important broadcast

[realthog]

The National Academies Press (perhaps my favourite publisher in the world, even though I can rarely afford their books) have written to tell me and perhaps a million others about an important upcoming webcast:

This week, the National Academy of Sciences will hold the first meeting to review the FBI investigation of the 2001 anthrax mailings. You can tune in to the live webcast by visiting the National Academies website at these times:

Thursday, July 30, 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST
Friday, July 31, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST

Here's hoping they've discovered CCTV footage of Darth Cheney and Scooter Libby -- the Bush Administration's very own answer to the Beagle Boys -- stuffing and mailing the packages . . .

Very interesting, yes.

Love, c.

Thanks for the link. I'll be sure to tune in, especially because some of the Anthrax mailing had generated from my city. I'd like to see the "bush monkey" administration caught.

"the Bush Administration's very own answer to the Beagle Boys."

I think you made me laugh for like five minutes there.

And I KNEW I'd get to use my Flintheart Glomgold icon again someday!

We can only hope. a LOT.

[sarcobatus.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Good one!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

You bet.

"some of the Anthrax mailing had generated from my city"

I think some of it came from around here (northern NJ) too.

*shrugs nervously*

Nice ikon!

Er, what is?

But even if there's a lot and it's entirely incriminating, we'll be told, 1984-style, to look forward not back . . . to forget what we have seen . . .

Don't insult the Beagle Boys like that. The model for the last Administration was always Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.

"The model for the last Administration was always Beavis and Butt-Head Do America."

An excellent piece of political analysis.

And with everyone fighting over who gets to be Butt-Head.

Your Cheney and Libby joke. Not the anthrax, of course . . .

[realthog.livejournal.com]

"Your Cheney and Libby joke."

I'm not so sure it was a joke . . .

Well, Cheney was always Beavis. I'm reminded of the deleted scene from the movie featuring Beavis using a restroom in the Capitol Building, realizing that he didn't have any toilet paper, and going out to steal the Constitution in order to wipe. (The scene was removed mostly because Paramount management thought it was too extreme.) Cheney was the same way (complete with "We the People" stuck to his shoe), but at least the movie Beavis wasn't guffawing about it.

Besides, you know the real reason why Southern Methodist University wanted the George W. Bush Presidential Library, right? It's because SMU has the only existing copy of Bush's intended 2000 concession speech: "Uhhhhh...like, this sucks worse than anything has ever sucked before. Huh huh huh huh."

He'd been practicing it in front of the teleprompter, hm?

[txtriffidranch.livejournal.com]

And he needed his best speechwriters to get that far.

"And he needed his best speechwriters to get that far."

Not to mention the ventriloquist.
