The Sunday Times has a good source of documents that are starting to blow apart the lies and misleading that led up to the Iraq War. They have been given the famous “Downing Street Minutes” and now the background paper used at the meeting which we should perhaps call “The Downing Street Briefing”.
I think I am now in a position to name the source.
Well sort of. May I suggest that their source be known from now on as:
Deep Thought
As well as having connotations of “Deep Throat” from the Watergate leaks, the name has a British connection. Deep Thought is the computer in “Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (radio and TV series, book and now a feature film) which provides the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everthing.
Could also be the average of 41 and 43?
There you go blaming Clinton again

tinfoil hat on

When my 13 y/o son and I saw Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, he kept asking me why I totally lost it when the “Deep Thought” computer was on screen. After a few inadequate explanations, he said “I guess you had to be there,” and left it at that. Generational difference or shared experiences? I think he understands peripherally the cultural references, but deep down, he thinks I’m totally weird. Deep Thought…Deep Throat…I guess you really did have to be alive then to get the joke. OT…Douglas Addams was a genius at finding the the absurd in the mundane. For Douglas, we miss you.
Like it. But, how about Deep Shit.
(Please God, I have never asked for much. But, if you could please send me a whole heaping of outrage from American citizens, an a legitimate impeachment inquiry for the U.S. House of Representative. I’ll never ever ask for anything else. In your name. Ahem.)
