Mary Souza is smelling a rat again. Seems she thinks the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce endorsement was a done deal before she and Frankie-Come-Lately Orzell gave their pro-recall spiel to the chamber Thursday. She makes somewhat of a deal about Mayor Sandi Bloem, Sara Meyer and Jennifer Riggs Drake being in the chamber lobby waiting their turn for a presentation. Then, Mary surmises that the chamber endorsement was a done deal, even before the opposing presentations. And she wonders whether their was corroboration among the chamber, the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, and North Idaho Building Contractors Association in writing letters opposing the recall Thursday. Writes Mary: "One alert reader took all the letters from the power associations who came out against the Recall, and lined them up, only to realize they seem to be written in the same manner and style. Could it be that one person/group is authoring these and pressuring organizations to get in line?" As Dave Barry would say of this conspiracy theory: I'm not making this up.

Question: Am I starting to detect a bit of worry in Mary's tone?
