  • An article in The American Conservative suggests an alternate universe explanation for some of the pronouncements of the Bush Administration. Or maybe they're just a bunch of ignorant, lying bastards.
  • How the CIA used an unmade film of Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light to help sneak six Americans out of revolutionary Iran.
  • Kryptonite exists!

    Kryptonite is discovered, and at about the same time an extrasolar planet, possibly capable of sustaining life, is discovered, but with higher gravity than Earth, and orbiting a red sun. Coincidience? I don't think so.

    Um, "kryptonite" discovered in the same week it is established that the planet Krypton was never blown to smithereens after all? Something not right there.

    OTOH, at the London Dungeon, they have the skull of Shakespeare, and next to it the skull of Shakespeare as a boy.

    I really like the alternate world thing. Very plausible!

    The "Lord of Light" thing has been on line before, can't remember where. And to me it isn't Kryptonite if it doesn't glow green...

    Obviously this other world is in a sorry state and could stand some saving.

    And I'm sure the last para of the alternate worlds thing is right out of a Star Trek plot, or two.
