Nuttin' Wrong Here Ma'!!

I know that a lot of people think I wear my tinfoil hat 24/7/365. I'm happy for you, if you may be one of those people I will say to you, keep downing those Twinkies, trusting those in authority (they would never lie to you!), salivating while watching, what some call news, hoping the Bryl Cream coiffed robot shuts up so you can just get to what's really important!! SPORTS! And just being an all around good consumer! "Drink up! Happy hour is now enforced by law!"

I have a true story...

Last weekend, my lovely wife and I were out and about wasting some time. We happened to be driving East on Wabash a.k.a. McCausland. We headed under hwy. 44 at the River DePew, when my wife said something about there being a strange color coming from what she believed was said river. At the next available opportunity I had a brief glance. To my surprise the river was definitely in a state that was shocking, even for River Desperes. I whipped the car around and looked for a place to park. We got out of the car and both took out our cameras and started to shoot. I took 3 pictures and my wife took 3-5.So, what's so strange you say? What would make Angry stop, park, and photograph a miserable open pit sewer...Erh, sorry, river?! Well the river was somewhere between the color of human blood and maroon!! Not just a light tinge either. As far as the eye could see N.E. to S.W. was this strange site.

Returning home I sent some friends some of the pic's (yes Angry has friends, and not always angry with them either). It was suggested I contact someone in the news media, a person that a friend knew and had dealt with many times. So I did. After several days of on again off again exchanges it was off, officially. No they wouldn't do the story, it was explained, rather sheepishly I might add. So I sent them to the other corporate mouth-pieces known as our local news channels. None responded immediately. Someone known fairly well to most that peruse the morning news finally did. It was about my picture not coming through and to please resend. I graciously complied, and heard nothing for a couple of days, so I emailed back to see where the 'Story' stood. I was informed, before any investigation was done to my knowledge that it was probably MSD and their use of tracing dye. I heard nothing more until a friend called and asked if those were my pictures that showed up on the local morning newscast! He said it was a blurb about the River Desperes and some pic's. Nothing more...The less important fact here is that no one contacted me to say "Hey dummy! We're gonna run that story. or, Can we use those pic's? or, Better look out cause the Illuminati knows you know!"

The most important fact is that to my knowledge there has been no explanation!! Someone can correct me if I'm wrong with one big caveat... If that explanation involves MSD and there harmless 'dye', well you can save it and go back to watching "Goose-stepping With The Stars", or what ever mindless drivel you partake of. Tell you what. I'll let the reader be the judge if all of this is something that looks harmless. Trust me, I've seen these "dye tests" that MSD does and I've never seen anything like this. That would have to be a lot of Goddamn dye. Hope no one's eating Channel Cat or Carp.
