The politics of nature

Scott Seidman:
A number of questions are raised by the incredibly bedraggled, tired and
crushed condition of this once savage, dapper and pampered ruler who was
discovered in a hole in the ground on Saturday, December 13:


Scott, I'll make an attempt at this.

Someone in hiding does not normally visit a barber and may not have access
to all the personal hygiene options that person once had. Growing a beard
is an easy disguise for many people, particularly in a region where beards
are common place.

Bunkers are often primitive in nature and are made small to aid concealment.
The entrance to this one was plugged, but with styrofoam and covered with a
rug. That hardly precludes being opened from beneath. Living on the run
will make one look beaten and hungry. As to the two men who fled and left
him, and the money, your supposition is as good as mine.

And with regard to Debka, I read it from time to time. Like any other
source it needs to be considered in light of its agenda and its actual
access to information. In this situation, I tend to believe the Army's
story.

yeah, after that whopper they cooked up for the Jessica Lynch saga, could they
have that much bull**** left in them?

On that matter, Tom, I agree with you. I'm sorry she was injured. I'm also
sorry that someone chose to hype the incident.

But it doesn't shake my faith in all military sources. PR people are the
same whether they wear a uniform or a suit.

Not exactly. By and large, the ones in suits murder fewer children.

and yes, i do understand that not everyone thinks the distinction is
valid.....or important.

Who do you think is generating the agenda for the guys in the uniforms?

Um.......hm.......o.k., I give up.

Wolfgang
who, having pondered this very question for ever so long, hopes that
it wasn't merely rhetorical.

It's the guys in the suits, of course (or at least some of them). Another
possibility would be the original cast of "Soap".

If we allow suits to include local business attire and customary dress, the
ones in suits are all too often the ones who start the process of war. I
have a greater appreciation of your position than you believe. And I do
acknowledge the validity and importance of the distinction.

Good post. Many would agree. ;-)

because his personal behavior tainted Gore
and made it difficult for Gore to build off
his vice presidency or to involve Clinton
in the campaign.

Which boils down to Gore ran a terrible campaign. He came off second best in
the debates, and his "re-inventing" himself made him look like a dork.
Historically, he should have won the election, being the Veep of a successful
administration. But, he blew it.
