Cover-up artist Henry Kissinger will head "independant" investigation into possible 9/11 cover-up. It's like putting a wolf in charge of security of a hen-house. Or George Bush in charge of a grade school English class....
Acid attacks sour US passion for 4x4s. The Earth Liberation Front is attacking SUVs in Virginia.

American kids flunk geography, survey finds. In questions dealing with current events and geography, Yanks couldn't find their ass with a map and a compass. And it brings to mind the case of the old couple who were raided and the husband killed by drug cops who had the wrong house, only, imagine it as the wrong country and bombs. Sure, it seems outrageous and far-fetched...until it happens, that is...
Pageant one ugly mess. Miss Canada decided "Fuck this noise!" and split from Nigeria. Four hours later, the Miss World pageant organizers decided the same thing, and rescheduled the event for December 7th in London. But, since Miss Canada jumped the gun, she's banned from the London show. I know...I know...who cares?
Hopefully, there'll be a bunch of protestors in London to freak them all out, too.

WAR, WHATEVER. The US is planning to invade Iraq, no matter what the weapons inspectors find. Everyone already knew this, but now a top Bush security advisor has admitted it.
Dear gods, make it stop....Live action, CGI Garfield flick is in the works.
The Making of a Comeback. Could Al Gore run again? He's been talking more honestly, minus spin doctoring. And that's how he says he'd run his next campaign. Which, he sort of should have done in the first place. In a way, he's acknowledging that there was no perceived difference between he and Bush. Now, he says that the Democrats have to get their shit together. And, with a moron in the White House, it should be easy. But, the November elections should have been easy, too. Yet, it was the Democrats who were on the defensive, when it should have been the Republicans. And, I'm sure lots of voters just looked at that and thought, "what a bunch of wimps". Go for the jugular....I mean, jesus....!
Bush a moron, but we can't say that publicly. Liberal communications minister Françoise Ducros said that Junior was using the NATO conference as an oportunity to drum up support for his Iraq invasion and called him a moron, in a private conversation that was overheard by some ambitious journalist from the Post. The Canadian Alliance have called for her termination, because, well, that's what they do. But, even the White House don't want to make a big deal out of it, perhaps because they don't wish to have a spotlight on the association between the words "President Bush" and "moron".
Nigeria rioters say Mohammed would never endorse the beauty pageant. 100 dead. Muslims say the pageant is immoral and degrading to women. Christians don't. They think it's okay. So, Muslim protestors have started riots, killed Christians and burned buildings. Will beauty pageants be blamed for inciting violence the way movies and music is?

I'm a bit behind, sometimes. I just got Lemon Jelly: lemonjelly.ky, which is just amazing and wonderful. I hadn't head them before, but Amon Tobin did a mix of "In the Bath" at his recent Phoenix show which was most cool. So, I got the CD. It's good and yummy.
9/11 widow isn't accepting White House payoff. She's suing in an attempt to get to the truth about the attacks. There are still too many unanswered questions. The independant investigation has been approved. But, the Bushites have shown a great deal of reluctance in revealing information about certain things.
A lone voice in the wilderness of Israeli war mongers...Amram Mitzna may lead the Labour Party on a radical peace agenda in the upcoming elections. He's embracing the pre-Bush concept of negotiating with Arafat. You can be sure to expect a lot of flack and tactics aimed at attacking his credibility.

The Campaign for No More AOL cds. Send your AOL cds to these guys. Once they have a million, they'll deliver them back to AOL, arriving on their doorstep proclaiming, "You've got mail! Now, please stop sending us this crap!" They have 88,461 cds so far...
Apparently, those easily amused can view Nihilist Propaganda, or indeed, any web page, via The T'inator, a Mr. T verbalizer.

Jeffrey Jones and Pee Wee in child porn ring.
Vonnegut Speech Could Be His Last. He's 80, now, so, he could die real soon. What's interesting, sort of, about this is that in his last novel, Timequake (which was brilliant and one of his best ever) he did predict he'd still be around now. And, he is. But he says he's not writing much, now. At least, nothing publishable. Of course, that could all change after he dies and some agent or publishing company plunders his notebooks and harddrive...
Bush administration to offer $5 million reward to disrupt terrorist finances. But, as many people called with information on how the American government finances terrorism, they had to reword their offer, and now specifically state that the reward is for information on terrorist organizations that target the United States and not terrorist organizations or states that are funded by the United States...

Powell tries to soothe hard feelings over border arrests of Canadians. One guy was deported to Syria when switching planes in NY to return to Canada, and another was arrested while getting gas in Maine because he had a hunting rifle and had been arrested previously for vandalism.
Bush's vision: Everyone's a Suspect. The fascist aphorism, "If you're innocent, you've got nothing to hide" will be obsolete. Hiding anything won't be an option.
Noam Chomsky's at Hamilton Place tonight! He's been in Hamilton all week, actually. But, the lecture tonight is sold out. And I'm not sure of if there'll be scalpers there or not...

Israelis seize West Bank town, which is in violation of various UN Resolutions. No one threatened to invade and disarm them, though.
Bin Laden threatens Canada, which is what one might expect after a country helps Bush destroy another country. Oh, wait...sorry...the terrorists have no rational for their actions, they're just pure evil. I forgot.
Fortunately, the CN Tower is much narrower than the World Trade Center was, so maybe they'll miss...
There's a temporary setback for Bush's Invasion of Iraq. Iraq Accepts U.N. Plan. Now, Bush will probably have some operatives on the weapons inspection team that'll go there cause some trouble or blatantly spy on them again so that the only reaction that Iraq can have will be to kick them out again, thereby giving George the excuse he needs to launch his attack.

Where the hell's the blogging been?
I've been playing DS9 The Fallen quite a bit. It's really very addictive. It's a cool game even if you're not into Star Trek. You play each level out as Sisko, Kira and Worf, from each of their perspectives and some of them are in completely different areas, like two are on the planet's surface while the third defends the Defiant from invasion. There's a lot of variety and the atmosphere is really cool. There's a bunch of different weapons, but I find that the basic phaser is the most effective, since it recharges automatically. Except it runs out of juice in a big firefight. But, it's great for stealth missions. I just had Sisko escape from a Jem Haddar prison, which was tense and am currently trying to get Kira out, but she's run into heavy resistence. I highly recommend this game. If you're a Trekkie, you probably already have it. But, if you just like Star Trek or just don't mind it or like sci-fi in general, you'll dig this game. It's a third person Unreal engine game. The play is smooth and the graphics are pretty damn good. Play with headphones to freak yourself out...
Order it here, it's cheap:
Windows or Mac.
Here's a Hulk action figure prototype, which is supposed to give us an idea of what the movie Hulk will look like. Hopefully he'll not have two right feet, though...and the joints will probably look better....

Hey, there's a cool new trailer for the DAREDEVIL movie. Gritty action and "How do you kill a man without fear?"
Reading Michael Moore, who suggests that blacks could have fun by placing "Whites Only" signs in appropriate places. Well, evidently, placing one at every border crossing from Canada to George Bush's America would be very appropriate, as any Canadian citizens with brown skin are being told that they're not welcome to the country as they're fingerprinted and photographed and interrogated.
Winona Guilty! But, she'll probably get community service or something, not jail time. So, she can keep making charming movies with people like Adam Sandler or whoever.

Meet the Anti-Sex in the City Superhero. Terrifica prowls the streets of New York, rescuing women from would-be seducers, like Fantastico....
Nope...the morning doesn't look any better...Clinton Erased - The story of the election: Democrats have no story. The Dems have only themselves to blame. Bush gave them plenty of ammunition to use in the election, but they mostly cowarded in the face of anti-patriotism inuendo from the fascists in charge. Now, Bush can hammer through his tax cuts for the rich, maybe turn over Roe vs. Wade, get evolution out of the schools, cut funding to all sorts of social programs, drill for oil everywhere, help his friends pollute even more, bomb whoever he wants, draft all you sorry bastards who voted Republican for war, and just generally make the world an even scarier and greedier place than it already is.
Under a Democrat President, the US had peace and prosperity, for the most part. Under George II, poverty and war. But, the Dems seemed totally incompetant in getting the message out. And they can't blame the Green Party this time. The GP got almost no votes, not enough to have made a difference in any races.
The only positive thing about this is that the US will be in such a profoundly dismal state by the 2004 presidential election that it should be relatively easy to get rid of the oil guys in the White House. That is, unless Bush finds a way to outlaw elections by then. Or some kind of widespread rioting and open revolt occurs. Or nucular war...
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush wins re-election, thanks to visits from other Bushes and the 92000 blacklisted voters...
According to CNN.com Election 2002, you guys are all fucked for the next two years. It looks like the Repugs have gained control of everything. What the hell is wrong with Americans? Don't you people pay attention?
Of course, it's the rest of the world that'll pay for your stupidity as well, since Junior, the thrice arrested, alcoholic, illiterate cokehead for Jesus will have all the support he needs to do whatever the hell he wants.
But...it's still early. Maybe things'll look better in the morning...

By the way, there's new products in the store...
Saddam gives rare interview. Q: Is Iraq ready for war?
A: They've been bombing us and killing civilians daily since 1991. What do you think?
Israel to hold crisis elections in February. But, until then, an ultra-right nationalist hardliner coalition government rules.
O.J.'s lawyer slams Canada. For some reason, Alan Dershowitz gave a news conference in Toronto where he said that Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham's comments that Hezbollah was a political organization were dangerous and wrong. Dershowitz compared Hezbollah to the Nazi party, saying that while its membership may, as Graham said, include doctors and lawyers, it also includes "people who kill babies and women." But, then again, so does the American government...

94000 black voters who were put on a banned voters list in Florida to help get George Junior selected as president are still banned from voting.

Winona trial update. Guard vowed to 'nail' Ryder for theft. A former employee claimed that the head rent-a-cop said he was manufacturing evidence to get "that rich bitch".
Harvey Pitt to Investigate himself.
Just when you thought it was safe to breathe...Killer flu 'on the way'. Drug companies in Europe are looking forward to record profits this winter and new vaccines to help further mutate the flu virus.
Calm down, folks. Take a pill. Use of anti-depressants up 40%. The government and media's campaign to keep people anxious and tense is a profound success. It's also a boon for the drug corporations.

Ralph Nader's Open Letter to the Democratic Party.
Dirty Republican Electioneering...Since the GOP fear the black vote in some states will vote Democrat, and realizing that they themselves have nothing to offer them, the white militant christian party is attempting to portray the Dems as racist and encouraging blacks not to vote.
Thought Crimes 2002.
International Observers Sent to Monitor American Elections. Specifically Florida. They want to see if they've made any improvements to their seriously flawed system.
