#1 A very interesting thing just took place, all within a couple of minutes. The title of this story as I have listed has just been changed "updated" to the following:

"Britain, Russia trade blame over poisoning of former spy"

#2 Well, it is Kansas.

#3 Actually, considering all the possibilities, the Brits don't have to have that particular nerve agent - all they have to do is lie about which agent was used. Of course, the idea of Her Majesty's government lying is hard to swallow.

#5 I know it is Sunday and quite early, but I do wish they'd get a bit more creative with their cover stories than...

#7 More from the Independent pointing to PD.

OK, cover-up makes some sense.

#8 You're really out on a limb with that #3, suggesting that a newly developed Russian neurotoxin extracted from the Vodka plant is NOT the agent responsible.

#9 I think you confuse vodka with mescal.

#10 The old Russian strategy:

In comments broadcast Sunday, Hillary told CNN that the White House is only a few miles away from the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Asked whether she was saying Trump was responsible for the murder of Seth Rich, she replied: "I don't know."

#11 An episode of CSI that involves the Seth Rich murder would be the worst episode ever. Murder happens, police declare it is a botched robbery. No one is interviewed. Surveillance footage not asked for, bartender not interviewed. The End.

Donna Brazile said after Seth Rich was killed, she kept the blinds down to protect from snipers, possibly Russian. LOL. The Russians break every rule of engagement to start a possible WWIII with us to kill a man who...according to the DNC, didn't leak any emails.

Personal protection from the melting rays of the sun and light of day, more likely.
