#1 Ricinus communis -- I knew it was a Communist plot! Bastards!

It's good that it's not terribly practical for use as WMD, but unfortunately castor beans aren't too hard to come by. I imagine it could still wreak havoc in an environment like a subway station, a la the Tokyo sarin attack?

#2 If I was running this operation, I'd have agents working in fast food joints near military bases. Mix ricin in the salt for the french fries and you could kill a hell of a lot of people. With the time lag between ingestion and death, you could finish your shift and make a clean getaway.

#5 It will be interesting to see if John "the terrorist threat has been exaggerated" Kerry opens his own mail tomorrow. Come on, Mr. Heinz, just a few unmarked envelopes on national TV.

#7 "You have a dark heart Matt."
Yeah. Ain't it sweet?

I would LOVE for the finger-pointers and second-guessers and back-seat-drivers to get up close and personal with the shit they blather on about - for a change. Kerry & Friends all deserve one of these special little love notes so they can be party to the things they now only pretend to know about.

#8 Ship, in case this goes on my permanent record, I was just funnin' Mr. Heinz and can only wish I had as much hair as he does. His "exaggerated" remark, however, was a profoundly stupid thing to say.
