Humor
The Justice Department yesterday pressed felony charges against two West Virginia adults for having sex out of wedlock, citing an obscure 19th century law. The "Trapper Mongering Act of 1827" was intended to prevent prostitutes from luring bear trappers into brothels and stealing their pelts, but the DOJ has interpreted it to mean that all premarital sex is illegal.
"Preventing gays from getting married until they're burning in hell isn't enough," said President Bush at a press briefing. Sex is bad, and pre-marital sex is worse. That's why I'm declaring War on Sex."

Cheney & the Bushes
Dick Cheney, President Bush and his father are flying on Air Force One. Dick looks at Dubya, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a $100.00 bill out the window right now and make one person very happy."
Dubya shrugs his shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $10.00 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy." George Bush Senior says, "Of course then, I could throw one-hundred $1.00 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."
The pilot rolls her eyes, looks at all of them and says, "I could throw all of you out the window and make the whole country happy."

Reader Comment
Re: Iraq Justifications
Justifying the war in Iraq, George W. Bush said, "We haven't found the stockpiles, but we knew he could make them. The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power."
I would argue that the world is better off without George W. Bush in power. Furthermore, I would argue that the United States has known stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. However, I would NOT argue that another country ought to invade the United States and kill lots of civilians to remove George W. Bush from power.

Ex-'West Wing' Staffer Running for NC House
Beth Troutman
Democratic congressional hopeful Beth Troutman has landed solid support from her old colleagues on the "The West Wing."
Martin Sheen, who plays the fictional President Josiah Bartlet on the NBC show, is among several cast members who have contributed to Troutman's campaign to oust incumbent U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes, a Republican.
Troutman worked on "The West Wing" for four years, most recently as manager of the director-executive producer's office.
Other "West Wing" members contributing to Troutman's campaign include series creator Aaron Sorkin, executive producer John Wells and his wife, Marilyn, actor Bradley Whitford and actress Allison Janney.

Supposedly Seeks Public Input
FCC
If Federal Communications Commission chairman Michael Powell has learned anything since his new media-ownership rules were rejected by two courts, most of Congress and a public disgruntled with what radio has to offer on its airwaves, it would probably be this: Ask the public what it thinks next time.
Now, with the FCC trying to address concerns about local broadcasting in the age of consolidation, Powell has issued a notice inviting public comment on localism issues.
The FCC is asking the public to submit written comments on a host of localism topics, from the main-studio rule -- which maintains that a station must have its main studio in the market to which it is licensed -- to disaster coverage.
Comments will be due Sept. 1 and reply comments due Oct. 1.

Will Rely on Reality
NBC
Broadcaster NBC will rely on its top reality shows to bolster its fall schedule while seeking to improve ratings for scripted programs, especially the embattled comedy genre, its top executives said on Saturday.
Speaking to television critics as part of that group's summer press tour, Kevin Reilly, president of NBC Entertainment, said the network was in a strong position despite having lost two staples, the comedies "Friends" and "Frasier."
In an unexpected move, Reilly said NBC will bring back its summer reality series "Last Comic Standing" this fall, starting a third installment of the show right after its coverage of the Olympics in late August. The show has been a ratings standout for the network this summer and last.
Despite "Apprentice," which NBC Universal Television Group President Jeff Zucker called the most valuable show on television, and other hits like "Fear Factor," the executives said the network needed to focus on its bread and butter, comedies and dramas.

Gives Concert for Inmates
Glen Campbell
Glen Campbell called it "a captive audience" - and he wasn't kidding. Campbell, nearing the end of his 10-day sentence for extreme drunken driving, gave a free 30-minute concert Friday night for about 1,000 inmates at Maricopa County's outdoor jail.
"Tent City, you're gentle on my mind," Campbell sang during his opening song, the million-selling "Gentle on My Mind."
The Phoenix-based singer-guitarist performed several of his Top-10 hits on a makeshift stage atop a flatbed truck with some hay bales as a countrified backdrop.
He even offered a little encouragement to the inmates, saying: "Sometimes it's hard to take what you get."

This is Little Tombstone, Saxony - home for the weekend to Germany's cowboy and Indian hobbyists.
Well there is certainly plenty of bonding going on at a nearby line-dancing lesson - maybe bringing in new recruits for a cult that goes back to a 19th century author called Karl May.
His novels about the Apache Indian Vinnetou, and his German blood-brother Old Shatterhand, are enormously popular right across central Europe.

Professor Uses Archives to Write Biography
Woody Guthrie
More than a dozen writers have tried to chronicle the vagabond life of Woody Guthrie, but none have brought him alive quite like Ed Cray.
Ramblin' Man: The Life and Times of Woody Guthrie drew on a treasure trove of songs, stories, letters, drawings and notes that Guthrie compiled from his youth until the degenerative neurological disease Huntington's Chorea made it impossible for him to write or draw.
Cray, a University of Southern California professor, was the first to seek out the collection five years ago, when the family decided to open it to scholars. Impressed by Cray's previous books, Guthrie's daughter Nora agreed to give him unlimited access.
Other than some embarrassment at seeing her father's love affair with her mother explored in detail - "No kid should know this much about their parents" - Nora has had no regrets.
For the rest of an interesting read, Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie: Dust Bowl Balladeer
Woody Guthrie is one of my heroes.
I remember singing 'This Land is My Land' in grade school. The song book attributed the work to 'Anonymous' instead of Woody, because of his politics, which our music teacher pointed out.
By the time I got to high school, Pete Seeger was on 'The Smothers Brothers', and around then, Arlo hit with 'Alice's Restaurant,' and America seemed to relax a bit.
That's also when I found out Woody had Huntington's - Huntington's was the skeleton in my mom's family closet.
Out of 7 kids, only my grandmother & her youngest brother didn't develop it. It was a forbidden topic, even when it became obvious that something was very wrong.
Woody gave voice to underdogs, and showed that the right-wing doesn't have a lock on patriotism.
But most importantly, Woody's lesson is don't be afraid of words - or speaking the truth.
