(Alleged) Would Be Assassins Plead Not Guilty In Memphis

From the AP: 

Two white supremacists have pleaded not guilty in an alleged plot to kill President-elect Barack Obama and dozens of other black people.

Twenty-year-old Daniel Cowart of Tennessee and 18-year-old Paul Schlesselman of Arkansas spoke only to give their pleas Thursday morning in a Memphis courtroom.

And my favorite part:

Court records indicate their scheme fell apart quickly.

Calling it a "scheme" is giving it a bit more than it deserves, isn't it? I'd say it was more a "blunder," or a "blooper," some "hijinx," maybe. Or just a "tragic and unrepresentative invitation for people living in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast to make stupid jokes."
