Sweaty Dick

Sounds to me like Big Dick had a little spasmodic anxiety episode there for a spell before being hospitalized for shortness of breath. Cheney was admitted then shortly released after complaining about what he thought were problems associated with his heart. After release from the hospital, his spokesmen said he had a cold. Does it take high-paid salaried governmental officials to let us know that he has a cold? Only if it's bullshit.

I would imagine even the most cruel and cold individuals like Big Dick would experience perceived phantom pains and symptoms like shortness of breath when one has unneeded blood on one's hands. Big Dick sounds to me like he's having panic attacks.

Panic attacks are episodes of feeling out of control, the heart tends to beat fast, sweaty palms, sweaty Dick, the whole nine sweaty yards. Should one feel compassion for this sweaty second-in-line Commander-in-Chief when he has these harmless panic episodes, easily quelled by a Valium or a Xanax? That's entirely up to an individual, but I say I hope the fucker starts having nightmares so fucking bad he can't sleep for days, he wakes up screaming in the middle of the night like many of the soldiers on the front line, nightmares which will haunt them for their lifetimes. Even after all the Seconal on top of Ambien his fucked up heart can handle, I hope this man is damned for his short remaining time on this planet. After his heart quits ticking here, I'd hate to meet a Supreme Creator if I was wearing his little tassle loafers.

He doesn't know how it's like on the front lines of Fallujah, nor does he give a flying fuck in the moon. Getting the shit kicked out of you in the name of God and country probably welcomes much more anxiety than the quell of Big Dick's tiny little mad mind is able to muster. Has he even been to the Walter Reid Hospital yet to pay respects to the shattered lives of the men sent to find WMD's?

One must remember that young men and women are dying on a daily basis and Dick was one of the masterminds of this quagmire we currently reside in. Compassion for this Dick? You must be kidding me.

I would certainly like to have our second-in-command tested for any drug use now, because he sure was in favor of pre-employment drug tests when he was head cheese at the now-being-investigated- by-the-FBI Halliburton, Inc. He is probably using benzodiazepines, a very effective drug for anxiety, but can be incredibly addicting, and harder to kick than heroin. Do we want a stoned out "head"( drug user vernacular of the street) , as our second Commander?

I saw on the history channel that that guy Hitler was injecting amphetamine substances, at massive doses, under the guise of vitamins during his rule of the Nazi party in Germany, and you know how big of pest he turned out to be. I believe I'm beginning to see similarities between Hitler and Cheney. Check it out:

Hitler didn't wear a moustache until he was an older man. Cheney didn't either. Well, Cheney never wore one at all, as far as I can tell, but he could always grow one, so keep an open mind, people, a moustache cropped at the vertical plane of his nostrils might not be too far behind. Hitler was associated with homosexuality, as is Cheney. Hitler didn't like drug addicts, even though he was one. Cheney still needs to be tested, I believe, before I make a firm comparison, but I think Cheney is using "tranqs', another street vernacular for these "benzos", "downers", Rufi's", "goofballs". Although "goofballs", "benzos", "downers", are a tad different than the "uppers" Hitler was fond of, the old saying goes one man's bourbon is another man's shot of cocaine.

Hitler hated Jews, Cheney probably has a strong disdain for them, due to his acknowledgement of Arafat. Hitler used foul language in private. So does Big Dick. Big Dick said "Fuck off" to a reporter, even in front of little people under the age of twenty-one. Are you starting to get the picture here?

Remember what George W., our loving Commander Numero Uno, said about evil. He said evil was bad. And I'll bet ya he has said drugs are evil at one in his miserable career as a Renaissance leader. That means his pal Big Dick is an evil man. I don't think we need a huge governmental investigation of evil. They'll come to the conclusion that evil is bad, and we could have used all that governmental wisdom and know-how put to better use, like programming the smart bombs that blow up our own troops to blow up enemy troops.

I think our country should rally around our Big Dick, especially in his excited times of panic followed by drugs, and let's hope he withers through this personal hailstorm of his with enough meds so he doesn't have to spend our money being a "head", or a "stoner". And let's just hope George W. takes on one emotion at a time, terror first, then he can fight fright. That'll be a good one for next election. Fright and terror combined might just push the red states into letting the BFEE continue its reign well into the 21st century, the 21st century only if one bases their time on the Judaeo-Christian calendar Constantine liked well enough circa "300 A.D" to make it the one the western world still uses today. Time is a silly and confusing concept, especially to those of us in the red states who still enjoy "Hints from Heloise".

An Excerpt:
"History, looked at under the surface, in the streets and on the farms, in GI barracks and trailer camps, in factories and offices, tells a different story. Whenever injustices have been remedied, wars halted, women and blacks and Native Americans given their due, it has been because 'unimportant' people spoke up, organized, protested, and brought democracy alive."

Purple Gene Reviews

'Dark Victory' (1939)

Purple Genes' review of "Dark Victory" (1939), directed by Edmund Goulding and starring Bette Davis:

If you've ever heard Kim Carnes' raspy voice howling, "She's got Bette Davis EYES"! or Bob Dylan growling, "She puts her hands in her back pockets - Bette Davis STYLE" - then you must see the movie "Dark Victory" starring Bette Davis herself. Ms. Davis has completely consumed so many movie characters in her acting career....Charlotte Vale in "Now Voyager", Mildred Rogers in "Of Human Bondage", Gabby Maple in "Petrified Forest", Eve, Jezabel, Baby Jane and Apple Annie. But my personal favorite after Charlotte Vale is her portrayal of Judith Traherne in the movie "Dark Victory".

Today, my mother in law, Mary Beth, is undergoing an operation for a brain tumor....as my thoughts are with her, I recalled the plot to "Dark Victory"......Champagne soaked socialite (Judith Traherne) starts blacking out and having problems with her vision....she goes to a specialist - Dr.Frederick Steele (George Brent) who diagnoses her with a brain tumor and performs surgery...but Judith falls in love with Dr. Steele and he cant bear to tell her that the tumor WILL return and kill her...so he hides the truth from her wanting her to live out her last days with him in a false bliss....well she accidently finds out the truth by digging into some medical files and gets a "large dose of prognosis negative"......depressed and desperate she decides to be brave and live out her final days in peace........

There are so many other supporting characters....Humphrey Bogart as the Irish horse trainer - Michael O'Leary, Ronald Reagan as the perrenially plastered pal Alec Hamm, Henry Travers as the venerable Doc Parsons (He's known Judith since birth) and Geraldine Fitzgerald as her closest friend and confidant Ann King. But....there is a character that is often overlooked in these kind of dramitic movies where the main character dies at the end........THE MUSIC.....in the case of "Dark Victory" we have the amazing Max Steiner - the king of the over-amped sound track! We also have Bette Davis - known for her strong minded and maybe even meddlesome involvement...well....the end of the movie has Judith loosing her sight while she is planting bulbs with Ann....this loss of vision is the sign that she will die in a short space of time.......she bravely and blindly says goodbye to Dr Steele (he's off to receive an award) not letting on that the end is near......and Ann helps her inside so she can go upstairs to her bedroom and peacefully pass......but she stops at the bottom of the stairs and tells Ann that she wants to walk up the stairs by herself...........now according to my inside sources, while rehearsing this scene, Bette Davis says to the director "Either I'm going up those stairs or Max Steiner is going up those stairs (refering to his often overwhelming and over dramatic musical accompaniment) - but we're not going up together"!!!!!

Well - Bette won the Brouhaha and she slowly and painstakingly climbed the stairs with very little musical bravado........crawled in bed and won her "Dark Victory"!

Purple Gene gives "Dark Victory" 10 Bette Davis Eye winks out of ten for always making me appreciate how powerful a performer she was.

Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" tops the list, compiled from votes by 172 critics and musicians that included Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and others - in a special issue that hits newsstands Friday.

Following Dylan is the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," John Lennon's "Imagine," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and "Aretha Franklin's "Respect."

Rounding out the top ten are "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry, the Beatles' "Hey Jude," Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," and Ray Charles' "What'd I Say."

Visit Troops

Tony Soprano & Paulie Walnuts

Even TV mobsters have a soft spot for U.S. troops serving abroad. James Gandolfini and Tony Sirico of HBO's "The Sopranos" are on a USO-Armed Forces Entertainment tour in the Persian Gulf, the USO said Wednesday.

Gandolfini, who stars as mob boss Tony Soprano, and Sirico, who plays Paulie Walnuts, are signing autographs, posing for pictures and watching movies with the troops, the organization said.

It was not clear whether the actors visited Iraq. For security purposes, details about the trip were being withheld, including specific locations they were visiting and how long they were in the region, USO spokeswoman Donna St. John said.

Tapes 9,000th Episode

'All My Children'

The cast and crew of ABC's "All My Children" celebrated the taping of the daytime soap opera's 9,000th episode Wednesday - with cake.

Although the history of the soap includes a prison break, ghosts, dozens of marriages and a bear attack, the anniversary celebration was low-key. The cast gathered for a group picture, each holding a sign with the number of episodes aired since they first appeared on the show.

The card of Susan Lucci, 54, who plays diva Erica Kane, read 9,000. Yes, she's been on the show since its 1970 debut when her character was a teenager in high school.

The 9,000th episode, set to air Dec. 16, deals with the ongoing baby switch saga concerning Kane's daughter, Bianca Montgomery, played by Eden Riegel, and her believed-to-be-missing baby Miranda.

Jailed for Bathroom Beauty 'Clinic'

Diane Richie

Musical legend Lionel Richie's estranged wife has been arrested for allegedly allowing her boyfriend to turn her bathroom into an illegal cosmetic surgery clinic, officials said.

Diane Richie was charged with aiding and abetting Daniel Tomas Fuente Serrano by allowing him to inject patients with anti-wrinkle drugs, which were not approved by US drug regulators, in her Beverly Hills bathroom.

Authorities allege that Serrano, who went by the name of Dr. Daniel, was licensed to practise medicine in Argentina but not in California, although he is registered here as a nurse.

Will No Longer Skip Past Advertisers

TiVo

When it debuted in 1999, TiVo revolutionized the TV experience by wresting control of screen time from advertisers, allowing viewers to record shows and skip commercials. TiVo's slogan said it all: "TV your way."

Behind the scenes, though, TiVo was courting advertisers, selling inroads to a universe most customers saw as commercial-free. The result is a groundbreaking new business strategy, developed with more than 30 of the nation's largest advertisers, that in key ways circumvents the very technology that made TiVo famous.

By March, TiVo viewers will see "billboards," or small logos, popping up over TV commercials as they fast-forward through them, offering contest entries, giveaways or links to other ads. If a viewer "opts in" to the ad, their contact information will be downloaded to that advertiser - exclusively and by permission only - so even more direct marketing can take place.

By late 2005, TiVo expects to roll out "couch commerce," a system that enables viewers to purchase products and participate in surveys using their remote controls.

Perhaps even more significant is TiVo's new role in market research. As viewers watch, TiVo records their collective habits - second by second - and sells that information to advertisers and networks. (It was TiVo that quantified the effect of Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction," reporting a 180% increase in the number of replays reported by viewers.)

Jewels Net $1.87 Million at Auction

Maria Callas

Jewels which belonged to the late Greek-American opera singer Maria Callas fetched 2.19 million Swiss francs ($1.87 million) at auction, triple the pre-sale estimate, Sotheby's said on Wednesday.

There was hectic bidding for the 11 pieces, which the auction house said were put up for sale by an unnamed heir who had held onto the collection since the legendary soprano's death in 1977.

"... the collection sold at roughly three times the low end of the pre-sale estimate," David Bennett, executive director of Sotheby's international jewelry department, told reporters after conducting the sale in Geneva.

Melting Threatening Everest

Glaciers

Melting glaciers caused by climate change pose an urgent threat to Mount Everest's unique environment, activists said Wednesday, launching a campaign to protect the Himalayan mountain range and the world's highest peak.

Lakes have swollen from runoff, and unless urgent action is taken, many lakes could burst, threatening the lives of thousands of people and destroying the environment, said the campaigners - a collection of mountaineers, Nepalese climbers and the Friends of the Earth, an environmental lobbying organization.

The group will present a petition Thursday asking in Paris asking UNESCO, the United Nation's cultural agency, to place Nepal's Everest National Park on its World Heritage in Danger List.

Rose Bowl Parade

Mickey Mouse

Come New Year's Day, the world's most famous mouse will lead one of its best-known parades.

Declaring him "a friend to families around the world," the Tournament of Roses named Mickey Mouse (a nameless, height-challenged man in a costume) as grand marshal of the 116th parade, which will have the theme "Celebrate Family."

Although he routinely appears on Disneyland floats in the parade, the cartoon character has only ridden at the head of the procession once before. He accompanied his creator when Walt Disney was grand marshal in 1966.

Urges UK Lords to Let Him Sue Via Video

Roman Polanski

Lawyers for film director Roman Polanski urged England's highest court on Wednesday to allow him to sue for libel via video link in order to avoid the risk of being extradited to the United States for child sex offences.

Polanski, 71, who lives in Paris, wants to sue U.S. magazine Vanity Fair for defamation.

Polanski, who fled America in 1977 after admitting having sex with a child, wants to sue the magazine over an article he says defamed him by accusing him of seducing a woman who was with another man.

In Memory

Dayton Allen

Dayton Allen, a comedian and actor best known for his work as the voice of the cartoon character Deputy Dawg and the grumpy mayor Phineas T Bluster on The Howdy Doody Show, has died in Hendersonville, North Carolina, after suffering a stroke. He was 85.

His most notable voice work came from his long-time association with the cartoon studio Terrytoons.

He provided most of the voices for The Deputy Dawg Show, a syndicated series first broadcast in 1960.

He was also the voice of cartoon magpies Heckle and Jeckle, and many other characters.

Dayton Allen gained fame as one of the "men in the street" on the old "Tonight Show" hosted by Steve Allen. His catch phrase was "Why not?" (pronounced "whooooyyy not!" -- his voice a cross between Ed Wynn fool and Steve Martinesque "excuuuuuse me" wiseguy.

Samuel Billison

Samuel Billison, a member of a group of Navajo Marines who invented a military code based on the tribal language to confound the Japanese during World War II, died Wednesday of a heart problem, according to the Navajo Nation. His age was not immediately known.

The Navajos - called the Code Talkers - used the code and their native language to communicate troop movements and orders, developing a secret vocabulary that renamed military armaments and equipment using rough equivalents in Navajo.

Airplanes became birds, ships became fish and weapons were named after various items. For example, the word "bomb" was replaced by the Navajo word for "egg."

Billison was a longtime president of the Code Talker Association, and also served on the Navajo Nation Council.

Billison joined the Marines after high school in 1943. He said he was sent to test as a code talker when he completed boot camp and the Marines realized he was fluent in Navajo and English.
