so i was in the the throes of my latest 24-hour illness, and i was awake. wide awake. two-cups-of-coffee awake. no combination of bed, blanket, pillow and mvp-of-the-super-bowl fantasy could get me to sleep. so i did the only thing you can do in such a situation:
i got up and watched tv.
a show called "unexplained mysteries: planet earth" was on, and it blew the lid off the UFO visitations of the late 1940s in southwestern america, and detailed the government's campaign of lies and imtimidation to keep this secret a secret.
and i thought to myself, "why is it that you never see these kinds of shows during prime time?" it's almost as if the feds are taunting the citizenry by telling all the truth about all the scandals, but only after 1 a.m. PST. the fbi and cia don't fear the insomniacs, because though we might know the truth, we'll probably fall asleep on the bus on the way to the newspaper ...
