I am just trying to imagine which comes first: shoot head, then tie on anchor, and jump; or tie on anchor, jump into water, then shoot...??? I suppose it could be done: tie on anchor, dangle it over the edge of the boat, stand up, pull the trigger while leaning overboard...still, not easy for an old guy whose was fatigued due to post-heart surgery, medications, and a "dimmed spirit".

The fun never stops
All righty, back to political blogging.


Not many days ago, while nursing a cola in a small restaurant overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, I decided to re-acquaint myself with the facts surrounding the strange demise of CIA analyst John Paisley, whose body was fished out of the Bay in 1978. Paisley -- who had ties to the JFK assassination, Watergate, and George H.W. Bush's "Team B" -- was found tied up and weighted down, with a bullet entrance behind his left ear. (He was right-handed.) The local authorities deemed the death a suicide.

Ah, those lovable funsters in the American intelligence community! Without them, what would we do for entertainment?

And the fun never stops...
