Saw the following good post about the nut on Portal Of Evil this morning:

The affidavit contains incredible details
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2006/11/the-castagana-correspondence-right-what-you-know.phpHe sent a powder-filled bag containing an anti-semitic threat to Jon Stewart. However, our genius Freep hero sent it to the wrong Jon Stewart.
He apparently figured it out, because he later sent an additional letter to the correct Stewart. It contained a photograph of a dead guy with a boner.
Unsurprisingly, English grammar eludes him:
more then one way to frag a demagogue... your kind are the real poison
This is funny in light of his English-only rantings
English is the langauge of the United States of America- - our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution are written in the langauge that expresses our civilized freedoms .
Spanish is the language of Banana Republics, beyond that it belongs in a European country .
He tried to conceal his location by using the return addresses of random celebrities, but authorities were easily able to track down the letters to the correct post office by reading the postmarks.
The letters were sent in Ready Post Document Mailer envelopes. It was a simple matter to for the agents to cross reference the mailing date with sales of said envelopes. It turns out that a money order was purchased during the same transaction. More on this later.
Castagana used unusual decade-old stamps on some of the letters. One of the postal employees was a stamp collector, and remembered both the stamps and the customer who used them. He specifically recalled the Navajo Jewelry and 1900s Circus Wagon stamps that were used on the Letterman package.
Meanwhile, investigators found that the ID number used on the money order belonged to Castagana. A surveillance team was assigned to his house.
The very first day of the stakeout, Castagana emerged from his home holding several envelopes. He walked right past his own personal mailbox and strolled over to a public box about half a mile away. The surveillance team watched him place the letters in the box. They called ahead and had the box secured so that the post man wouldn't take the mail. A Hazmat team was sent to extract the contents, and a powder-filled envelope addressed to Keith Olbermann was found.
What really gets me isn't that he sent the first letter to the wrong Stewart, or that he hasn't mastered the grammar of his own native langauge, or that he never thought that authorites would check the postmarks, or that he used distinctive stamps for mail-order terrorism, or even that he bought a money order with his state ID number on it during the same transaction that he bought the envelopes used during the crime. What really drives it home to me that this guy is a first-order retard is the reason he bought the money order.
It was a contribution to the Katherine Harris campaign.

Nobody. This is truly unique. At least, I hope it is.
