Fla. Woman Accused In School Threats Arrested

A woman charged with making threats that caused 300 South Florida schools to be locked down and a congressman-elect's top aide to step down has been arrested and is expected in court in California on Wednesday, federal authorities said.

Ellisa Martinez, 48, of New Port Richey, Fla., surrendered to FBI agents near Los Angeles, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami said. She is accused of sending an e-mail on Nov. 10 to WFTL 850 AM conservative talk show host Joyce Kaufman, who was tapped to be U.S. Rep.-elect Allen West's chief of staff. snip

Miami FBI spokesman Michael Leverock said agents have no motive for why Martinez made the threats.

Kaufman's selection to lead West's staff was a surprise, since she's never worked in government. But she was one of his early backers and spoke often at his rallies. West, like many tea party candidates, pledged to work outside the Washington and political establishment.

2. That list is a very good idea...
I think another list is in order that would compliment your list nicely. A list of alleged lefty attacks that were found to actually be hoaxes.
