To be Borked or to Become Poster Boy
Depticing Republicans as Truly Evil??
19JAN2001 Isn't it nice that our fellow man continues to give us daily doses of newsworthy random acts of bizzarness? wesamused! ...but that of course depends on what the meaning of "is" is or "was" was, Wes.
Day Four: John "The Unfair" Ashcroft confirmation news embargo, due to Jesse "Great Timing, Fellas" Jackson story. Also worth questionably honorable mention: Adios Clinton! Bush inauguration begins. Blackouts ordered in California. Lockerbie. Palestinian TV chief murdered by al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. Film at 11...
BTW, speaking of WWIII, ABC News (radio) ran a sound clip at about 2 or 3 ayem, just a day before Duh's inauguration of Duh declaring war on Saddam already. It ain't gonna be that easy. It seems that Britain and France and Saudi Arabia aren't so keen on participation in this upcoming round. Does that mean the US will have to go it alone, speaking of Taliban?
Last of the beat poets, Gregory Corso died today.
18JAN2001 Day Three: John Ashcroft cannot find a way into the "mainstream" where most of us hope to live our lives in relative peace. With the unrepentant or redeemable John Ashcroft confirmed, our hope to live our lives in relative peace is considerably diminished.
GEORGE H.W. BUSH-APRIL GLASPIE REVISITED
The failure of the United States to adopt energy conservation and alternatives to mideast oil as the fuel for our energy needs gives George "The Reaper" Bush a Glaspie green light into a Mideast War with more disastrous results than your average Cold War could ever imagine.
Try a Mideast War with the Islamic Republic of Iran mixed in. Add China. Add a non-Communist Russia. Add the likes of Taliban. All at once??
Peace is the most important thing. Maybe we should look at energy conservation and alternatives to mideast oil again.
California Energy Crisis
As a follow up to yesterday's "loner" nut-type who drove his truck up the steps of the California State Capitol; it turns out the guy didn't believe in anything. His backfired prank had nothing to do with the Bush selection, the McVeigh execution date, the Mideast War Anniversary or California's energy crisis. He accidentally killed himself when the diesel tanks scraping on the steps were ignited from the sparks between the tanks and the steps. His posthumous "excuse" was purely personal. He believed in nothing.
As for "rolling blackouts" and the like; those are just word-couplings to be included in next years Dictionary along with "dangling chads" and the like. We could have counted votes; i.e., votes that were counted. We could have plenty of energy if (acceptable) corruption were not part of the process. Complete, total and absolute deregulation of energy isn't looking as good as a complete, total and absolute nationalization (or localizing) of energy. The corporations should be bankrupted and bought out. The politicians who were responsible for the energy crisis in California, and in whatever other state a California-type energy crisis happens over the next weeks and months should also be booted out via the ballot box. Now all we have to do is figure a way to get the votes accurately counted.
War on Drugs up-date: Narco News reports Peru is signing on to Plan Colombia; with the help of $1.3 billion in mostly military aid from the United States, for the purpose of battling drug traffickers.
17JAN2001 Day Two: John Ashcroft grist for Philabuster. Party! Party! Party!
See! Hear! Ken Burns' Jazz on PBS Here! Now!
16JAN2001 In Day One of the John Ashcroft circus, he says he'll accept Row v. Wade because it's the law of the land...
Yesterday's news: http://www.ocnsignal.com/dxm11.htm
Today's news not yet written. Someone being written off as a "loner" nut-type made a turn down the street of
the California State Capitol in Sacramento, and then drove his truck up
the steps of the Capitol, where the contents of the truck trailers
(Sony Play Stations or powdered, condensed or evaporated milk) conveniently exploded.
Someone from the crowd yelled, "Where'd you get your drivers licence,
out of a Cracker Jacks box??"
It seems after the Ryder Truck incident in Oklahoma City, truck drivers are cutting though
the BS. Rather than get caught for a bombing, and going to trial and being found guilty and sentenced to death the way Timothy McVeigh did, the "loner" decided to save the taxpayer the cost of a trial. Interesting that McVeigh got an execution date today. Some time in May. Clinton could pardon him. I mean Clinton could pardon himself - which is where
we get, ala Steve Martin "Well, pardon meeeee!"
or
"Well, I beg my pardon; I never promised you a rose garden..."
And after the Carla Faye Tucker incident, George "The Reaper" Bush will have no mercy; he'll let the guy fry!
Is today the Anniversary of the Gulf War?
Which reminds me, there is a new drug out to get high with called (or
sounds like) di-ah-mox. It is prescribed to mountain climbers for use
when and where the air gets thin. It could be the new craze for people
who go out honky-tonkin'
Now that I think about it, Seattle was always a great town for honky-tonkin'
If you're reading this from Seattle, be careful!!
Shoot... if you're reading this from Sacramento, or Washington, D.C., be careful!
