Death of a Census Worker and MSM Bias
A census worker in Kentucky was found hanged, in a forest, with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest. His death has now been ruled a suicide:
A part-time U.S. Census worker found dead near a secluded Clay County cemetery killed himself but tried to make the death look like a murder, authorities have concluded.
Bill Sparkman, 51, of London, apparently was trying to preserve payments under life insurance policies he had taken out, one as recently as May, which paid benefits if he died as a result of murder or accident, but not suicide or natural causes, police said.
Suicide, like murder, is certainly tragic. But at the time Sparkman’s body was first discovered, the liberal media tried to paint it as murder by angry conservative rednecks.
Lachian Markay at NewsBusters rounds up some examples.

Two questions. What drove Bill Sparkman to commit such a desperate act? How long before someone suggests the government should require insurers to cover death by suicide?

And how long before the left claims that redneck Kentucky authorities are covering up a murder by a fellow right-winger?

On the one hand, I’ll give the Progressives this - it was not all that implausible a suggestion on its face.
Mr. Sparkman was, after all, trying his best to make it look like exactly that sort of thing.

Not a pleasant way to go.
When the MSM were trying to pin it on Libertarians, Mike over at Sipsey Street gave a far more plausable suggestion:
He could have accidentally intruded on a meth lab or a field of hash.
If it was suicide, there’s no one to villify but Sparkman himself.

Jeff,
Feel free to delete this if it is in-appropriate here, it certainly gave me more enjoyment than looking at fat arsed girls in ug boots.
Some links to the unfolding global warming scandal - the guys are unravelling the fortran code for the climate models and are discovering all sorts of admissions about data lost, not knowing what data they’ve got, fudge factors etc etc.
The utube vid has hitler ranting about the farce, I’m not sure what the angle is - whether AGW sceptics are supposed to be nazis or the other way around- either way, it is v. funny.
