July Surprise: Bobby Fischer Found

Chess genius and “pathologically perverted anti-Semite” Bobby Fischer has been detained in Japan, and may be deported to the U.S. to face charges that he violated international sanctions by playing chess in Yugoslavia in 1992. This on the eve of the Democratic Convention and just four months before the election. A coincidence? I don’t think so. The Bushies will stop at nothing when it comes to manipulating the public’s fear of childishly demented board game experts.

(via Yahoo!, where you can read all about Fischer’s crazy-time shenanigans.)
