Titled:   O'Connor details half-baked attempt to kill Supreme Court

O'Connor:

"Every member of the Supreme Court received a wonderful package of home-baked cookies, and I don't know why, (but) the staff decided to analyze them," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram quoted O'Connor as saying at the legal conference November 10 in the Dallas area. "Each one contained enough poison to kill the entire membership of the court."

In the same article:

Barbara Joan March, a 60-year-old Connecticut woman, was sentenced last month to 15 years in prison. She sent 14 threatening letters in April 2005 -- each with a baked good or piece of candy laced with rat poison -- to a variety of federal officials: the nine Supreme Court justices; FBI Director Robert Mueller; his deputy; the chief of naval operations; the Air Force chief of staff and the chief of staff of the Army.

Two basic pieces of advice are obvious here:

• Don't eat cookies sent to you by someone you don't know.
• Especially if they are accompanied by a threatening note.

Maybe someone should explain this to Ms. O'Connor.
