"President Bush said this Iraq situation looks like 'the rerun of a bad movie.' Well sure, there's a Bush in the White House, the economy's going to hell, we're going to war over oil. I've seen this movie, haven't I?" -- Jay Leno
"President Bush has said that he does not need approval from the UN to wage war, and I'm thinking, well, hell, he didn't need the approval of the American voters to become president, either." -- David Letterman
"In a speech earlier today President Bush said if Iraq gets rid of Saddam Hussein, he will help the Iraqi people with food, medicine, supplies, housing, education -- anything that's needed. Isn't that amazing? He finally comes up with a domestic agenda -- and it's for Iraq. Maybe we could bring that here if it works out." -- Jay Leno
"Democrats were quick to point out that President Bush's budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit. The White House quickly responded with 'Hey, look over there, it's Saddam Hussein.'" -- Craig Kilborn
"We have it. The smoking gun. The evidence. The potential weapon of mass destruction we have been looking for as our pretext of invading Iraq. There's just one problem -- it's in North Korea." -- Jon Stewart
"War continues in Iraq. They're calling it Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were going to call it Operation Iraqi Liberation until they realized that spells 'OIL.'" -- Jay Leno
"Many of our soldiers are stationed at Camp Coyote just south of the Iraqi border. This is how you know we have a strong army, when you can actually tell your enemy exactly where your camp is and what its name is." -- Jon Stewart
"The Pentagon still has not given a name to the Iraqi war. Somehow 'Operation Re-elect Bush' doesn't seem to be popular." -- Jay Leno
"The president boasted at the top of his press conference that we have the support now of Britain and Spain for our attack on Iraq. You know, when you want to make it perfectly clear to the world that you're not an imperialist, the people you want in your corner are Britain and Spain." -- Bill Maher

Hi, Marty (if your name is, indeed, Marty):
I have been reading the following article, and am speechless at the stupidity of the American public! America will believe anything that sounds good because we can't stand anything close to the truth that makes us feel bad about being American. Or is it that we truly just don't care? Are we really all this self-absorbed?
I digress...here's an excerpt from the article:
"According to a New York Times/CBS News survey, 42 per cent of the American public believes that Saddam Hussein is directly responsible for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. And an ABC news poll says that 55 per cent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein directly supports al-Qaida. What percentage of America's armed forces believe these fabrications is anybody's guess."
This is from an article from the
Information Clearing House, a great site. Check it out!

Last Night
Lots of wind today.
Virgil came over to watch Bill Maher tonight. Thanks to the tanked economy, cable is just a fond memory for him.
Thought this was the lamest show, so far. Seeing Joe Scarborough (notice, there's never any mention of his dead intern), will put me in a disagreeable mood, but, allowing that lipless-wonder to grin & try to be glib & charming is downright offensive.
Sure liked seeing Aaron McGruder get some screen time.
Bill seemed somewhat on the defensive - wonder if his corporate masters are using the 'carrot & 2 bricks routine'?
Tonight, Saturday, CBS is supposed to be in the throes of 'The Final Four' (college basketball playoffs for the non-sports crowd), so it's local programming on the left coast.
NBC is supposed to have the previously postponed 'The Making Of Fear Factor', followed by the movie 'Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom'.
'SNL' is FRESH, with Bernie Mac hosting, and Good Charlotte providing the music.
ABC - well, one source says they'll open the night with a 'TBA' - 'To Be Announced', and the other source says it's another freaking RERUN blooper show, followed by a
FRESH, but vile, 'Are You Hot?', followed by the Season Finale of the deplorable 'Are You Hot?'.
The WB locally is basketball, with the Knicks visiting the Clips.
Faux has a RERUN 'Cops', followed by a RERUN 'Cops', then 'America's Most Wanted'.
UPN locally is baseball, with Rupert's Doggers still in Sandy Eggo.
TCM seems to be celebrating Bridges - 'Bridge On The River Kwai', followed by 'A Bridge Too Far', and then 'The Bridge At Remagen'.
Anyone have any opinions?
Or reviews?

A Letter to America
Dear America:
This is a difficult letter to write, because I'm no longer sure who you are.
Some of you may be having the same trouble. I thought I knew you: We'd become well acquainted over the past 55 years. You were the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck comic books I read in the late 1940s. You were the radio shows -- Jack Benny, Our Miss Brooks. You were the music I sang and danced to: the Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, the Platters, Elvis. You were a ton of fun.
You wrote some of my favorite books. You created Huckleberry Finn, and Hawkeye, and Beth and Jo in Little Women, courageous in their different ways. Later, you were my beloved Thoreau, father of environmentalism, witness to individual conscience; and Walt Whitman, singer of the great Republic; and Emily Dickinson, keeper of the private soul. You were Hammett and Chandler, heroic walkers of mean streets; even later, you were the amazing trio, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Faulkner, who traced the dark labyrinths of your hidden heart. You were Sinclair Lewis and Arthur Miller, who, with their own American idealism, went after the sham in you, because they thought you could do better.
You were Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront, you were Humphrey Bogart in Key Largo, you were Lillian Gish in Night of the Hunter. You stood up for freedom, honesty and justice; you protected the innocent. I believed most of that. I think you did, too. It seemed true at the time.
I won't go into the reasons why I think your recent Iraqi adventures have been -- taking the long view -- an ill-advised tactical error. By the time you read this, Baghdad may or may not look like the craters of the Moon, and many more sheep entrails will have been examined. Let's talk, then, not about what you're doing to other people, but about what you're doing to yourselves.
You're gutting the Constitution. Already your home can be entered without your knowledge or permission, you can be snatched away and incarcerated without cause, your mail can be spied on, your private records searched. Why isn't this a recipe for widespread business theft, political intimidation, and fraud? I know you've been told all this is for your own safety and protection, but think about it for a minute. Anyway, when did you get so scared? You didn't used to be easily frightened.
For the rest, A Letter to America
'Taken God Hostage'
Günter Grass
US resident George W. Bush and al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden have both "taken God hostage to support their horrible aims", German novelist Günter Grass said.
Bush displayed his religious convictions in a way none of his predecessors had ever done in modern times and Bin Laden was conducting a holy war against the United States, said the winner of the 1999 Nobel prize for literature and author of the novel "The Tin Drum".
"The United States is behaving more and more like a war criminal," the veteran author told a German television talk show, in a bitter attack on the US use of cluster bombs in Iraq.
Iraqi children are at grave risk from cluster bombs partly because they are coloured yellow like the food packages dropped from US and British planes, the United Nations children's agency UNICEF warned on Friday.
"The United States should be in the dock," Grass said.
"The Americans will win the war but the true losers will be in the United States because that country has lost a considerable part of its reputation," Grass said.

Moving To Miami
Ann Coulter
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter is so upset by Mayor Bloomberg's Tali-ban on smoking, she's moved to Miami. "[Bloomberg] is wrecking New York City and I didn't want to pay for his fascist smoking police . . . Soon he'll be mandating that New Yorkers have a glass of milk and engage in calisthenics every day," Coulter fumed. "He seems to imagine that New Yorkers were drawn to that city for the clean living . . . I'm not sure even [former mayor John] Lindsay could have come up with something so breathtakingly stupid. Reduced bar business means reduced tax revenues means Ann-Pays-More. So I'm gone."

Gave $500G to Univesity of Oklahoma
James Garner
Veteran actor and Oklahoma native James Garner is giving $500,000 to help aspiring actors at the University of Oklahoma.
Garner's gift will be used to endow a $1 million faculty chair in the university's School of Drama.
The university will request matching funds from state regents to create the James Garner Chair in Drama, the drama school's first endowed position. The chair will be designated for the director of the school.
Garner, 74, got choked up as he spoke to the standing-room-only campus crowd that gathered for the announcement.
"Oh, has somebody got a Kleenex?" the Norman native said. "Strangely enough, I have a fear of public speaking. I don't have it in front of a camera because I know I can always do it over."

Reads Reporter Riot Act
Pearl Jam
On the defensive for some antiwar remarks at the opening show of their first North American tour in nearly three years, the grunge rockers are rejecting as media hype a report that there was a mass walkout by upset fans after lead singer Eddie Vedder impaled a mask of resident Bush on a microphone stand during the encore.
"There were close to 12,000 people at the April 1 Denver show. It's possible two dozen left during the encore, but it was not noticeable amongst the 11,976 who were loudly applauding and enjoying the evening's music," the band said in a statement. "It just made a better headline to report otherwise."
The headline in question stemmed from a story by Scripps Howard News Service reporter Mark Brown, who wrote on Wednesday that dozens of angry fans walked out after Vedder's tirade, complaining that he went too far during his anti-Bush song "Bushleaguer" (the lyrics says the resident is "not a leader/he's a Texas leaguer"), which concluded the show.
"You got a minute for this?" Vedder asked the audience, before relating a conversation he had with a Vietnam veteran whom Vedder said had strong doubts about the war in Iraq.
After someone in the crowd yelled "Shut up," Vedder tried to be the better man.
"I don't know if you heard about this thing called freedom of speech, man. It's worth thinking about it, because it's going away. In the last year of being able to use it, we're sure as [expletive] going to use it and I'm not going to apologize," Vedder said to mostly cheers, per Brown's account.
Later in the show, Vedder voiced his support of the troops in Iraq.
"To the families [of soldiers] and those people who know those folks and are related to those folks and are married to those folks, we send our support. We're just confused on how wanting to bring them back safely all of a sudden becomes nonsupport. We love them, we support them. They're not the ones who make the foreign policy...let's hope for the best and speak our opinions."
Pearl Jam concluded its 24-song set with a rousing cover of Neil Young's classic, "Rockin' in the Free World," a pointed criticism of the first President Bush's tenure in the White House.

'Liberal' Book Defies Common Assumption
Eric Alterman
The news business has plenty of failings, but left-wing bias isn't one of them, Eric Alterman says.
So why does almost any discussion of the media default to its alleged liberal tilt?
The answer is: Years of conditioning that goes back, at least, to Richard Nixon's media-bashing vice president, Spiro Agnew. Or so says Alterman, who aims to overturn what he sees as a bum rap.
Alterman, 43, writes the media column for The Nation and a Web log for MSNBC.com. He's a liberal. And he's clearly fed up with the widespread assumption he challenges in his new book, "What Liberal Media? The Truth About Bias and the News."
With his book, Alterman is hoping to embolden media professionals. But he also sounds a wake-up call to media consumers.
"I have a sense that there are loads of liberals out there who have been going crazy because they keep hearing about the liberal media," says Alterman. "And yet, more often than not, the media are dominated by conservatives."
But Alterman's analysis of media owners turned up no right-wing conspiracy — just a practical policy of courting the largest possible audience while averting controversies that could hurt the bottom line.
"There's an enormous conservative movement in this country, and no liberal movement," says Alterman. By favoring conservatives over the far less organized or vocal opposition, media owners are simply following the path of least resistance.
For the rest of a good read, Eric Alterman

Plays Pirated Radiohead Songs
Australian Radio Network
An Australian radio network said Thursday it could not resist the "magic musical moment" of playing pirated tracks from British band Radiohead's upcoming album.
State broadcaster Triple J treated its listeners Monday to three tracks it had downloaded from an illegal Web site of Radiohead's "Hail to the Thief" album, due to be released on June 9.
"I had no interest in infringing the copyright, but we did want to play some of the tracks. And so I rang EMI and explained to them that we just had to do it," said Arnold Frolows, Triple J's music director. "It was just such a magic musical moment. This is going to be big hit for them."
Frolows said EMI Australia had not been aware that despite tight security surrounding the album's release it had somehow found its way onto a number of Web sites Sunday.

Akamai Declines to Assist
Al-Jazerra Site
The Web site of Arab satellite news channel Al-Jazeera was refused assistance this week when it sought help from Akamai Technologies Inc. of Cambridge, Mass., in dealing with hacking attacks and massive interest from Web users.
"We think it's political pressure," said Nabil Hegazi, deputy managing editor of Al-Jazeera's English-language Web site.
Akamai rents out a network of 12,600 servers that help customer Web sites deal with unexpected traffic, hacker attacks and Internet bottlenecks.
In a prepared statement, Akamai said it "worked briefly this week with Al Jazeera to understand the issues they are having distributing their websites," but decided not to continue the relationship.
Akamai would not comment Friday on why it broke off the collaboration.
Web portal Lycos reported that Al-Jazeera's site was the most sought-after on the Internet last week.

To Write Book
Howard Dean
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has taken one more step that demonstrates he's a presidential candidate: He's writing a book.
Simon & Schuster, which also has deals with likely Democratic contenders Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, announced Thursday that it has reached agreement with Dean for a book to come out this fall.
According to Simon & Schuster, Dean's book, not yet titled, will focus on "his life, his political accomplishments and his vision for America in the future."

'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'
Regis Philbin
Regis Philbin has some angry words for ABC - which hasn't aired "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in about a year.
"It's almost like I embarrassed them," Philbin told The Toronto Sun. "Never heard a word about it," he said, when asked if "Millionaire" will return to prime-time.
ABC had promised last year that "Millionaire" would return to its prime-time schedule "in one form or another" but, thus far, that hasn't happened this season.
Instead, ABC has aired reality shows like "Are You Hot?" and "All American Girl," both of which bombed. A syndicated, daytime version of "Millionaire," hosted by Meredith Vieira, debuted last fall.

You can love Meat Loaf — you can love him forever — but you can't see him in concert for much longer.
The singer-actor is embarking on his final world tour, which will last 15 months. The U.S. portion is scheduled to begin June 22 in Saratoga, Calif., and end Sept. 29 in West Springfield, Mass. Then he'll travel to Europe, Australia and Asia before returning to Europe and the United States.
"He wants to tour and then devote himself to acting," his spokesman, Dan Forman at Susan Blond Inc., said Friday. "He has the acting bug — he's been doing that for a while and he's appeared in some great films."

50 Million To Hit Web
Historical Documents
Researchers, genealogists and the plain curious can now use the Internet to check more than 50 million historical records at the National Archives, from Civil War battles to family immigration files.
Before the system became available, people had to either visit the Archives and spend hours combing through documents or request the files by phone and pay to have them mailed.
The database draws from the records of 20 federal agencies. Most of the information was created by the agencies to suit their own program needs, without any thought to its historical significance.
Because of that, some records have typographical errors like misspelled names or an inaccurate dates. National Archives officials did not correct any of the information to preserve the records' integrity.

Birthday Eve Serenade
Colin Powell
US Secretary Colin Powell expressed suprise and feigned indignation as a group of State Department staffers and journalists serenaded him on the eve of his 66th birthday.
Powell, engrossed in diplomacy over Iraq, the Middle East and numerous other time-consuming crises, was set to begin a brief news conference with visiting top EU diplomat, Javier Solana, when the assembled crowd burst into song.
After the completion of a slightly off-key but rousing version of "Happy Birthday," Powell smiled, turned to reporters and said: "You all are very, very sick."
"Thank you very much," he said, recovering from his initial disbelief and refusing to confirm his age. "You know how old I am and that's enough of that. Thank you very much. I'm appreciative."

This oil-on-canvas self-portrait by Paul Cezanne, circa 1895, will be auctioned by Christie's in New York at its May 7, 2003 sale of Impressionist art. Some art dealers told clients to horde their treasures and wait out the Iraq war and the global economic slump but the big auction houses say they still have major works to offer. The Cezanne has an estimated value of between $15 million and $20 million.

Says Time to Put Record Straight
Paul McCartney
Former Beatle Paul McCartney hit back at critics on Saturday, saying a decision to reverse the traditional "Lennon-McCartney" songwriting credit on his new album was not a slur on his band mate but a chance to "put the record straight."
In an interview with Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, 60-year-old McCartney said he was simply "letting people know that the songs I sing today are my own."
And he added that he had no doubts that fellow Beatle John Lennon -- killed by a sniper on his New York doorstep 23 years ago -- would understand the decision.
McCartney's decision to switch the credits sparked a high-profile dispute with Lennon's widow Yoko Ono in December last year.
"I personally don't see any harm in John's songs such as "Strawberry Fields" and "Help" being labeled Lennon and McCartney and my songs such as "Let It Be" and "Eleanor Rigby" being labeled McCartney and Lennon," he said last year.
Speaking to the Mirror, he reiterated that point: "I wasn't being big headed. I just asked that for once in 30 years, my name could be switched as a reward."

Buys Unpublished Woolf Articles
The British Library
The British Library has bought an unpublished series of mock newspaper articles handwritten by author Virginia Woolf and discovered in an old tin trunk.
The seven autographed manuscripts are among the library's purchase of 188 editions of a newspaper called The Charleston Bulletin that was compiled by Woolf's nephews, Julian and Quentin Bell, as children.
Christopher Wright, the library's head of manuscripts, said Friday that the works will provide an insight into the influential Bloomsbury group of writers, artists and philosophers.
The British Library said the collection, owned by Quentin's wife, Anne Olivier Bell, had remained locked away in a tin truck until his death in 1996. Anne Bell is donating the undisclosed proceeds of the sale to the Charleston Trust for the conservation of the house.

Principal For A Day
Chuck Barris
Chuck Barris, the godfather of reality TV and a most unusual "Principal for a Day," shared his world-weary wisdom — and bizarre life story — with the students of the Brooklyn HS of the Arts yesterday.
"You had a gong show?" yelled one student as Barris made his way to the auditorium.
"It was on before you were born," Barris said. "Everything I did was before you were born."
Critics said it was the worst show ever on television — featuring amateur acts, such as the female twins whose talent was licking popsicles, the Unknown Comic and Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine. When an act became unbearable, out came the gong.
But in today's accelerated culture, the once-notorious show draws a blank for a generation raised on the likes of "Jerry Springer."
Some students whispered, "He's old," while others seemed to confuse Barris — a k a the "Ayatollah of Trasherola" — with "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek.
But the creator of scores of daytime game shows — including perennial favorites "The Dating Game" and "The Newlywed Game" — said he's keenly interested in education and the future.

'I Miss America'
by Alan Bisbort
I miss Richard Nixon. What I mean is, I miss the days of Richard Nixon when, even while the Trickster and Spiro Agnew were abusing power, a loyal opposition resided in Washington, D.C. I miss the days when a loyal opposition was bipartisan, well-spoken and independent-minded, when it included people like Daniel Moynihan, who died this week, and Lowell Weicker, then a Republican Senator from this great state. I miss the time when the Republican Party had smart people in it, even if you disagreed with them, people like Mark Hatfield, Barry Goldwater, John Chaffee. I miss the time when even so-called "doves" like William Fulbright, Mike Mansfield, George McGovern and Morris Udall were admired by those who voted differently from them. I miss the checks and balances that were built into our Constitution and worked so well for this nation up until November 2000.
I miss America.
I miss the fact that Nixon was something of an evil genius and Spiro Agnew a sort of idiot savant, and that, in tandem, they made for excellent public spectacles. I miss how easy it was to kick Dick Nixon around and how comically predictable was the bombast of Agnew (written by now eminent pundits Pat Buchanan and William Safire).
I miss the fact that, even in his darkest hours, Nixon conducted regular, unscripted press conferences, his upper lip and enormous forehead beading with sweat as he fielded one tough question after another from unsycophantic (even openly hostile) journalists. I miss Nixon's ability to speak in complete sentences and foment strategies that, even if you disagreed with them, were consistent. I miss Nixon's occasional forays into moderation and even shockingly prescient policy (e.g., opening the door to China, creating the Environmental Protection Agency).
Indeed, the crimes of George W. Bush ON A DAILY BASIS surpass the collective crimes of Richard Nixon's entire presidential career.

Lions & Tigers & The Boss' Son
Lion Tamer
A woman lion tamer has run away from a circus in Germany with eight lions, two tigers and the circus director's son, police said on Friday.
The woman, in her late 40s, is believed to have developed a close relationship with the 20-year-old man she was training to become a lion tamer, a police spokesman in the northern German town of Melle said.
The couple eloped with a truck containing the animals and is still on the run since disappearing on Monday night.
"If she can handle lions and tigers she shouldn't have trouble with a 20-year-old man," said Georg Dongowski, spokesman for the Melle police.
