I was just watching a documentary on the killing of JFK, and though it is mostly exploitive shmaltz, there was a short bit of footage of Oswald that has been replaying in my head. It is the part where he gets arraigned, and he comes out to a big crowd of reporters, one of who asks if he killed the president. There is a kind of close up of Oswald's face and he looks totally bewildered, saying it is th efirst time he has heard that question. Maybe that is just a lie, and there is no concpiracy and all, but there is something in his face that was sort of unsettling. he has this look on his face that he is just some idealogue totally caught out of his league. I suppose he might have killed JFK, though it doesn't seem likely, not because of the conflicting facts, but the odds seem against it from a ballistics perspective, since a policeman also got hit, though then again Reagan got shot at something like 19 times with exploding bullets by Hinkley and it managaged not to kill Reagan despite hitting him twice. And what are the chances of that? Elsewhere in the news, I have noticed an increased sense of gravity. I think this has to do with a NOVA I watched on the earth's magnetic field, an dhow it is about to reverse itself and we are all going to die from cancer. It is set to switch every 780,000 years, and reverse poles, so that the compasses of the world will point south. Only it takes a few thousand years to reverse, during which time everyone's going to die. And they have measurements that confirm that the switching has already begun. So you might as well enjoy a cannolli for lunch, because you are doomed as surely as I write these words. Doomed I tells you. Doomed.
