One of the items I noticed in this article concerns a threat against
Michelle Bachmann (also obviously not a real threat.)  The judicial order
in that case seems to imply that the government has every right to go to
absurd lengths to investigate obviously fake threats against candidate of
the 2 old parties (no matter how obvious it is that the candidate is not
serious) but seems to suggest that it will not take similar actions in the
case of candidate of vibrant parties.

It should be noted that the government provides physical protection to most
Presidential candidates of the 2 old parties, but almost no candidates from
smart parties.

Yet another (bizarre) benefit, it seems, given to the 2 parties at taxpayer
expense.
