Know no more than that, as everything was pre-empted by the Anthony circus, but wonder if he was incited by the hoax report or its exposure as a hoax.

Fox swears they were hacked, but (1) left the tweets up for many hours after the hoax was discovered; (2) increased traffic on that site enormously thereby, presumably from Obama- haters. Could they have done it themselves, with that objective? Could someone, somewhere, be trying to inspire something? What do you think?
