The angels are weeping. . .

The angels are weeping today, for Benazir Bhutto, her family, and Pakistan itself, and for the six members of the Anderson family of Carnation, Washington (near Seattle), who were gunned down on Christmas Eve by their daughter/sister/aunt and her boyfriend

"They were my family, too, you know?" Joe McEnroe told a Seattle Times reporter in a jailhouse interview. He may face death for the Carnation slayings.



And the angels weep for Benazir Bhutto, who was not perfect, but who had become a sort of JFK-figure of hope/beacon of light to the mess that is Pakistan.

27 years ago today, John Lennon was assassinated



John Lennon was assassinated by a deranged fan outside his home 27 years ago today. We lived in the neighborhood at the time, and could hear the sirens. I was listening to Vin Skelsa that night on WNEW when he broke in in tears, to tell us the news about his friend. Lennon had just released Double Fantasy (his best record in years) two weeks earlier. It was an incredibly depressing time, especially in New York City. Hostages were being held in Tehran, Jimmy Carter had just been trounced in the election, and Ronald Regan would be sworn in as President in a few weeks. For months fans gathered across the street from The Dakota, in what would become Strawberry Fields in Central Park.

A request of all serial and parallel killers—get right to the denouement

Attention to serial and parallel killers. It would be nice if, in the future, you just skipped the killing innocent people part and got right to the suicide phase. Follow your leader!

Seung-Hui Cho took time to make a video DVD and Express Mail it in between killings










Among the materials released this afternoon were the contents of a DVD with 27 QuickTime video files, totaling about 10 minutes, showing Cho talking directly to the camera. mentions "hedonism" and Christianity, and talks at length about his hatred of the rich.


I just heard about a minute of the Cho audio on KIRO 710 AM. This guy is even more twisted than you might think. Some links:
