Why I'm Not a Terrorist
 
    I'm not a terrorist because nobody is. That's right, terrorists don't exist. There isn't one, not one, anywhere. Nobody's a terrorist because terror isn't a cause. Philanthropists are devoted to philanthropy and want to advance the cause. Communists are devoted to communism and want to advance the cause. Realists are devoted to reality and want to advance the cause. It stands to reason that a terrorist must be devoted to terror but there's obviously no such thing. Do you actually think there are people out there who are trying to advance the cause of TERROR (other than John Carpenter and Boy George)? If terrorists are trying to win us over, they are asking us to join their "cause" and become terrorists with them. That's ridiculous. Unlike Christians who can't help but dream of a world full of Christians, or racists who like to picture a world full of Anglo-Saxon DNA, even a terrorist isn't hoping for a world full of terrorists. That would suck any way you look at it.
    We call suicide bombers "terrorists" but they're not advocating a world of terror in which people randomly blow themselves up. They don't want that any more than the next guy. I'm quite sure that every one of the people we've labeled "terrorist" has got something other than terror on their mind. Could be Allah, could be the olive fields, could be their lack of a life, could be a love affair gone wrong, could be bad schooling, bad family, bad religion, bad luck, or the only available means to express themselves.
    Terror is more a tactic than a cause. Like the Nazi blitzkrieg, it serves a purpose in wartime, annihilating the enemy, but it isn't the purpose itself. Nazi soldiers didn't die in honor of the "blitzkrieg" any more than Palestinians are dying in honor of "terrorism."
    The first lady came to visit a local library this week. Nice target, but I didn't go there to blow myself up for all kinds of reasons and the fact that I'm not a terrorist is the least of them. Lack of transportation would be my biggest problem, but even that's not why I didn't do it. I've got something to live for. Ending it now would be stupid. I've read every Shakespeare play, seen every Kubrick movie, heard every Sondheim song, smelled a million flowers, touched the Atlantic and Pacific, and experienced the full range of human emotions, from total bliss to abject despair, but I've never been to Paris. How could I possibly blow myself up with the first lady when I've never been to Paris?
    Yep, I've still got hope. You don't want to see the list of things I've never done but still hope to do. It'll just depress you but not me. It's what keeps me alive.
    How do we get them, whoever THEY are, from blowing themselves up or crashing into our buildings? Treat them like we treat all potential suicides. Bombing just happens to be the means they're using to achieve that goal. They want to go with a splash. People who quietly take their own lives by other means rarely make the paper. Taking as many others with you is the fastest way to celebrityhood on the terror express, albeit post mortem.
    Do what suicide hotlines do. Preach that life is worth living. MAKE life worth living. Read them Shakespeare or Monty Python or anything that isn't a sacred text and tell them there's lots more. Show them The Seven Samurai and Lord of the Rings and Finding Nemo and The Man Who Would be King and tell them there's lots more. Play them Beethoven symphonies and tell them there are also 17 string quartets that are even better. Feed them deep dish Chicago pizza and Bass Ale. Take them to Disneyland. How can anyone blow themselves up when there's Finding Nemo II to look forward to? Making lives worth living is a hell of a lot cheaper bombs and walls. Once their lives are worth living, the war on terror is won.

Brand New Form of Democracy Emerges in Oklahoma
 
Bill Wyatt won 10% of the vote in the Republican primary in Oklahoma. Because Oklahoma is NOT winner-take-all, he should get at least four delegates, but the Republican Party isn't giving them to him. The Republican Convention is locked. No delegates allowed if they're not pledged to Bush.
 
"Of course the GOP has decided that there would be no challenge, like a private company or religious group might decide such a thing, and they have taken away the opportunity for the Republican constituents to have a right to vote. If we let this type of thing happen we may never get the chance to choose a President again. The only thing unusual about this year is that they are getting away with it and the media is helping them do it."
- Bill Wyatt: Republican candidate for president -
 
Pope Refuses to View Richard Gere's The Passion of the Dalai Lama
 
    "It hasn't gotten made yet," complained a Vatican spokesman. "It is the Pope's policy not to comment on development deals."
    "That's no excuse," said Buddhist Richard Gere. "The Dalai Lama's story is just as compelling as that of Jesus Christ. It shouldn't matter that I haven't made it yet. The very fact that I'm thinking about it is NEWS, dammit, NEWS."
    "What the fuck?" replied the Vatican spokesman. "I didn't know you were going to make such a big deal out of it. Okay... here, here it is, the Pope's review of Richard Gere's hypothetical film about the Dalai Lama...
 
    To our venerable brothers in America, apostolic blessing. Gladly and willingly do we desire to carry out our work as shepherd of the entire flock of the Lord, so that everyone in the world may experience the saving dispensation of the Church and the People of God may suitably enjoy the assistance of religion.
    I woke up this morning and for one sweet glorious moment I forgot I was the Pope and it was heaven but then they propped me up and wheeled me into the screening room that's usually showing gay porn and told me that I should just imagine I was seeing a film about the Dalai Lama, and would it be any good or not, and could I give Richard Gere a quote?
    "Of course it would be good," I said, "you don't have to show me anything. I'm going to make up a movie I DON'T like? What would be the point? That's why I'm the Pope and you're whoever you are, because I know things, that's why, I know things. Things you would only know if you were the Pope, got it? Things you don't know. Who turned up the morphine drip?

How They Manipulate the Body Counts
 
    "If a soldier is completely dismembered by a bomb, then he is dead. Likewise, if a soldier is hit by a full burst of machine-gun fire, then he also is dead. The problems start when the medic [on the ground] is not quite sure whether the injured soldier is dead or not. We all like to save life if possible, so if the medic believes there is the faintest glimmer of hope, the injured soldier is sent immediately to the nearest [medical] aid station.
    "The split-second that soldier is removed from contact [wherever the incident took place], he is officially listed as 'wounded', regardless of whether he then dies 3 seconds or minutes or hours or days or months later, as a direct result of injuries sustained in the contact. Deaths in transit to the U.S., or after soldiers return home are also excluded completely, or become 'accidental deaths'. This is how Wolfowitz and his people massage the figures, and how the American public is misled."

He is a pretty handy guy.
He mows my grass. He paints my gate.
He is my friend. We both are straight.

Gallery from Hell
The future that almost happened
 
    For most of the second half of the 20th century, a cold war raged between the world's two superpowers. While battles were never fought on either country's land, long before Ronald Reagan OR George Lucas ever uttered the words "Star Wars," plans were made to take the cold war into outer space. Deepcold tells the secrets of the cold war in space between the Russians and Americans from 1959-1969, an international hardware war that never made it past development.
    The Dyna-Soar [pictured above] was America's first manned spacecraft which actually reached the hardware stage. Conceived in 1957 as a logical next step after the X-15 rocket plane, the Dyna-Soar (originally designated X-20) was based on Eugen Sanger's WWII-era "Silver Bird" concept of a bomber which could skip around the globe on the upper atmosphere.
 
Mr. Conspiracy Says...
 
    This is The Official 9/11 Commission Website where they say they are an "independent, bipartisan commission" and that they are "chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission is also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks." You can download transcriptions and everything, while it happens.
    At the bottom of the page is the contact address, info@9-11Commission.gov. Send them websites like Mark Elsis' brilliant and thorough http://www.911timeline.net/. Anyone with a shred of investigating instinct, hell, anyone in their right mind would start there. Are they reading it? You might not agree with the conclusions at http://www.whatreallyhappened.com, but you have to admit it's not a joke. There's serious stuff in there, thousands of points that, at the very least, need to be investigated. If you were OFFICIALLY STUDYING the events of 9/11, you'd have to consider it. 
    Send them "those sneaky bastards dot org" and "don't let them get away with it dot net" and all the shit you know they're not even going to look at because why do research when you're writing fiction? The idea isn't to get some factual material into the report but to have proof they knew before the report came out. Keep the sent letter as proof that the commission was in possession of the information sent. You'll need it some day. Construct your own chain of evidence that they knew everything, before the study was released, because you told them.
 
Oh, and by the way. Congratulations, you may be one of the 80 million Americans already implanted with microchips.

    "Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war. Britain will be 'Siberian' in less than 20 years. Threat to the world is greater than terrorism.
    "Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. A secret report, suppressed by US defense chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world."

Blow it Up
 
Some bastards are thinking of tearing down the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles to build a high school. They claim the site is "historically insignificant," as though the Coconut Grove (where I once saw Mel Tormé) and the assassination of Robert Kennedy (which I heard about somewhere) didn't mean anything. Not to mention it's just fucking beautiful. Stop them.
 
People You Don't Normally Think About
 
They have been gassed. They have been shot and beaten and arrested. They live under constant psychological and physical intimidation. Even when they sleep, their dreams are interrupted by soldiers who come in the middle of the night and make arrests. They're not terrorists. They're not even thinking of blowing themselves up. They're just normal Palestinian women.

    "Bush administration officials ignored expert assessments from three national laboratories in concluding Iraq was seeking to acquire aluminum tubes to make nuclear weapons, a group of scientists charged Wednesday. The administration also has dropped highly qualified, independent scientists from scientific advisory committees on issues such as child lead poisoning, environmental health and drug abuse, replacing them with figures tied to regulated industries, the Union of Concerned Scientists said Wednesday.
    "Sixty scientists signed the statement, including 20 Nobel laureates, accusing the administration of suppressing, distorting and undermining the integrity of scientific analyses in policymaking. The group, organized by the scientific watchdog group, laid out its allegations in a 37-page report."
 
"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast... a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards."

"Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing... Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way."

"[S]anctions and containment were working and everybody pretty much knew it. Many companies around the world were preparing to do business with Iraq in anticipation of a lifting of sanctions. But the U.S. and the U.K. had been bombing northern and southern Iraq since 1991. So it was very unlikely that we would be in any kind of position to gain significant contracts in any post-sanctions Iraq. And those sanctions were going to be lifted soon, Saddam would still be in place, and we would get no financial benefit."

- Jack Slevkoff -
 
    "There are surely drawers full of documents in Washington right now -- the Pentagon Papers of Iraq -- that, if leaked in bulk, would drastically alter the public discourse on whether we should have sent our children to kill and to die in Iraq, and more urgently, whether we should continue to do so.
    "I urge patriotic and conscientious Americans who have access to these documents, and who know it is wrong for their bosses to lie to the public about why we are in this war, to consider doing what I wish I had done in 1964 or early 1965, years earlier than I did: Go to Congress and the press; tell the truth, with documents. The personal risks are real, but a war's worth of lives are at stake."
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams -
 
"The Administration's arguments border on the ludicrous. Does anyone outside the Administration and the junk food industry truly doubt that the consumption and marketing of high-calorie junk food plays a role in obesity and other chronic diseases?"
 
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
- Ayn Rand: The Nature of Government -
 
"It is common to assume that human progress affects everyone - that even the dullest man, in these bright days, knows more than any man of, say, the Eighteenth Century, and is far more civilized. This assumption is quite erroneous... The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge."
- H.L. Mencken -

"The last thing we Martians are about to do is let you barbaric, ill-educated, technologically infantile beings mess up our home.

The Wall Street Poet

Ralph Nader is running for President again. This time as an independent. Oh, goody.

Nader, Ralph Nader

Nader, Ralph Nader, wake up, your time is past,
You've said the things you should have said, what's left is just bombast.
Oh sure, you've still got followers, they'll back another play,
Those sixties era wallowers, o'er whom you still hold sway.
But in truth, truth, truth,
One fact you can't ignore;
You're now unsafe an any speed,
It's time to hit the door.

Nader, Ralph Nader, poor Al you surely felled,
Your net effect the last time out - the Dubya's hopes you swelled.
For you once cheered progressive types, from you polluters fled,
Your ideas seemed important and to fair play they seemed wed.
But Ralphie, dear Ralphie,
You're just so yesterday,
We've seen the peril in your runs,
So please just go away.

Ralph Nader will not listen, like the Ever Ready bunny,
To promote his own agenda he could turn the Dem's hopes gummy.
Having tasted the sweet limelight, from its glare he will not swerve,
Even if another campaign his own causes do not serve.
We saw him in his better days,
We cheered each feisty duel;
How sad, poor Ralph now seems intent
To play the bloody fool.

God Told Me Andrew Is Correct

Andy Rooney

Andy Rooney set the phone and e-mail lines at CBS buzzing over his commentary — in which he said God was speaking through him — calling Mel Gibson and the Rev. Pat Robertson "wackos."

On Sunday's broadcast, Rooney commented on Robertson's January statement that he believes God has told him that resident Bush would be re-elected in a "blowout" in November.

Rooney said God had spoken to him, saying, "I wish you'd tell your viewers that both Pat Robertson and Mel Gibson strike me as wackos."

"They're crazy as bedbugs, another earthly expression," Rooney said, quoting God. "I created bedbugs. I tell you, they're no crazier than people."

Donates $5M to Morehouse College

Oprah Winfrey

Talk-show host Oprah Winfrey has given Morehouse College another $5 million donation to fund scholarships at the Atlanta school.

So far, scholarships funded by the talk-show host have helped about 250 students continue or complete their education, Durham said.

Winfrey said her original goal had been to put 100 students through school. She told the audience Saturday that she now wants to see 1,000 students get their diplomas.

French Cartoon Case

'Finding Nemo'

A French judge's chamber was turned into a screening room Monday as U.S. studio Disney defended itself against accusations by author Franck Le Calvez that they copied his ideas in its film "Finding Nemo."

Lawyers for his small publisher Flaven Scene have applied for an injunction to prevent Disney from distributing children's books and merchandise featuring the fish Nemo, saying it closely resembles Le Calvez's creation, Pierrot the Clown Fish.

Counsel for Disney said the charges of trademark infringement were unfounded because Nemo's likeness could not be considered a brand in its own right.

The judge said he would rule on the injunction request on March 12 ahead of a full civil court trial on the merits of the case, scheduled for November.

How Old Is He?

Ashton Kutcher

Baby-faced actor Ashton Kutcher may be older than he's admitting. The Hollywood Hunk claims he just turned 26 which the National Enquirer thought sounded fishy.

So they did the math and then, they went digging.

They found that Kutcher's California voter records and birth records in his Iowa hometown show he was born in 1974.

That makes him 30, not 26. So far, no comment from the aging actor.

Still a Team

Stiller & Meara

After 50 years of marriage, with both careers still going strong, Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller remain each other's biggest fan.

"He's an amazing guy! The audience loves him," says Meara, meaning Stiller as the raucous father-in-law on the hit sitcom "King of Queens" (airing 9 p.m. EST Wednesdays on CBS).

"Yeah, whatever," murmurs Stiller, who moments later is singing Meara's praises as a comedienne, first evidenced, he says, a half-century ago when the aspiring actress instantly got the hang of the improv group she and Stiller had joined.

All the more remarkable: "When we started dating," Meara says, "I was down on comedians. Growing up, I loved drama and fantasies. I hated the Marx Brothers. I took all that confusion seriously."

Lunching with a reporter at a swank restaurant near their Upper West Side home, they exhibit a warm, if often kidding, give-and-take — and an aversion to putting on airs.

For the rest, Stiller & Meara

Collapsed On Stage

Bobby Vinton

Singer Bobby Vinton collapsed onstage Sunday night at a performance in central Pennsylvania, but his condition apparently improved backstage and he refused hospitalization, officials said.

Vinton, 68, had been performing at the American Music Theatre in Lancaster for about an hour when he sat down beside the piano player and dropped his head toward the keys.

Vinton, a native of the Pittsburgh suburb of Canonsburg, recovered backstage and later joined his family at a nearby hotel, the Intelligencer Journal of Lancaster reported.

French Resistance Heroine Finally Honored

Nancy Wake

Australian veterans described as "better late than never" Canberra's decision to finally bestow an award on Nancy Wake, the Australian French Resistance fighter who became one of the most decorated heroines of World War II.

Wake will receive Australia's highest civilian honor -- the Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) -- next month in London where she lives in failing health, the government announced late Sunday.

Returned Serviceman's League national president Bill Crews told reporters successive governments had been "technically correct" in not giving Wake an award because she was not born in Australia and never fought as an Australian servicewoman.

Australia had been conspicuously absent among its wartime allies in recognising Wake's contributions as a secret agent in France and Britain.

With the George Medal, Legion d'honneur, Croix de Guerre, French Resistance Medal and US Medal of Freedom, the 91-year-old was the Allied Forces' most decorated servicewoman of the war.

Officials from the National Institute of Culture said the two mummies- a young boy and a man in his mid-30s - were at least 700 years old. They came from a culture that predated the Incas, who dominated a vast swathe of South America from Colombia to Chile until being toppled by Spanish conquerors in the 1530s.

'Das Boot' Star Jailed

Martin Semmelrogge

Martin Semmelrogge, a German actor who starred in Wolfgang Petersen's film "Das Boot" and Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List," was convicted Monday of driving without a license and sent to jail for 10 months.

The 48-year-old, who played fast-talking Lieutenant Schmitz in the 1980 film "Das Boot" and had a smaller roll as "Willi Riesenhuber" in Spielberg's 1993 film, was given the 10-month jail term without probation because he was a repeat offender.

Semmelrogge was caught without a license when stopped in April for speeding through Berlin in a Porsche. It was his 30th booking for a road traffic offence. The judge said she sent him to jail because he was a "classic example of someone who repeatedly violates probation."

Sidewalk Project

Henrik Ibsen

Along the very sidewalks where the great Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen once strolled, quotes from his plays will soon be engraved in celebration of the 100th anniversary of his death, the Ibsen Foundation said.

The quotes, written in Norwegian and engraved in metallic letters, will cover the sidewalks that link Ibsen's home, which has been transformed into a museum, to the Grand Cafe, where he ate lunch every day, and on to Oslo's National Theater, where his plays continue to be performed to this day.

The Sidewalk Project, created by two Swedish artists who have already immortalized Swedish author August Strindberg's quotes along a Stockholm pedestrian street, is set to conclude in 2006 on the 100th anniversary of Ibsen's death.

In Memory

Joe Viterelli

Joe Viterelli, a stocky actor whose pug-face helped him land a series of roles as lovable mugs in mob flicks that included "Analyze This" and its sequel, has died. He was 66.

Viterelli, of Los Angeles, died of complications from heart surgery at Valley Hospital in Las Vegas on Jan. 29, his son, film composer Joseph Vitarelli, who spells his last name differently than his father, told The Associated Press Monday.

A New York City native, Viterelli moved to Los Angeles in the late 1970s. He became friends with director Leo Penn, who thought Viterelli's tough-guy features would play well in movies and television.

Viterelli declined, but years later, the director's son, Sean Penn, called about his 1990 gangster tale "State of Grace."

Viterelli accepted the role and established himself as a dependable character actor, appearing in several dozen movies, including "Bullets Over Broadway," "Mobsters" and "Shallow Hal."

He originated his best-known role as Robert De Niro's ominously likable henchman Jelly in 1999's "Analyze This," reprising the part in the 2002 follow-up "Analyze That."

Viterelli is survived by his wife, Catherine, and their five children.

In Memory

Bart Howard

Bart Howard, a songwriter and pianist best known for his composition Fly Me to the Moon, died Saturday in Carmel, N.Y. He was 88.

The cause was complications from a stroke, said Thomas Fowler, his companion of 58 years.

Born in Burlington, Iowa, Howard moved to Los Angeles in 1934 with dreams of writing music for movies. He later relocated to New York, where singer Mabel Mercer added his song If You Leave Paris to her repertoire. From 1941 to 1945, he served as a musician in the army.

Fly Me to the Moon - also known as In Other Words - first gained fame in 1960, when Peggy Lee sang it on The Ed Sullivan Show. Two years later, it was a hit in instrumental form for conductor Joe Harnell.

His other well-known songs included Let Me Love You and Don't Dream of Anybody but Me.

Howard was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999.
