Litvinenko Investigation update

Key Witness Denies Part in Spy Poisoning refers to innocent businessman Andrei Lugovoi who met with Litvinenko on November 1 in London.

Now Kovtun, a player who some believe should be treated by Brit police as a suspect, not as a witness--and who should be then extradited from Russia (good luck with that)--is suggesting the poisoning may actually have taken place not on Nov 1 but earlier--say...perhaps mid-October when the FSB/KGB-ers also met.

The trail of radiation left around Hamburg, Germany and on the Kovtun-laden airplane which the Russian govenment won't allow to be investigated by the Brits is quite a finger of guilt pointing at Kovtun. Now who do you think wouldn't want him to spill what beans?

Senator Johnson stable condition

Seems Mr.A.Cat and Lim over at Lim's Limericks can put their worst fears to rest for S.D. Sen Johnson in Critical Condition but recovering from surgery due to a congenital brain malformation.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Senator!

Washington DC in December

UPDATE on Senator Johnson 11:30 pm: South Dakota senator hospitalized has the tidbit that Senator Johnson did not have a stroke or a heart attack.

Hmm-m-m...then just what did he have? A cup of tea?

Don't ask Lim or Mr.A.Cat unless you're immune to the pithy limericks at Lim's Limericks where you'll find Cat Spies Revealed...quite shocking!

The Hour Grows Late:

Tic toc tic toc...as Bush gives getting out of Iraq some careful thought--totally unlike when he insisted on taking us in. And the press, as usual, is letting us down covering this charade as if Bush is "listening" to all these "ideas" he has no intention of following...he's incapable of that as well.


And from earlier today...


Weighty matters here at Stars Over Washington including Democratic Senators like Senator Johnson who suddenly conk out with strokes at a most convenient time for the GOP (and when Bush, Cheney, and Rove are on the ropes) and looking at Johnson's natal chart (Dec 28 1946, Canton, SD) and the noon chart for today's trip to GWU Hospital have led me to a lighter DC note...

...a wonderful article on Gather.com from DC resident Roshani Kothari Explore DC in a Weekend where you'll find links galore to all manner of entertainment, restaurants, hotels, and the sights in our Capital City.

From hot apple cider at the Eastern Market to the affordable, historic Tabard Inn in Dupont Circle, this article is a great compilation of DC links and points of interest...there's even a link to the Metro website with maps and schedules.

Makes me long for Rock Creek Park which is also on the article's links list. You can have a virtual visit even if you're not popping into DC for a Holiday Weekend!
