Letter: Don’t believe story, blame Obama

The Columbian
Published: June 1, 2013, 5:00pm

If you believe that an over-height truck hitting a structural member of the Skagit River bridge caused it to collapse, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.

Here’s what really happened: An IRS drone fired a Hellfire missile at a truck carrying a cargo of Tea Party pamphlets. The intelligence for this mission was provided by al-Qaida in exchange for receiving tax exempt 501(c) status as a social and charitable organization. Now you know the rest of the story. Blame Obama.
