It’s a coin flip deciding who looks crazier these days. Escaped psycho killer Phillip Arnold Paul? Or the alleged mental health professionals at Eastern State Hospital who let Paul and a troop of other criminally dangerous patients go on a field trip to the Spokane County fair? That sure turned out swell, huh? Here’s a thought. Next time Eastern State decides to make it Hannibal Lecter Day at the fair, how about letting the public know so families can skip the giant pumpkins and barnyard fun and head to a mall for a movie? As everyone in the country now knows, Paul ditched his keepers and, like the boogeyman, remains at large (Update: Paul was captured Sunday afternoon). A lot of people are pretty sore at Eastern State administrators for waiting two hours before sounding any alarms about Paul’s vanishing act/Doug Clark, SR. More here.

Question: So, who do you think is crazier: Phillip Arnold Paul? Or the mental health professionals at Eastern State Hospital who let him go on a field trip to the fair?
