Publishing this prize-winning bit of journalism from the Washington Times, so samintex doesn't have to.
And because it cracked me up on a blah Monday afternoon.

"Medical examiners in Los Angeles are investigating the possible poisoning death of one of their own officials who may have worked on the case of Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand who died March 1, the same day Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced probable cause for forgery in President Obama’s birth certificate.

WTF?


Michael Cormier, a respected forensic technician for the Los Angeles County Coroner died under suspicious circumstances at his North Hollywood home April 20, the same day Breitbart’s cause of death was finally made public.

“There are mysterious circumstances surrounding his death,” said Elizabeth Espinosa, a news reporter for KTLA-TV. “We’re told detectives are looking into the possibility that he was poisoned by arsenic.”

Arsenic, eh?

Any old lace found at the crime scene?

...And the "related" link at the bottom:
Coroner rules out foul play in Breitbart death

So, someone who worked at the coronor's office who may or may not have had any involvement in determining the cause of death of a fat and unhealthy person which decision in no way implicated anyone in any position of political authority in any way of wrongdoing may or may not have been poisoned under what may or may not be suspicious circumstances which is certainly not related in any way to the actions of a notoriously mentally deficient sheriff.

Wow! That's an amazing bit of news.

Thank you for bringing that to our attention!

So the coroner ruled it natural causes but Obama's men were afraid he might wake up one day and say, "You know, I've changed my mind." You can't be too careful.

Or maybe this guy knew what really killed Breitbart and so when the false report was released he had to be killed and releasing the report the same day that Sheriff Joe said something about Obama's birth certificate was just a ploy to distract the lame stream media away from the TRUTH about Pres. Obama. Or something.

April 20th also just happens to be the birthday of a certain well-known, Austrian-born giant @#$%& politician.

No, not Ahnold.

Coincidence?

I think Vince Foster killed him.

When is Quincy going to look into this?

Quincy took early retirement, now lives on a retired LA Coroner salary of about a half-mil give or take.

Ahhh, Quincy -- definitely a blast from the past. The worst directed television show with the worst performances by an otherwise competent actor. He was always so angry and so self righteous. What he should have been angry about was the backlog of work. On the other hand, the firearms forensics group was even more backed up for a long time.

By the way, if a licensed MD medical examiner looked at the decedent's heart and found strong evidence of a massive heart attack, then what possible difference does it make who the technician on the case was? You really have to be working hard at avoidance to forget to ask such fundamental questions.

Ahhh... you've ALL got it wrong. It's part of the ancient vampire / undead conspiracy, stretching back to Abraham Lincoln, vampire Slayer.

I was shocked to read that he was only 43 when he died. Seriously from his photos and videos, I would have pegged him for mid 50's. I think it's "the good life" that got him.

Anger got him. You can't walk around as pissed off as he always was and not eventually blow a gasket.

Cocaine played a role too. The guy played pretty hard.

Quincy?
He's still alive.
Just turned 90, in fact.

I guess he got too caught up in the manufactured outrage business and started believing.

I thought he reinvented himself and was now playing the role of J. Paul Krugman.

I really think he had a lot of rage and found a way to make a living at it. It would also explain all the partying. People who knew him described him as nice. So I think he was one big repressed ball of anger. Or maybe I just don't understand how a person could do what he did unless they were hostile.

He had some pretty serious adult ADD going on.

Here's what one of his friends said about it:

"Andrew proudly said his never-stop-running style was due to Attention Deficit Disorder--his "gift" as he once called it--but I think it was something deeper--a conviction that he was living the best life he knew how. He was always up late, tweeting, emailing, calling, texting. Media was his life. "
