Deep Throat (Not the porn)...
The answer to one of the biggest mysteries from before we were born was revealed a couple of days ago. In case you don't know, here is the story.
In the 1970s Richard Nixon was using the FBI and CIA to spy on the candidate that would run against him in the next election. One thing that they did was break into the building where the Democratic National Committee's headquarters was in. Now, I am not one of those innocent fools who believes that Richard Nixon was the only one to have ever done this. I'm sure Presidential candidates have dug up dirt on their opponents by legal and illegal means before and after Nixon up to and including the candidates of this last election and the prospective candidates of 2008 (this means you Hillary). But I am not one of those guilty fools that believes that because everyone does it we should excuse anyone caught doing it. Nixon's people got caught. This led to an investigation by the press and finally to Nixon's resignation. One of the sources that helped The Washington Post find out what happened was this guy who was only reffered to as Deep Throat. He was the guy who would forever be referenced whenever a character gives information in a dark parking lot, like when Mr. Smithers gave Bart and Lisa information on Sideshow Bob in one episode of the Simpsons. Anyway two days ago, Mark Felt, the then number 2 guy in the FBI, came out and said "I am the guy they call Deep Throat".
I say good for him. He deserves a pat on the back. Any time anyone blows the whistle on the illegal goings on of any entity, especially if they have power, we should admire them. And of course some major players in the republican party are saying that this guy is not a hero but a traitor. These are the people in power now. God help us all.
P.S. If you want to learn more about what happened in Watergate here is the link to the wikipedia article

and if you don't know what wikipedia is yet then you should know that it is a free open source encyclopedia.
