My uncle, Roger keeps up on current events and is also really smart (he owns his own comic book store and he's only 51!). Anyway, he wrote this piece for the local free paper. And they printed it! So i thought i would share it with you. I think it fits in perfectly with everything here on the post!

KARL ROVE'S WEB OF EVIL
Right from day one, Karl Rove cemented his link with the religious right, by being born on Dec 25, 1950, a day many on the right refer to as “Christmas," a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ (an influential leader worshiped by the religious right.) It was no surprise that Dec 25, 1950 was ALSO the same EXACT day Communist forces recrossed the 38th parallel into South Korea. Clearly, Rove was already making an impact.
"This is what he does," says one observer.
After an unremarkable stint in high school, Rove entered the University of Utah, which currently ranks FIFTH HIGHEST among the nation's campuses for drug-related arrests. Rove dropped out after a few years. What is more interesting: when you research other individuals who have dropped out of college, two names keep coming up.
Rush Limbaugh. Tucker Carlson.
Coincidence?
Rove began his political career with the College Republicans, an organization operating on college campuses with the expressed goal of extolling the virtues of the Republican party. Although not at his branch, or during his period of involvement, there was another well-known member of the College Republicans. His name was Lee Atwater.
Lee Atwater is dead.
Like Paul Wellstone.
Like Ron Brown.
Like John Tower.
The list could go on. All died in air crashes, with the exception of Lee Atwater. In Rove's world, the exception clearly proves the rule. And vice versa.
Rove chaired the College Republicans from 1973 to 1974. During the period, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were abducted from their fishing hole on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. It was also at that time that a UFO tried to to abduct a military helicopter while it was flying in the Ohio skies. Even more chilling, both events happened at the same time as the Yom Kippur War, when Egypt and Syria attacked Israeli occupied territories in the Sinai and Golan Heights.
This happened between the 6th and 22nd of October. But, we ask, where was Rove?
Everywhere.
And nowhere.
At the same time.
And at different times ,as well.
Rove continued to work for the Republican circles in very specific, but often vague, even mysterious posts. He was made conspicuous by his deliberate inconspicuousness. In 1979, he did some work on George H. W. Bush’s 1980 vice presidential bid. During Rove's involvement, there were EIGHT major plane crashes, including a Western Air Lines DC-10, which collided with a dumpster truck, killing 72 people in Mexico City at Benito Juarez Airport. One can only wonder what Rove was having for lunch.
A burrito?
A sizzling plate of fajitas?
"He likes his Mexican food," says one observer.
Rove's web of evil expanded through the 1980’s and 90’s, and it seemed, wherever Rove (or Karl, to his friends) would roam, tragedy would follow.
It was as though tragedy was his shadow.
Or his pet dog.
Or his pet dog...Shadow.
In 1981, Rove founded a consulting firm (named, in a brazen act of incrimination, after himself) in, of all places, Austin Texas. Soon after, the “Memorial Day Flood” hit Austin, drowning 13 people and causing 36 million dollars in damages...
36 million dollars...an identical sum needed to fund George Bush’s presidential campaign.
Naturally, Rove emerged unscathed, even refreshed, from the disaster.
Yet, the coincidences were piling up the way coincidences do: in neatly stacked piles outside Rove's house of lies. A house bought and paid for by coincidences. And lies.
In 1993, Rove began advising George w. Bush’s gubernatorial compaign. Almost immediately, United States Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall dies. Rove probably did a little Pirouette - not unlike something Rudolf Nureyev might have done, if he also hadn’t had died that year.
Rove had only been at it for a year, and already a black and a Russian had died.
Rove's favorite drink?
You guessed it: a Black Russian.
During that same year, Rove had visited Los Angeles on a number of occasions. But where, you ask, was he on Halloween? Good question. We’d ask River Phoenix, but he died, conveniently on that VERY day. Where did he die?
You guessed it: Los Angeles. The VERY same Los Angeles that Rove had visited on A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS.
You might guess the death of journeyman catcher Bo Diaz, crushed to death on his roof in his native Venezuela by a satellite dish, plays into this too. rove's partner in crime George W. Bush was the owner and president of the Texas Rangers at about the exact time. one can only imagine why Diaz had to go. One thing is for sure, he isn't talking.
Rove is now a Senior Advisor to the President and, no surprise, is at the center of yet another controversy. A reporter has accused Rove of being the source who leaked Valerie Plame's identity to a columnist. This accusation, oddly, was quickly followed in the news by an attack on Comet Tempel 1, hit by NASA's "copper bullet" from a nearby spacecraft. The reason the government gave for destroying the comet? "To create a crater for scientific study."
Right. We know better. Couldn’t the real reason for this senseless attack on an innocent piece of space refuse be to deflect attention away from Rove - and to focus it toward something else, high in the sky?
Clearly, this conspiracy goes higher than we even imagined. Much higher. To the top. Or maybe even higher than that. Really really high. Even higher than before.
and that brings us back to the center of this conspiracy. Ellen DeGeneres, and Anne Heche. think about what strong advocates ellen and anne would have been for the gay marriage. they would have been living proof that 'it works'! but then george bush is elected and mysteriously ann goes straight. only one person on the planet could have orchestrated this sequence of events....
