Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

Fitzmas Ends On Thanksgiving: Wilson and Plame Met With NYT Reporter Before "Bad Leaking" Began

They outed themselves, before Libby, before even Woodward's unknown source.

What will the claim be now? That there are "good outings," such as when a CIA agent decides she likes a reporter and thinks he'll help her advance her agenda, and "bad outings," like when other reporters find out and question the nepotism and incompetence going on here?

Wilson and Plame met with Kristoff (and his reporter wife) before Wilson even wrote his NYT Op-Ed piece.

Wilson and Plame outed Plame to Kristoff.

End of story.

The indictment must be withdrawn immediately. Unless Fitzgerald would now like to investigate Wilson and Plame for unauthorized disclosure of classified information.

NOTE: Due to unfathomable copy/paste commands on the computer I'm using, I can only type in the main URL for Generation Why? If the story isn't at the top of the page when you get there, just scroll down. It's worth it.

Fitzmas is Dead.

Long Live Thanksgiving!

Here's the Generation Why? link. It's simply amazing that folks thought that this wouldn't get out.

Back in July, I had put even odds on Wilson being the leaker, and gave Plame 4-1 odds. I guess I got it right.
