187. So-Do-Mee

You betcha. That used to be the buzzword on everyone's lips. Now it deserves nothing more than a passing glance and, on good days, a good old fashioned roll-of-the-eyes. Too predictable that one. Everyone could see it coming. Why can't people be more creative sometimes. Surely there are better ways to ruin (for a second time) a one's reputation other than creating lurid tales of secret rendezvous's at condominiums and physical re-enactments of the dirty deed for all to see.

Now, if you really were creative, and you really wanted to make sure you annihilated one's reputation completely, why don't you just create something that involves sex, money, murder and of course, an elaborate conspiracy involving the highest echelons of the powers-that-be to cover it up? Yeah, that should do it. Have the murder be performed in extremely vile and explosive (literally) circumstances. Then, the investigation should lead right to the top, and of course this should be ensued by a cover-up so devious and Machiavellian in nature that the actual perpetrator(s) are let off scott-free with patsies (whose faces are never revealed) taking the fire for the murder. Of course the one person responsible denies all involvement, but the stink of it will follow him till his dying day.

Now, that would be something else, wouldn't it? Eh? Eh?
