Amanda’s Head and the Biodome in Montreal 1/06
The news is very strange. Sometimes it seems like I’m supposed to read a secret message in the disparate, sometimes disturbing, stories. Of note:
~ Bush is pushing ahead with his 21,500-troop “surge,” despite the fact that the war has suddenly become unpopular with even some of his strongest congressional supporters.
~ Former President Carter has sanctioned terrorism in his bestselling book by urging Palestinians et al. to make it clear that they will stop terrorist acts when “the ultimate goals” of an internationally-sponsored peace accord “are accepted by Israel.” So, I guess he’s saying they should keep up the terrorism until they get what they want.
~ The Duke Lacrosse alleged-rape case got more confusing, now that the defendant has changed her story significantly.
~ Ecuador will be a socialist state within the year.
~ Canada is in the free-for-all, with terrorists arrested in Ontario and the discovery of false Canadian coins with RF transmitters inside them (I knew it! Those coins were always just a little too cute…)
~ Last but not least: certain gadgets highlight exactly what cell phones are, in their little microprocessing heart of hearts.
In other news, I am a very, very slow Scrabble player. I did not realize it took Alex and me until 2 a.m. to finish our game.
Score:
Alex – 329
Me – 324
Grrrrr.
