    GC - Re: Jonathan Luna & Tin Foil Hats

    CG, why did you bring up the Luna case? I sat up a little, recalled the case and googled to see if it had ever been solved.

    No.

    If the Eff Bee Eye can't solve a murder like Jonathan Luna's, what good are they?

    If I were paranoid (ha), I would suspect that there is a conspiracy of sorts behind the scenes, beginning to take shape with Obama's rumored appointments. Before I get all tin-foil-hatty on you, we should wait to see who really winds up in charge of what.

    I can't stand all the sturm and drang.

    If Obama appoints Brennan, there will be no longer any doubt that the agenda for this country is being dictated by a cadre of power interests and we are all screwed.

    Oh well, it was fun to imagine otherwise while it lasted.
