BROWNCOATS AVOID BOGUS ACCUSATIONS

SHADOW (Independent News Agency) - After a sensitive news item appeared on the CNN political ticker today, Browncoats at the world-famous Fireflyfans.net community managed to avoid the usual finger-pointing.

The article was about a Senatorial staff member who was arrested on charges of attempting to have sex with a minor. But that wasn’t what got regulars at Fireflyfans.net excited. “Usually after a news story like this,” commented Kaylee, “those folks all start yelling on the RWED forums. ‘This is what you’d expect from a Republican,’ they’ll say, or ‘More evidence of Democratic pedophilia.’ But this time, nothing. Just crickets.”

And what is it that has the Fireflyfans community keeping their heads on this topic? “It’s Succatash,” suggested Jane, “rumor on the street is he has a cruise missile programmed to hit the next loudmouth who says something stupid.” But other commentators thought that something more fundamental was at the core of this non-issue.

“They’re good folks,” Mal mused, “and they’ve learned to see pointlessness when it’s staring them in the face. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll take a stand. I’ll fight. I’ll even crawl through the mud. But I won’t sling any, and apparently neither will they.”

One commentator had a somewhat different take. “You can survive for up to thirty seconds with your head detached from your body,” advised River. And that about sums up the story in a nutshell. This reporter is glad to see political arguments directed in profitable directions. If this keeps up, things just might get shiny in the ‘verse again.

Senate aide arrested on child sex charges

A former aide to Sen. Cantwell has been arrested on child sex charges.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A staff member for Sen. Maria Cantwell has been arrested on charges he tried to arrange to have sex with a 13-year-old boy.

James Michael McHaney, 28, was arrested by federal agents Friday in the lobby of a building where they say he thought he would meet a witness cooperating with authorities and have sex with the boy, according to court documents.

A spokesman for Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington, said her office was informed of the arrest Friday afternoon and that McHaney was immediately fired.

"Our office has and will continue to fully cooperate with the ongoing federal criminal investigation," said Michael Meehan, Cantwell's chief of staff. "Sen. Cantwell has zero tolerance for crimes against children."

According to documents filed Nov. 30 in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C., the witness, while being supervised by authorities, sent an online message to McHaney Friday asking if he was interested in having sex with a 13-year-old boy. McHaney said he could take a long lunch break and went to the building where he was arrested and charged with attempted child exploitation, authorities said.

Channing Phillips, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington D.C., said McHaney appeared before a magistrate judge Monday and was ordered held without bond until a preliminary court hearing on Wednesday.
