Well, it’s still a standoff in Egypt, El Baradei said “You’ve got 48 hours” and Mubarak seems to be calling his bluff, there are millions of angry people in the streets, and reporters are being arrested and interrogated which is horrible, of course, but I can’t help but giggle a little bit (Anderson Cooperish) at the thought of Anderson Cooper getting smacked in the head, if it had been Wolf Blitzer I would have considered it downright poetic justice but in any event, events on the ground are not likely to change before my deadline, so Egypt is on the backburner for tonight.
Back to Julian Assange and the Mystery of the Broken Condom, the one that made poor Julian’s Wiki leak, which just gives me an excuse to post this picture of it. I don’t know what the Swedish text means, but it sounds dirty. That’s one thing I love about the Swedish language. Everything sounds dirty. Probably, because whenever I hear the Swedish language I think of Swedish women and when I think of Swedish women I think dirty thoughts, but whatever. I think the condom looks like a grinning mole.
If It Doesn't Fit, You Must Acquit
It does raise a question in my mind, though: The sex allegations are from back in August. If either of the two girls had become impregnated or had picked up some sexual disease, they’d know it by now, wouldn’t they? So…..? So, the charges the one girl is left with is “his condom broke and then he went back for a free second ride, unsheathed, while I was sleeping. I didn’t really think too much about it until I found out he was shagging my girlfriend, too, which I suppose I should have figured out since he was staying in her flat” The other girl is left with the charge “I’m just here with my friend.”
It’s time for the U.S. government to stop pressuring the Swedish Government to pressure the British Government to harrass and intimidate Assange. He’s a journalist, and he’s done nothing illegal.
