“MSM and insanity seem to go together...”

Agreed. This so soon after the guy found dead in the landfill is a little spooky. Looks like somebody is tying up loose ends.

I notice that the merger wasn’t cancelled due to her untimely death.

Something’s not right - wheels are toys. Aluminum frame is lightweight garbage cart. Wall on left not evenly blackened. Odd pattern of burn - this stuff must have been piled there by firefighter. But something’s not right.

Something’s not right. No one inside the house noticed?

It’s a very odd story. I agree.

Gets odder. Apparently a friend knows things we don’t:

“Ashley Turton, my friend of 21 years. You’re breaking my heart. Don’t rest in peace. Raise hell. I’ll meet you with Dead tunes and bourbon.”

Bad things happen with Dead tunes bourbon at 5 am.

[mlizzy]

Hhhhmmm. I’m assuming Dead tunes are Grateful Dead tunes, and I *know* what bourbon is ... if she’s truly a friend, she’ll be talking with the police soon ... I hope ...

Don’t rest in peace.

Are leftists born strange or do they work at it their whole life?

[Gabrial]

That my friend, is an explosion.

Also, no one has commented the car she was found dead in happens to be one of the safest vehicles ever built in terms of crash worthiness.

There seems to be little news about this. Any updates?

[Gabrial]

Per this article ATF called in.http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/dc/friends-remember-dc-lobbyist-killed-in-mysterious-fire-011111

Why call the ATF into a “taffic incident”?????
