Ok, so the title is definitely an inside joke, but what I truly speak of is, of course, the Bhutto assassination. It won't come out immediately. It won't even come out before around 10 years pass and the revelation is a footnote in the "international" section of our papers' 10th page. But it will out. Bhutto's death has inside job written on it like an epitaph. And I will go further than people who think her email to "blame Musharaff" deals with his lack of action in giving her security detail and at some level "allowing" extremists to off her. Perhaps it wasn't the president himself, but at some level of his administration, there was involvement. Think: while Musharaff nobly offered to "share" power with her, who believed this from the man who shut off the press, civil liberties, attorneys? And would this not be an ostensible effort to paint a (throughly undeserved) picture of innocence amongst his regime? Not only do these suspicious factors exist, but wouldn't a show of shock and angst over the murder allow Musharaff himself what he wanted: an excuse to further grasp at power with the obvious excuse of maintaining order and destroying "the people who killed Bhutto". Someone, somewhere, cut a deal. Nevertheless, I will admit that my assumption is flawed in displaying the type of conspiracy-minded thinking that attributes uncertainties and the random, senseless acts of individuals to far-reaching forces that truly do not exist, as Penne Gillett eloquently stated of the so-called 911 "truthers" on Glenn Beck last night (Glenn himself annoys me, his guests do not). Yet, knowing a fair amount of history makes the connection of intrigue to logical for me to currently resist.
On a lighter note, why the HELL do northerners like cakey donuts? (I am speaking of Dunkin Donuts and their ilk). We all know the gooey glazed of Krispy Kreme that I enjoyed this morning is far, far superior. Even glamorous New York Carrie Bradshaw couldn't disagree :).
Speaking of Bradshaw, I AM looking forward to the Sex and the City movie, I don't care if anyone thinks I am frivolously feminine because of it! I do not think the show was a feminist masterpiece, or even feminist in the least, like some, but the characters are hilarious and I don't watch many girly movies so I'm not a stereotype so there!!! Most of us need a little escapism, and watching women live lives far more glamorous than any of us will experience is sheer joy. I only wish I could have followed it on TV. I wish I could follow ANY show on TV. I work too hard, I need to quit that. Nonetheless, there has always been a bit of the loser-y element to having nothing better to do that sit around and wait for a tv show, at least from my perspective, so maybe I am undermining any televised undertaking subconciously with the mindset that I should be socializing, drinking, dancing, living the glamorous life instead of watching it. But sometimes, watching it is better! Or maybe I am exhibiting a Puritan aspect on the other hand -- I "should" be studying, cleaning, doing something "useful". When I've worked hard, or had a bad day, I can lay down and TV away sans-guilt.
Speaking of guilt, I've just made up fior my holiday lack of blogging. So long!
