Deep Throat

There was an item on Newsnight last night; some researcher has come to the conclusion that Deep Throat, the unidentified whistle-blower in the Watergate case, was actually George H W Bush, GW's Dad.

It's something I considered just a few days ago. I'm of the opinion that its entirely plausible, but that there is little evidence either way. The journalist, Bob Woodward, isn't going to reveal his source until the source is dead. Will someone finish Bush off quickly, so we can find out?

S thought the name "Deep Throat" was quite rude. We'd seen a documentary about Linda Lovelace on Sunday night; she was known for a completely different sort of deep throat.

S and I going to a Tsunami fundraising cabaret at the Hackney Empire tonight. It looks like a load of circus acts, some 2nd rate comedians, a guitarist, and topping the bill, Rob Newman, Mark Thomas and the Blockheads.

BBC on TinaC
This is a man, playing female characters. The Ida Barr character is a former music hall star, refiving her career performing urban street sounds with a heavy leaning towards the concerns of pensioners. Tina C is trailer trash country singer. I saw Chris Green as Tina C in the comedy tent at Glasto last year. I think he was amusing, but I was tired, worn out and quite possibly not in my usual frame of mind.

Iraq has disappeared from our television news. Why? Are we supposed to believe that everything is hunky dory over there now?
By the way - there are much more interesting Blogs out there - try this, by someone in Iraq:
