The allegation:  that members of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) supported the sales of cocaine to fund a secret Central American army as part of the Iran-Contra scandal.

The Players:

1. "Freeway" Ricky Ross: the multimillionaire crack king fall guy.  First, sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, he's due to be released later this year.
2. Danilo Blandon: the insider.  Supplied cocaine to Ricky Ross, sentenced to three years in jail, then landed a job with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
3. John Kerry: the senator.  After a senate investigation he's still adamant the CIA owes an explanation to the citizens of South Central Los Angeles.
4. John M.Deutch: Director of the CIA.  After publicly denying any drug trafficking by the CIA, he was pardoned by President Clinton on Clinton's final day in the oval office.
5. Gary Webb: the Journalist. He committed "suicide" in 2004 after winning a Pulitzer Prize for uncovering this story.

My secret ambition was always

My secret ambition was always to provide music for animation films: something with an Indian theme, either a fairy tale or mythological tale or on the Krishna theme. I still have a very deep desire, but these sorts of chances don't always come. - Ravi Shankar

Ees Uoy Nac Yas Ho

If we had a meter to measure how Goonies-ish each post was, this post would be a 6.4.  Data, we want to make you proud.

I vote that we vote on what to do with goonies.com.  Here are two ideas:

One- we use goonies.com to help us make a new island country inspired by the movie the goonies.  We get to make all the rules.  Rule One:  Anyone can be a police officer for one day.  You a get a squirt gun and you can squirt anyone that you think is is breaking one of your laws.  Yes you make the laws as you go.  Are they eating to much?  Talking too loudly?  Are you suspicious that the guy in the corner that farted?  Soak him!  Watch out though, tomorrow you have turn in your gun and someone else will be in charge, so be fair. 

Two- we turn goonies into a mock
polytheistic religion.  Each cast member of The Goonies (the Movie) becomes one of our gods.  We sacrifice our posts in their honor.  Great scenes from movies would be sacrificed to Sloth.  Chunk would get news about food and recipes.  Data- science and engineering.  You get the idea.

Either way, or some way else, this video rocks.  Try to figure out what song is playing before 1/2 way through the clip.

Cheers,

Acirema
