GAME ON!

As we know, Lin Wood has finally filed his lawsuit against CBS and their investigative team. I used to think this was going to be a slam dunk for Wood, since the allegations against Burke have no basis in fact. But now, thanks to some intriguing comments from resident legal expert, "Dog," things are starting to look more complicated. Apparently it's not enough to demonstrate that such allegations have no basis in fact, but also necessary to actually prove they are false, a very different matter, it would seem. The most thorough discussion of the case I've seen so far can be found in, of all places, the showbiz paper, Variety: JonBenet Ramsey’s Brother’s Defamation Lawsuit Against CBS May Hinge on Fact Vs. Opinion But I'm sure we'll see many more such treatments in the coming days and weeks.

Nut Case

And yes, the Ramsey case is also a nut case along very similar lines. You need to keep adjusting all the different pieces of the puzzle until the kernel of truth pops out.

And speaking of nuts, here's my favorite nutty squirrel video of all time:

See if you can figure out what's going on.

Sorry, but I can't resist adding one more squirrel video:

While this too is hilarious, it demonstrates how clever, and persistent, these little critters can be. If that squirrel can make its way to the bird feeder, then maybe there's some hope this case can eventually make it to court.

Hard Nut to Crack

What this nutty case needs: a Nutcracker.

Happy Holidays!!!!!

Going Nuts

From Dizzie to Louie. What more could one ask?

Comments, anyone?

Salt Peanuts

is what's in a nutshell.

Sorry, but I'm feeling a bit wacky today. More room for comments, so what the heck.

In a Nutshell

In response to the heavy dose of speculation we've been seeing, both here and in the media generally, I've decided to one more time present the essence of my thinking on this case. Before I begin I want to stress that my approach was originally prompted by a situation very similar to the one we are now facing, which hasn't changed much over 20 years: since just about all the "evidence" is inconclusive, literally every theory based on the evidence is, of necessity, speculative -- based on little more than amateur profiling bolstered by a host of unsubstantiated assumptions.

Leftovers, anyone?

Thanksgiving got too stuffed. Here's room for more . . .
