Thank God For Jennifer
Thank the Lord for inventing the name of Jennifer Granholm, especially when he found a way to couple the names through anisotropic edification and other fuzzy gene pooling assimilation from logic of excellent taste, comfortably of not dying, or kinda dying photos to equate one another to derogitate the main incentive of brain power, let me help spread the word of Jennifer M. Granholm, or should I say first-term Governor of Michigan, Jennifer M. Granholm.
Man, what a babe on so many levels. This 45-year old beauty with brains was born in Canada, raised in California, went to school at Berkeley and graduated Harvard Law School, settled with her husband in Detroit, and began her law career. She now is the Democratic Governor of Michigan, a Democrat in a notoriously conservative state, especially the part they call the "Up North" region, where her popularity is excellent. It's on the eve of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I'm wondering who'll win, but when I see governors of states with this much rationality, it makes me reaffirm my belief in , no matter how much the executive branch of the federal government is fucked to the max, there will always be states where liberals can take refuge.
"We can save jobs and save the environment at the same time", she said in an interview in Grist Magazine. The issues motivating the nation's eigth most populated states are a mix of loss of high-paying auto industry jobs, and saving the environment, as well as the War in Iraq.
Kerry has been courting her quite heavily during his swings through her state, because he knows with her endorsement and her sixty -plus per cent job approval rating, she could be key in tonight's national election.
She's not one to be easily influenced. When he came by, she said she wants the automotive industry to not be overlooked in Washington, because it will take billions of dollars of investment for Michigan's auto plants to be on par with the foreign auto makers.
With her persuasion, the Kerry camp came up with a plan to help Michigan and all auto workers to invest to help America build the future fuel-efficient vehicles. "There is no reason why, with the huge potential for market out there in the world for fuel efficient vehicles, we can't be the cutting edge for change. So when it comes to the environment, (Kerry's) pursuit of fuel-efficient vehicles and cleaner energy all around, that's allright for us in Michigan", said the Governor.
To use a horribly trite phrase, keep the faith, folks. Have you ever been "polled"?
Nov. 2nd '04 P.S. We fucked up and we have a horrid man for a leader for four more fucking years...Jeez, what a dumbass country this is...........

Reader Question
Re: Bartcop E style/format
Marty:
Given Bush's popular vote majority, will you continue to manually delete the "P" from "President" in future Bartcop E stories about resident Bush?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Best,
Ej2e
Good Question, Ed.
My thoughts are since we now have a faith-based (as opposed to reality-based) government, I have faith that Governor Bush is far from presidential material, so, regardless of his current status, in my reality he will remain the 'resident'.

Purple Gene Reviews
'Necromania'
Purple Genes' X rated review of Ed Wood's movie "Necromania" (1971):
My daughter Heather called me from Barcelona today - she was crying....."Dad, what is happening in America? All my Spanish friends are both laughing and afraid about what's going on in the US!" I told her "the Kamakaze Kristians are trying to kill the Country"...Tell your "Friends" not to give up on "US"!! Only half of us are IDIOTS!!!!!
I felt like I did after the 1989 Earthquake......Shaken and Nervous.....So I decided to watch a Newly released DVD that just came in the mail..... The Hot Hot Hot re-mastered version of a before only bootlegged 43 minute movie by Ed Wood called "Necromania".
For anyone who's seen Ed Wood's "Glen or Glenda" or "Plan 9 from Outer Space", you can relate to really BAD movies. Tim Burtons' movie "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp and Martin Landau gave us an amazing insight into the man and his work. So I had very low expectations for "Necromania" (like I do for Geoge Bush!) and my very low expectations were shattered by this movie......"Necromania" is a horrible, grainy, hard core piece of shit!!! Ed Woods' movies usually had assinine plots and amateurish acting but the people in "Necromania" didn't want their names in the credits and Ed Wood used the name Don Miller as producer and director!
This is the worst film I've ever witnessed!!! It fails as a legitimate movie (It cost $5,000 to make and took 3 days to shoot) it sucks as hard core "Smut" (I can name and review current Hard Core flicks that succeed in stimulating the viewer) because the close up sex shots of balls and asses etc. are full of pubic hair and pimples and very shadowy and Oh my god what a MESS.......Do I have to tell you the PLOT??????? OK
Dude named Danny, who can't get HARD, comes with his unsatisfied girlfriend Shirley (who wears an angora sweater with her nipples arroused), to a Secret Cultish House with a coffin in the living room (Madam Heles is inside). Slut slaves Tanya and Barb must take Danny and Shirley separately to the Green Bed, The Shaggy Yellow Bed and the Hot Pink Bed and Turn them on!!!! Nipple licking, Clit licking, Cock sucking and actual intercourse (with hairy assholes and all) is the bulk of the movie - and it is disgusting and dirty and un-erotic!!!! This all leads up to the CLIMAX - which is the ceremonial "Coffin Fucking" scene where Madam Heles gives newly erect Danny a Blow Job IN the coffin and they actually show Dannys' "Spouting Candle" as the final scene! YUCK!
Ed Wood went on to make more cheesy porn flicks like "Snow Bunnies", "Drop Out Wife", "Cocktail Hostesses" and "Five Loose Women" - I'm not going to see any of them....neither are you. I'm going to go take a bath and wash the "Smut" off and then maybe put on some REAL PORN! - Like FOX NEWS!
Purple Gene gives Ed Woods' movie "Necromania" 0 stars out of 10 for being below even the lowest criteria for watchable cinema - warning this movie is X rated (extra Awful)!
Purple Gene
Thanks, Purple Gene!

In The Chaos Household
Last Night
Sunny & cool by day, looks like rain tonight.
We have a feral cat hunkered down in the living room.
She's a stray that showed up a couple of weeks ago and needs to be 'fixed'.
She was too smart for the trap, so she was lured into the house with tuna.
The hope is by early next week we'll be able to pick her up or, failing that, chase her into the pantry, close the doors, put on the big leather gloves & have the carrier ready.
It's not like this is the first time...

Student Work Showcased
Clinton Presidential Library
The work of two University of Florida documentary students beat out 150 other films to receive a coveted place in the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library.
The film, "Miss Lil's Camp," was made by University of Florida Film Institute students Suzanne Niedland and Anberin Pasha. They interviewed three women who attended Lillian Smith's exclusive girls camp in Clayton, Ga., and wove in rare archival footage of the camp to tell Smith's story.
Niedland said Smith was "ahead of her time" in the way she challenged young women of that era "to question, rather than accept the world they lived in." She said Clinton represents that same ability of individuals to overcome far-reaching injustice.
Niedland and Pasha made "Miss Lil's Camp" for a graduate thesis project. They will attend the Nov. 16 screening at the main library in Little Rock. The Clinton Library opens a few blocks away two days later with a gala for Clinton, international dignitaries and an anticipated 30,000 guests.

Honor From Buckingham Palace
Eric Clapton
Rock guitarist Eric Clapton set aside his "rebellious streak" to become a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, or CBE.
The 59-year-old singer-songwriter described the honor - conferred by Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, during a ceremony Wednesday at Buckingham Palace - as the "icing on the cake" of his career.
He was accompanied by his wife, Melia McEnery, who is expecting the couple's third child. They have two young daughters.
Clapton, who was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, in 1994, first found fame in the 1960s as a member of the Yardbirds, before going on to achieve even greater international acclaim with the group Cream.

Monument to Be Dedicated
Beach Boys
Just a few miles from the surf and sand the Beach Boys celebrated, the city will dedicate a monument where Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson grew up.
California Historical Landmark No. 1041 will be dedicated on May 20.
The Wilson home was razed to make room for the Century Freeway, so the monument will sit at the end of dead-end 119th Street next to a sound wall built to mute traffic noise.

Produces Another 'New' Tupac Album
Eminem
Eminem has produced 12 songs based around previously unreleased verses from late rapper Tupac Shakur for the album "Loyal to the Game," Billboard.com has learned.
Due Dec. 14 via Amaru/Interscope, the 16-track set will be the seventh album of Shakur's music released since he was shot and killed in 1996.
Although a full track list has not been finalized, the album will include guest appearances from such hip-hop superstars as 50 Cent, Jadakiss and Lloyd Banks, as well as Nate Dogg, Eminem protege Obie Trice, Outlawz, Sleepy Brown, Young Buck and Ronald Isley.
The four tracks Eminem did not produce were helmed by Raphael Saadiq, Scott Storch and Red Spyda. Shakur's mother Afeni served as executive producer in tandem with Eminem.

Exhibit Opens
'Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood'
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood just got a bit bigger - and a lot more fun. Anyone who ever wanted to don a cardigan and sneakers, watch Picture Picture or take a trolley to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe now has a chance in an expanded and more playful exhibit honoring children's most trusted friend at the revamped Children's Museum of Pittsburgh.
The Mr. Rogers' exhibit is a main attraction at the museum, which reopens Saturday after a two-month, $28 million expansion that quadrupled its size.
The expanded museum, now more than 80,000 square feet, begs visitors to play - from the articulated cloud, a screen that ripples in the wind above the new entrance, to interactive video installations that allow visitors to "catch" raining letters to water exhibits that allow visitors to build boats and sail them through locks and dams or be a plumber (it's more fun than it sounds).

Eight Held in Filmmaker's Slaying
Theo van Gogh
Police arrested eight more suspected Islamic radicals Wednesday in the slaying of a Dutch filmmaker who criticized Muslim customs. Lawmakers questioned why authorities hadn't kept tabs on the alleged killer, who had a record of violent crime and contacts with a group under surveillance.
The arrests were made in the 24 hours since Theo van Gogh was slain while cycling down an Amsterdam street Tuesday - believed to be the first Islamic terrorist attack in the Netherlands.
Van Gogh released a fictional film in August about the mistreatment of Muslim women. In the film, women were shown naked with texts from the Quran scrawled on their bodies.
Police and eyewitnesses said the attacker shot Van Gogh, stabbed him, cut his throat with one knife, and pinned a note to his chest with another.

Loses Sheriff Race
Bubba the Love Sponge
Bubba the Love Sponge got squeezed in his race to become sheriff. The shock jock, who was fired from a Tampa radio station after being sanctioned by the Federal Communications Commission for his on-air ribaldry, was easily defeated for Pinellas County sheriff by chief sheriff's deputy Jim Coats.
Todd Clem had his name legally changed to Bubba the Love Sponge Clem when he became a celebrity on Tampa's WXTB-FM. He was running as a Democrat.
Clem, 38, appeared as "Bubba Clem" on the ballot. Campaign manager Brent Hatley said the candidate voted Tuesday morning, then left Florida to watch the national election results with relatives in Indiana.

'Taking Over World'
Giant Squid
Giant squid are taking over the world, well at least the oceans, and they are getting bigger.
According to scientists, squid have overtaken humans in terms of total bio-mass.
That means they take up more space on the planet than us.
The reason has been put down to overfishing of other species and climate change.
A report in the Australian science journal, Australasian Science, said marine researchers are now in universal agreement that cephalopods have been given an advantage not available to any other sea creature.

Wedding Snub
Prince Charles
Britain's Prince Charles has decided at the last minute to stay away from the wedding of his godson because he was not seated next to his consort Camilla Parker-Bowles, press reports said.
Although there was no official confirmation from Charles's London residence of Clarence House, the reports said the couple had decided to give the wedding of Edward van Cutsem to Lady Tamara Grosvenor, scheduled for Saturday in the north-western English city of Chester, a miss.
The family of the bride had decided that as Camilla has no official status within the royal family, she could not be seated next to the prince at the wedding, The Telegraph said.
The wedding, one of the top society events in Britain this year, is due to be attended by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Charles' parents.

There's A Wait
Canada
Disgruntled Democrats seeking a safe Canadian haven after President Bush won Tuesday's election should not pack their bags just yet.
Canadian officials made clear on Wednesday that any U.S. citizens so fed up with Bush that they want to make a fresh start up north would have to stand in line like any other would-be immigrants -- a wait that can take up to a year.
There are anywhere from 600,000 to a million Americans living in Canada, a country that leans more to the left than the United States and has traditionally favored the Democrats over the Republicans.

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down
Chorus:
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down
