A convenient suicide, Water Cannons and Good Gorilla News


By convenient, I mean Dr. Iwins. This isn’t the first suicide that is linked to the build up to the Iraq war. Over in England the there is the still mysterious suicide of a weapons expert who claimed that the British government “sexed up” the Iraqi WMD claims in a dossier. Considering that there where no Iraqi WMD, that claim seems true despite high ranking investigations of themselves essentially clearing them selves of any wrong doing.

Yes that was being sarcastic.

Anyway – the portrait being leaked is of a world class creep, pervert and dangerously violent man – which suits more a man grabbing several guns and walking into the nearest MacDonald’s and opening up rather that carefully and cautiously using weapoinzed anthrax to mail to various senators and congress men (democratic to a man by the by) along with letters to media figures said by the Rush Limbaugh crowd to be leftists and one to the New York Post (this letter was also one of the last and could very well be a kind of red herring) .

But we’ll see – the problem is several fold – that Irvin is dead makes it hard for him to defend himself – and can lead to sloppy work by the prosecutors and the like. Two – it’s just the kind of thing that rings the conspiracy alarm in people’s heads. If it wasn’t for Oswald’s bizarre death there wouldn’t be an 1/8th of the conspiracy theories that float about JFK's murder. And it’s not like this administration isn’t above lying – today’s’ hot news is an accusation that a letter linking Al Queda with Iraq was a complete forgery. While in a sane world, the scandal, if true, would probably force the president and vice president to resign, especially after the revelations of Dick Cheney wanting to dress Navy Seals as Iranians to get the US Navy to fire on them - this will be a three days wonder at most

Meantime – Dick Cheney is not going to speak at the convention as the campaign slogan for McCain this year is “McCain he’s not a Republican so stop saying that.” – They do have to let the president speak but I suspect they will give him 11 am on the first day – which means nobody will see.

Meantime meantime – W has arrived in Korea as he makes his way to china to embarrass himself again. I remember reading a report that he thought he was getting more popular in the US as the crowds of demonstrators was getting smaller – (because well – frankly folks are tired as hell of him and want him to do away) that however doesn’t seem to be the mood of some Koreans who at last report were being sprayed by water cannon.

Good to see some things haven’t changed yet.

Meantime meantime meantime – 125,000 lowland gorillas have been discovered living in some swampland in the Republic of Congo - prior to the survey they knew there were gorillas in this area but they didn’t know just how many of them there were.

Just as long as they are not heavily armed and waiting this is good news.
Well other things to do.

Peace Love Gorillas, lots of gorillas.
