After impeachment suggestion, Santa Cruz mayor's bakery visited by FDA

[Mairead]

Santa Cruz Mayor Emily Reilly is warning her constituents in this liberal beach town not to jump to conspiracy theories about several unusual events involving her bakery in the days since the city council decided to challenge President Bush.

It was Reilly who, after a Santa Cruz City Council vote on Sept. 9, sent a letter to Washington asking the U.S. House Judiciary Committee to consider impeaching President Bush

Four days later, a sophisticated burglar pried moulding off a window at Emily's Good Things to Eat bakery, evaded a motion detector and stole an old computer hard drive and the hard-drive backup.

Then, on Sept. 17, Emily's Good Things To Eat bakery was visited by an agent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, who introduced himself, showed his identification, and looked around. He asked if they used artificial coloring (heavens no!) or if they transported anything across the state lines (they've been known to mail cookie-grams).

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

1. I live in Santa Cruz...

I'll make a special trip to Emily's this weekend to give her a little support (and buy some yummies!)

2. That's Four

KY's Lt. Governor harrassed by the feds, Philly's Mayor harrassed by the feds and Santa Cruz and Arcata Mayors being harrassed by the feds.

I see a pattern here and I'm wondering if these are "only" isolated incidents.

4. Good eye.

If it continues, post a thread so we can follow the pattern. Keep a log of the links.

3. Yeah, burglers always go for that old, used hard drive.

FBI doing black ops for Bush?

5. Not only the old, used hard drive but its backup too

Whatever that means (reporter confusion, I suspect)

6. The only thing that resonates:

"or if they transported anything across the state lines (they've been known to mail cookie-grams)."

If you cross state lines, that's a buzz word for intra-state commerce which means it's within federal jurisdiction.
