Facebook is all in a lather today, because somebody posted a poll two days ago as to whether the president should be assassinated. Such a poll is of course, disgusting, and oooooohhh, the Secret Service is investigating, and they’re gonna get their criminal.

Secret Service probing Facebook poll on Obama

Look carefully. Take a minute to think about it, and suddenly a lightbulb will come on. Could it be? The president (or his own agents) had that poll placed himself??
