It turns out that the death of a census worker in Kentucky was a suicide, not an act of domestic terrorism. Thus, contrary to my earlier speculation, the people who have been trying to whip up panic fear of the federal government in general and the Census in particular aren’t in fact responsible for the killing.

    Would it be paranoid to wonder if the state medical examiner had been bribed by the deceased’s life insurer?

  2. Randy Paul says:

    What sort of life insurance policy doesn’t pay for death by natural causes?

  3. Sean says:

    Randy,

    I bet if he wanted term, instead of the more expensive whole life, he had to get one that didn’t cover natural causes because of his cancer. Term policies can be hard to get if you’re likely to actually die.

    Thank God nothing happened to Glen Beck, or surely Mark Kleiman would have had blood on his hands. Unless and until contrary facts emerge, I’m going to assume that some Ft. Hood was retaliation for this, and that Mark incited it.
