Stacy McCain Scooped!

Stacy McCain went out to Kentucky recently to investigate the Sparkman murder, but it looks like he got scooped by Eve Conant of Newsweek. McCain says not enough facts are known to draw any conclusions; however, Eve Conant solved the whole case from the comfort of her den (possibly sitting by the fire in her deer-stalker cap, smoking a pipe laced with cocaine). Now, Conant doesn't come right out and say "J'accuse", but it's pretty clear that she holds anti-government conservative crackpots responsible.

Nice try, Stacy, but the patient search for facts is no match for the brain-storming cogitations of a sedentary criminologist employed by True Detective Magazine Newsweek.

    One question friend Paco: I haven't even been near Kentucky lately, I don't think Detective Paco has been either [only you can confirm that], and neither have any other of our VRWC friends: how could she conclude we did it?

  2. "I've seen census folks poking around on private property like they own everything in sight," posts one visitor to Stormfront.org, a white supremacist site. "Eastern Kentucky is probably the last place you'd want to do that."

    Might I suggest that ANYWHERE in this country is probably the last you'd want to do that?

    But, yeah, it looks like Eve Conant is trying to follow in the footsteps of Mycroft Holmes.......and fails. Miserably.

  4. I, er, wronwright would have covered our tracks better, but we were in a hurry to get to Copenhagen and ruin Obie's Olympics bid.

    And let me tell you, I, that is wronwright was furious when he found out the legal grass was in Amsterdam, not Copenhagen....

  5. The area where his body was discovered is remote, and is known as a hot spot for marijuana production.

    So, his death couldn't possibly have been at the hands of drug dealer/growers who might have thought he was a DEA agent, or anything like that. It had to be a murder committed by gap-toothed, cousin-marrying, anti-gubmint Southerners.

    As if in the rest of America there are no other remote, rural places good for growing pot where it might be a good idea not to stray into.
