The smoking link from the “Who is Tom Flocco?” thread directs me to the message:

Odd. I just clicked it and it seems to be working.

Pretty democratic site. Two for two.
Maybe an excerpt for we on the wrong side of the aisle.

I kind of liked Tom’s article, but the header of the web page should read…”The News of Tomorrow…Today”. I like the concept.

Interesting web site Billmon,
Were you just asking if anyone out here was aware of or knew something about it, the web site, or specifically, Tom Floco?
A less than brief perusel didn’t get me to any article on smoking.
It looks to me like a good reliable source of information and commentary. Only a first impression. I’ll follow it for a while.

I think its some how linked to Catherine Austin Fitts and Solari. Don’t know much about them but they appear a little loony.

Nice way to waste my time fauxreal, you plant.
Omflocco-tay could be a plant – ya never know these days til its too late. Somebody over at Rigorous Intuition posted a sound sounding argument that by law the prez can’t be indicted. He must first be impeached and thrown out of office by the congress.
So since the story is that Bush and Cheney (and others) have been indicted… it just doesn’t jibe. Seems to have gotten a lot of people excited though. Dunno what the legal basis is for indictment of VP.
I still have some hope.

No, no — that’s Sheep Journalish, a silly fake language invented by grade schoolers. Very few journalists are smart enough to understand it.

You’re welcome, rapt. I aim to please.
But I still haven’t figured out what kind of plant I am…Venus Flytrap? Definitely not a Voodoo Lily. (that link is courtesy of beq, grower of odd plants.) Maybe I could be an herb. If I were an herb I could smoke myself. But then I couldn’t go to heaven.
*WARNING* totally worthless and superfluous post *WARNING*
(except for the link to Geraint Watkins’ music samples)
