he died this morning
public figureheads are dropping like flies recently…How bizarre. Isn’t it interesting how we seem to adulate our un-elected figure heads like the pope, queen mum etc. Yet have nothing but bucketloads of apathy towards our elected officials…

elected officials?!?
oh yeah, u’re in the UK, sorry, i forgot
the UK ain’t all that groovy baby.I read Yesterday that 6 Labour party officials have been prosecuted for vote rigging on pretty massive scale. They fiddled the postal voting system which had been designed so badly it was just asking to be done by some unscrupulous so and so. People were being threatened and bribed for their voting forms. A vote rigging “factory” was even found.
I can’t seem to find the article I read yesterday and I’m a little late for work but here’s an older article about the beginnings of the trial.
hold on there was a topic here somewhere…errr. Oh yeah poor old Rainier.

Suicide doesn’t count
"There are two rules for a proper celebrity death-trio:
- The three deaths must be close to each other: generally less than a month from the first to the last.
- The three celebrities must be somehow equivalently famous or otherwise linked.
The second rule is most interesting. In many cases, the linkage is obscure. But as the cosmos hands us these death-trios, we can learn significant Truths about culture, human psychology, and the gestalt of history when we seek to interpret these linkages. "
