The war is over, or at least that's what my TV is telling me. That and "kill, kill, kill." Anyway, that means I can lay off the war coverage for a bit and focus on something a little happier...like this...

Journalism Professor Announces Identity of Deep Throat
Turns out a journalism professor at the University of Illinois named Bill Gaines announced at a press conference this week that he and a class of journalism students have finally found who they believe is Deep Throat.
For those of you who did way too many drugs in the seventies and can't even remember your own name let alone American History, Deep Throat was the nickname for Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's insider White House source, which provided them with information about the illegal spying, survelliance and sabotage campaign done by the Nixon Administration. It's also the name of a famous porno movie, which makes me wary of shaking Bob Woodward's hand if I were to ever meet him in person. Of course, I just accused him of being a porno addict so I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
Professor Gaines and his minions are absolutely certain that Deep Throat is a White House lawyer named Fred Fielding. According to their research, he was deep enough in Nixon's staff to know about everything that was going on since he was an assistant to John Dean, Nixon's chief counsel, but small enough not to be noticed by anyone in the president's organization. In other words, he's just like George Stephanopoulas. Clinton almost stepped on him a couple of times during his first term.
This is, of course, by no means the final word on the matter since Woodward vowed not to reveal Deep Throat's identity until they die or give him permission to be identified. But it cast a lot of doubt on previous speculations of Mr. Throat's identity including, believe it or not, Pat Buchanan who was a former speech writer for Nixon. Of course, it couldn't be Buchanan because Deep Throat never reported to Woodward that he supported Hitler or that homosexuals were "violating the laws of nature."
