ID: “Unknown Wanderer” May Be Linked to 1982 Tylenol Murders
Source: Newser
“The man once known only as the ‘Unknown Wanderer’ in Boise now has a name—and a curious tie to one of the country’s most infamous unsolved crimes, CBS News reports. Idaho investigators say the man found dead by cyanide in a Boise church in December 1982 has been identified via DNA as Dr. Mathew Francis Betkouski, a chemist with a long-standing obsession with poisons. While authorities aren’t formally tying him to Chicago’s 1982 ‘Tylenol Murders,’ in which seven people were killed by cyanide-laced Tylenol, investigators have revealed evidence that appears to possibly link him to the cold case. He had a history of working in drugstores, and colleagues recalled him having a fascination with carrying out the ‘perfect crime,’ the AP reports.” (09/24/26)

Media ban, flying furries: GOP’s midterm messaging is a mess
Source: USA Today
by Rex Huppke
“In America right now, the people are shouting, ‘Gas prices! Food prices! Health care costs!’ And the Republican Party, six weeks out from the midterm elections, is responding: ‘What’s that? You want us to fight with the media? Or how about we get mad about this issue nobody has ever heard of because it’s something we made up?’ It’s as if the words ‘read the room’ never entered the GOP’s lexicon.” (09/24/26)
