you know it's funny, i was just looking at the new "dark angel" edition of TV Guide, and inside is a tribute to Barbara Olson, famous person from the DC area who died in the plane that hit the pentagon (flight 77 was it?) and it tells of her scathing book "Hell to Pay" against Hillary Clinton, and how Kenneth Starr was guest at her house often. How Hillary actually mentioned her group as "far right-wing (insert something bad)" on a tv show. Then i remember back at all the newspapers before Sept. 11th. They had pictures and titles and even stories that almost showed that everyone knew it was going to happen. not that i think everyone knew, but it was SO eerie going thru the papers a few days after, looking for articles i might have wanted to save or something i circled, and seeing the illustration of biting sharks under airplanes for a column about... what i can't remember. articles about safety, the economy, flying! all kinds of things. business, the president's popularity. i don't know, it all tied in somehow to the events of the 11th, just like that traffic thing that happened to me on monday the 10th. it all meant something. but what i didn't know and the thought of saving all those papers and cutting them out and scanning them etc, i just threw them away. i just had to let it go.
but yesterday, i was looking at a paper some guy handed me as i waited at a red light taking juju to dr's office for ear infections last time, and it said shoot the neighbor's cat. it's about how the attacks could have only been carried out by americans and so we're freaking out by attacking the middle east, and we're also being lied to, which i thought was ridiculous (not being lied to, of course). anyway, after reading about Barbara's battle with Hillary, the idea seemed more believable. let's see if i can dig up the link.
here it is of course, being the pack rat i am, i now wish i would have saved all those newspapers. it was so freaky at the time i hd to put them down. then the next day it wasn't as freaky and i just let it go. feel free to comment...
