So that's why the Borodin.........
In the old Soviet times, you could tell when something bad was happening in the Politburo ... a dead leader, an internal coup, whatever ... because Radio Moscow would cease regular programming and play only dark heavy music. I called it the Borodin Effect.
I've been sensing a Borodin in American media lately; too much focus on the greasy fucking pelicans, too much bubbling of the BP aquarium. Even by the anti-journalism rules of CNN and Fox, the BP story has continued way beyond any element of novelty.
Here's a likely candidate for the Politburo problems: Gore accused of sexual attack.
Wish I could say "Told you so!" but I can't. This one caught me off guard. Gore is a criminal monstrosity, but I truly couldn't picture his insane violent impulses running anywhere near the sexual realm. He struck me as the classic puritan with all sexuality channeled into genocide, gluttony, greed and raw power.
Bless those tabloids. They carry a fair amount of celebrity nonsense, but they're the only remaining source for real news, for events that Tass and Pravda completely refuse to mention. ¶ 2:22 PM
