loony shit sweepstakes

I'll send $5 to the first person who finds me to a print (non-blog) media source that hints, speculates, or outright states that obama (or his people) was somehow behind the shooting of that dude in arkansas.

I'll send a mix CD of moderately subversive music to anyone who finds same from a major MSM source.

[ms-violet.livejournal.com]

never mind. googled "shooting+arkansas." I had this confused with the shooting in Knoxville. but for that I blame Annie.

Oh, I'm waiting for the speculation that the Clintons were behind it. That's far more likely.

Welcome back, btw.

he was a friend of the clintons and a super-delegate for hillary.

that'll probably be cited as obama's motive.

Are you on iChat or AIM? Seattle bidness at hand.

How about Russian state radio asserting that Dick Cheney is behind the conflict in South Ossetia as part of a plot to keep Obama from being elected (Timesonline)?

It's pretty weak, especially wrt Dick Cheney, but this is more than a little discomforting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/12/AR2008081202932.html

"For months while McCain's presidential campaign was gearing up, Scheunemann held dual roles, advising the candidate on foreign policy while working as Georgia's lobbyist. Between Jan. 1, 2007, and May 15, 2008, the campaign paid Scheunemann nearly $70,000 to provide foreign policy advice. During the same period, the government of Georgia paid his firm $290,000 in lobbying fees.

Since 2004, Orion has collected $800,000 from the government of Georgia.

Rogers said Orion's representation of Georgia had no bearing on McCain's decision to speak with Saakashvili in April. "The Embassy of Georgia requested the call because of Georgian concerns over recent Russian actions dealing with South Ossetia and Abkhazia," he said.

McCain has said that he has worked closely with Georgia and its top officials since the mid-1990s. On the campaign trail yesterday, McCain referred to Saakashvili as a close friend."
