A review of events for the final week of November 2012.

Today is Monday, December 3, 2012, which means the planetary alignment over the Great Pyramids at Giza will have happened by now, though perhaps not in the form that some expected. With one alignment passed, and another always in the waiting, we once more rechart our positions by surveying the week that was:
- The news that every outlet is reporting on, once more, in summary: Castle Crumpindale was destroyed in a bombing this week, an attack that caused the deaths of twenty-three people and injuries to eighty others, in addition to property damages in excess of two hundred million dollars. It is being called the worst terrorist attack since the July 9, 2009 bombing of the Ellon Building. In response to the attacks, the U.S. military has carried out over a dozen new drone strikes against suspected culprits in three countries, killing fifty-nine militants in Pakistan, Ijackestan, and in the Uglavarian border region. Thus far, no groups have claimed direct responsibility, but the government is attributing the responsibility to Al Anetqam, vowing to destroy the organization and their allies by any means at their disposal. There are numerous reports in the press that unnamed suspects have been taken into custody, or have been killed in targeted strikes, but there have been no official confirmations to date.
- Is Washington A.C. sinking? A new study from a consortium of climate and geologic researchers is indicating that the recently surfaced island-state is now returning to the sea, a consequence of an oceanic rising that is some 60 percent faster than the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted five years ago. As sea levels rise, the coast and interior of Washington A.C. is being quickly worn away, and it is expected that the bulk of the island will be washed out no later than 2020. The study was fiercely rebuked by A.C. governor Gary Kling, who called it fear-mongering, malicious, and "just more evidence of the liberal agenda against the free settlers of [his] great state".
- More reports of the Shit Ghost this week as some enterprising ghost hunters have recorded what they claim are "serenades from the sewer". The more popular MeTube shakey mobile-phone videos and dull, distant recordings of singing, widely available online, are being debunked by skeptical bodies almost as soon as they are posted, most of the encounters now being chalked up to mistaken identity and gas exposure. Do you believe in the Shit Ghost? Have you encountered this being? Or is it all a lot of rubbish? Share your perspective with us in the comments.
- Strange & Dreck, publishers of Nat Brennings's forthcoming book, "Worse Than Hitler and The BTK Strangler: President Liberal's Satanic Plans for Your Children", are reporting massive pre-orders and boasting it is now the most demanded title they have ever solicited, numbers so high as to virtually guarantee it will dominate the best-seller lists when it is shipped. Are you one of the pre-orderers? Will you be buying a copy? Stealing one? Or does such hogwash merely turn your stomach and make you question the future of America? Let us know in the comments.
And so went the week In Infictive. Is that really thirty-one of these things? Ye-gads.
