They've modified their site in recent days and removed the "Town Meeting" forum and diaries. I thought about asking what's up, but didn't do that either. With Rove's history of scaring as many people as possible, let your conscience be your guide regarding Leopold. It's all troubling, but just another day in the life of Bush's America.«—U®Anu§—»https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044248315262502099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1159369972583124682006-09-28T01:12:00.000+10:002006-09-28T01:12:00.000+10:00as i've said before, the JFK thing started me off ...as i've said before, the JFK thing started me off on the road to personal anguish and ruin.<BR/><BR/>Uranus: what Damien said, excellent analogy.<BR/><BR/>about Leopold, they prolly blackbagged him (as they did in VfV).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1159355962800926852006-09-27T21:19:00.000+10:002006-09-27T21:19:00.000+10:00I don't remember where I read it or I'd go looking...I don't remember where I read it or I'd go looking for it, but someone wrote that John, Jr. was thinking seriously about running in 2000, and unsealing the Warren report was a big personal motivation for him. Bush, Sr., who was working his way up in the CIA in 1963, did not want that to happen, even almost 40 years later. There was a rumor John's plane was shot down. Although it was recovered, I never saw a picture of it. The official story is there's no mystery, the plane iced up in heavy overcast and John's instrument skills weren't everything they should have been. I know a little about flying, and instrument flying isn't too hard to master with a little practice; but, you couldn't get me to fly a single engine plane in that part of the world in bad weather.<BR/><BR/>I'd have that cool one! I love to drink, but I was so prolific I had to give it up at 28, and still have a very toxic reaction. It's the greatest tragedy of my life. Anyway...some of this stuff I write seems rather over the edge, but the point is what passes as legitimate news on so many subjects wouldn't have passed judgment where I studied journalism for lack of attributation. If politicians won't say and reporters don't question it, it isn't real news. As a news writer I had ocassion to interview people who acted like their bullshit was secret, and I told them readers wouldn't understand if they couldn't do better. They hated me, but the office staff loved it. Thanks for letting me write, Luke. This site stays very on purpose and isn't haunted by untalented opportunists like so many sites whose URLs I won't mention.«—U®Anu§—»https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044248315262502099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1159354155236474102006-09-27T20:49:00.000+10:002006-09-27T20:49:00.000+10:00damien: "I'm not so much into the JFK stuff person...damien: "I'm not so much into the JFK stuff personally.

More likely he rediscovered the Risk of Telling Fortunes. Evil is contagious, but free thinking is far more contagious. If you can inspire a little free thinking in a few people, you can make a large contribution in the world.«—U®Anu§—»https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044248315262502099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1159343936908999672006-09-27T17:58:00.000+10:002006-09-27T17:58:00.000+10:00lol.terrific analogy Uranus.funny.lol.terrific analogy Uranus.funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
