Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I thought Beck the pundit was now as irrelevant as Beck the musician.

Don't think there had been much bombing in the years leading up to 7/7. It certainly wasn't a regular occurence by then.101Walterton wrote:Isn't that because you get used to it?

So, he had nothing. Though I guess he could have revealed more on his 5PM eastern TV show but I don't have Dish Network and certainly wouldn't give Beck any money for an internet subscription. I doubt it was anything of substance unless you are already convinced there is a cover-up.

I'm so punk, I don't even take my leather jacket off when it catches fire. Which it does frequently, because of how fucking punk I am.

Re: Chaos at MIT
According to a WaPo breaking news alert I got, these guys aren't considered serious candidates for being part of any actual terrorist organization, and their motivation was our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Blowback.
Blowback.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!
