The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigates a blogger who quotes a lyric from the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour."

The blogger � a Democratic activist named Daniel Tilson � made fun of an on-line "tax cut calculator" as "Gov. Scott�s Magical Mystery Tax Cut Calculator" and used the line from the song "Coming to take you away, take you away..."

Some person at FDLE (an �analyst,� the agency said) eyeballed those words on Tilson�s blog and perceived a potential threat to the governor. Could somebody be plotting to take him away, take him away...?

Not since Charlie Manson got mesmerized by �Helter Skelter� has anyone twisted the words of a Beatles song so ludicrously � and Manson, let�s remember, is crazier than an outhouse rat.

Yet the FDLE, the top crime-busting force in Florida, detected possible ominous undertones in the lyrics of �Magical Mystery Tour.� An agent was promptly sent to interview Tilson....

I thought no one took song lyrics seriously anymore. Anyway, "coming to take you away" meant that whatever it is that is coming � the mystery tour or the tax cut calculator � is going to transport you on a journey into ecstasy or madness. The song "Magical Mystery Tour" is quite obviously about going on a psychedelic drug trip. It's hard even to try to project a threat of violence into "coming to take you away" in that very 1960s songs. Other coming to take you away material from those simpler times:

1. "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!," the 1966 novelty single by Napoleon XIV. The "they" who were coming were the "men in white coats" � which is an expression you don't hear anymore � who would take him to "the funny farm" � you don't hear that either.

2. Calgon "Take me away" advertising. For some, it took drugs. For others, a simple bath:
