i just read that “Montana’s

i just read that “Montana’s Libertarian candidate for Senate has turned blue from drinking a silver solution that he believed would protect him from disease. Stan Jones,a 63-year-old business consultant and part-time college instructor, said he started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics. He made his own concoction by electrically charging a couple of silver wires in a glass of water. His skin began turning blue-gray a year ago.” I’ve never seen better evidence that ‘survivalism’ isn’t.  if you really think we’ve screwed up so badly that the only way to survive is to distil your own eau de vie out of battery acid and old tooth fillings you deserve to turn blue, and to be heartily laughed at because of it.  Stan will be blue till he rots, at which point he’d make a good satellite dish.  ‘hon, hop bak up on the roof and readjust the libertarian, NASCAR’s comin’ in all fuzzy...’

The article fails to mention where, and what, the azure mr. Jones teaches, or the nature of the consultations he offers.  Further research reveals a superficially boring person who, on closer examination, is probably a spy, or ‘super spy.’ Put together the pieces - combat flight training, lifetime military, work in Iran, inpenetrable jobduties - this guy’s a spy.  Hell, I’d vote for a spy, even if he is blue.
