I like when I end up looking smart, in this case for not jumping on the crucify Michelle Bachmann bandwagon (though she is, of course, thoroughly nuts).

Ultimately, unless there is direct evidence found one way or another, it may not be possible to assign one murder to one cause. And jumping to conclusions isn't particularly useful except as a rhetorical club. It is something to watch and investigate, of course.
And why is it that people who write on themselves to incite outrage in others can never seem to do it properly.
