Synchronicity

Just about  three or four days ago my son and I were joking about Julian Assange.

More specifically, we were finding it amusing that he was probably a really annoying house guest for the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.

Turns out he really was. Basically, he was a spoiled child and a titanic a*****e.

A couple of additional observations.

He was wanted in Sweden for a charge of rape, but the accusations against him in the US would only subject him to five years in the pen, assuming he got the full sentence.  The charge in Sweden has expired due to some oddball interview deadline that Swedish law has, but after spending seven years in the Equadorian Embassy, which is not large, he's exposed to five in the US.

You have to wonder about the wisdom of his decision there.

Secondly, Pamela Anderson. . . you know, the girl from Bay Watch (which I've never seen) and the early years of Home Improvement, is Assange's girl friend.

Anderson is a pathetic case in her own right.  She went to being cute, with minimal talents, to being plastic and in my view creepy. Assange is also creepy.

Well one more item of weirdness to be featured in the papers, in the Age of Weirdness.
