When one of those who rule America commits rape murder we can count on publishers and major media to start floating articles questioning whether j-walking occurred. Now we see that Bush aides fed the author for FORTUNATE SON, a vaccination book that immunized the public from understanding the real George Bush drug past by providing a very weakened version of the true virus. Sherman, this looks like the kind of event you like to cover.
