haven't released the name of Ricin Man?

    Must be somebody from Sweden, they're noted for this kind of stuff, eh?
    Perhaps the Gitmo Gazette will call Ricin Man a Disaffected Youth; yeah, that we'll do.
    I've been busy the last 24 hours, did AP release the name of this sack of shit, yet?

    his name has been released, and now investigators want to search at least one residence in the salt lake city area -- the man had been staying at his cousin's house in slc and living in a RV. not much new info though from the papers in vegas or slc. a woman called Ricin Man a "loner."
