The lists come from folders in my current email, as of March 12, 2007, so now you know why I'm always behind and I'll get back to you. Each issue of Disinfotainment Today is created almost entirely by cutting and pasting within Outlook Express, with occasional forays into the WWWilderness to verify.
Have your email program redirect all that email to one folder called NEWS. Create subdirectories like the ones below, or just let them pile up every time you get your mail.
Start the new issue by forwarding the last issue, then just replace the old stuff with new stuff from the NEWS folder. The big stupid question you ask yourself before going to the NEWS folder is "Since I can't possibly read all this, in what order will I go through it?" Do it differently every time you look. Make it as random as possible. How about by size, largest first? That gets you the most graphics. Then alphabetically by subject. Then reverse chronologically by sender. Then smallest first. Let the random element decide what gets your attention. Stop when the issue gets to about 350KB, or when you simply can't stand it any more. Never get to more than 10% or your head will explode and someone will have to clean up.
Plus, of course, every spammer in the galaxy, making real news often indistinguishable from blather.
And that's all there is to it. Now you can put together your very own issue of Disinfotainment Today, kill me, take my place, and don't tell anyone, well, okay, maybe one.
Here's Google's translation of a German review of the film Laurel Canyon.
Laurel Canyon is called the road, which leads musicians by the heart of the Hollywood Hills in L.A. and to their adjacents resident for decades mainly and Bohemians belong. Calculated here - into that house of its eternal Hippie nut/mother empties Jane allegedly - it pulls to the solid Harvard graduates SAM and its engaged Alex. First surprise: The two are not in their provisional home at the Laurel Canyon alone. Jane is here still busy with the admission of a hit single for rising skirt volume. SAM was always Janes of carefree Sex, Drugs & skirt n roll Lifestyle an atrocity. The fact that it has volume, Ian, an affair with the substantially younger singer that does not make the thing better. When the two completely different worlds, Alex feels one on the other-stout drawn to Ian and Jane ever more, while SAM looks for more and more the proximity of its attractive colleague Sara, the world stands for head suddenly - and their relationship on the play for both.
That's 20 Bucks Extra
"Federal prosecutors want to gag an indicted former Washington, D.C. madam who has recently threatened to go public with details about her former customers."
"The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves."

"Well, Mr. Bush, Jr. I have some impertinent questions for you. Mr. President, Sir, when reporter Bob Woodward asked you if you had consulted with your father before ordering our army into Iraq you said, 'No, he's not the father you call on a decision like this. I talked to my heavenly Father above.' My question, Mr. President: If God asked you to bombard, invade and occupy Iraq for four years, why did he send an opposite message to the Pope? Did you not know that your father, George Bush, Sr., his Secretary of State James Baker and his National Security Advisor General Scowcroft were all opposed to your invasion? Wouldn't you, our troops, the American people and the Iraqis all be much better off if you had listened to your more experienced elders including your earthly father? Instead of blaming God for the awful catastrophe you have unleashed in Iraq, wouldn't it have been less self-righteous if you had fallen back on the oft-quoted explanation of wrongdoing, 'The devil made me do it?'"
"We've almost begun to take it for granted that climate change is a man-made phenomenon. But just as the environmental lobby think they've got our attention, a group of naysayers have emerged to slay the whole premise of global warming."
"In that period of maximum confusion, of poverty and social disorder, of betrayal, violence, unpunished crimes and every sort of illegality, the bishops' pastoral letters to the faithful went on discussing, preferably, such themes as women's immodest dress, promiscuous bathing on the beaches, new dances of exotic origin, and traditional bad language. That evasion, on the part of shepherds who had always claimed the moral leadership of their flock, was an intolerable scandal."
"Sixty percent of Americans can't name five of the Ten Commandments, and 50% of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were married. Stephen Prothero, chairman of the religion department at Boston University, isn't laughing. Americans' deep ignorance of world religions their own, their neighbors' or the combatants in Iraq, Darfur or Kashmir is dangerous, he says.
"His new book, Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know and Doesn't, argues that everyone needs to grasp Bible basics, as well as the core beliefs, stories, symbols and heroes of other faiths...
"'If you want to be involved, you need to know what they're saying. We're doomed if we don't understand what motivates the beliefs and behaviors of the rest of the world. We can't outsource this to demagogues, pundits and preachers with a political agenda.'...
"Prothero's solution is to require middle-schoolers to take a course in world religions and high schoolers to take one on the Bible. Biblical knowledge also should be melded into history and literature courses where relevant. He wants all college undergrads to take at least one course in religious studies...
"[I]t's the widely misunderstood 1963 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that may have been the tipping point: It removed devotional Bible reading from the schools but spelled out that it should not have been removed from literature and history.
"'The decision clearly states you can't be educated without it, but it scared schools so much they dropped it all,' Goff says."
"In November of 2005, Congress eliminated funding for the development of the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator a provocative bunker buster weapon intended for use against hardened enemy targets. But the push for new nuclear weapons has not ended. The Bush Administration has proposed a new weapons program, the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) aimed at building new and improved nuclear warheads. Congress voted to spend over $20 million on the fledgling program in FY 07 - with projected spending in the tens of billions if the program continues.
"Ostensibly, the goal of the RRW program is to increase the reliability and security of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by building a new generation of warheads. As stated by leaders in the weapons industry, the ultimate hope is to move from a program of warhead refurbishment to one of warhead replacement. In other words, the nuclear weapons labs are hoping to move from the mundane maintenance of existing nuclear warheads to the more stimulating design of new nuclear weapons...
"[T]he RRW program presents several immediate problems. To begin with, it would drastically damage the international credibility of the United States especially at a time when the U.S. is pressuring Iran and North Korea to give up their nuclear programs. Indeed, it will be extremely difficult for the U.S. to maintain a legitimate position on non-proliferation when it seeks to build a new generation of nuclear weapons. Emerging nuclear states will view U.S. foreign policy as hypocritical, and even worse, non-nuclear states may interpret the United States renewed commitment to warhead production as a reaffirmation of the legitimacy of nuclear weapons in the 21st century. As a result, these non-nuclear states may pursue their own weapons programs in an effort to gain power and recognition on the international stage."
"This particular document discusses the history of apprenticeships - especially the role of medieval guilds - and attempts to make a case for nations which heretofore have cherished liberal economic ideas (i.e., individual economic freedom) to return to a system of cooperative economic solutions (the guild system used in the Middle Ages which accepted very young children from farms and cities and trained them in necessary skills). Another word for this is serfdom. Had our elected officials at the federal, state, and local levels read this document, they could never have voted in favor of socialist/fascist legislation implementing workforce training to meet the needs of the global economy. Unless, of course, they happen to support such a totalitarian economic system. (This incredible document was accessed here.)
"In the fall of l972 a small group of students, in an introduction to educational psychology class at a Midwestern university, saved every single soul in [an imaginary] lifeboat. The professor became agitated. No! Go back and do the exercise again. Follow the instructions. The students, products of the radical 1960s culture, expected this to be a small group assignment in creativity and ingenuity. They had worked out an intricate plan whereby everyone in the lifeboat could survive. When the professor persisted, the students resisted - and ultimately refused to do the exercise. Chalk up a victory to the human spirit. However, it was a short-lived victory. This overloaded lifeboat in crisis represented a dramatic shift in education."

Disinfotainment Today is apparently for free and seems to appear weekly, but don't hold my feet to the fire. Something more important could come up. In any case, go ahead, reproduce it daily, I dare you, or hourly, what the fuck. Go ye forth and cut and paste and cut and paste and see what you end up with, just like reality! Disinfotainment Today consists of information from so many sources you'd have to make a graph, then print it out on small pieces of paper which are blasted out the window by sudden hot winds that blow your door open, spread across the desert, and collected by immigrant workers who make WAY below legal minimum. Just like reality, everything is everywhere, so I apologize if some of this isn't what you expected. The higher you get your hopes up, the further you have to fall, so let me assure you that next week's issue is going to be really crappy. Some say what you take is what you get. I say what you get is what you take. Let's all influence each other with free access to what we do, acknowledging or not, at your discretion, since much of everything that everybody does all day, every waking second, is unacknowledgeable, and if everyone had to seek permission from all their influences, artistic progress would grind to a standstill. Legally, it's either satire or fair use, but only if you want to be a dick about it.
Tully Satre: It's just a word (advocate.com)
We are advocating for the wrong thing. We should be establishing the fundamental principles for same-sex couples that come in marriage contracts, not getting wrapped up in the word marriage itself. According to nationwide polls, American voters support granting marriage-like rights to same-sex couples.
Michael Jensen: Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (afterelton.com)
No, that's not the answer to the question, "Name an activist, an actor, and an abomination against nature." But all three have been in the news this week: Hattoy and Inman because they are dead, and Ann because she personifies the soulless, living dead. Actually, my favorite description of Ann comes from my very own partner Brent who describes her as "a vinyl skin encasing a mass of writhing snakes and spiders" (he's not a novelist for nothing!).
John Polly: Interview With Elvira Kurt (afterellen.com)
Weddings are occasions custom-built for messy mishaps and high drama. So many expectations, so many raw emotions, so many loopy family members coming together. Is it any wonder that TV shows about wedding planning catastrophes or brides-gone-bad thrive? Adding a bit of humor and Zen-like charm to this high-strung world is Logo's take on the wedding planning genre, First Comes Love.
LeeAnn Kriegh: Interview With "Bad Girls" Creator Maureen Chadwick (afterellen.com)
The year after Ellen DeGeneres came out and was promptly booted off television in the United States, network television in the U.K. took a decidedly more progressive turn thanks to lesbians Maureen Chadwick, Eileen Gallagher and Ann McManus, along with Brian Park. The four quit their prior jobs, formed an independent production company called Shed Productions, and took out a £5 million loan. Then they did the unthinkable, sinking all their money as well as their reputations into a women's prison drama called Bad Girls - which they had the gall to build around a burgeoning, multiseason lesbian romance.
Jenny Stewart: Belinda talks (advocate.com)
Belinda Carlisle is now living happily in France with her husband and 15-year-old son. She still tours with the Go-Gos, but her new album, Voila-her first solo effort in over 10 years-is a polished, sexy reworking of all-French pop classics. And it's actually pretty great.
Elayne Boosler: Remembering Comedian Richard Jeni (huffingtonpost.com)
On a blog dedicated to the search for truth, justice, and original thinking, it is only fitting to remember one whose life's work was dedicated to the same. Of course, he made his points with such incredible humor and insight, his arguments were irresistible. On religious wars, "You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend."

Helping women to understand their rights is crucial in the fight against HIV/AIDS, said Ashley Judd in an interview published Monday.
Grass-roots prevention programs that target women work well, the 38-year-old Hollywood actress told the Mumbai-based DNA newspaper.
Judd is representing Population Services International, a Washington-based nonprofit organization, during her weeklong visit to India to promote awareness about HIV/AIDS.
She met sex workers in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, after her arrival Saturday. Aid workers estimate there are at least 10,000 sex workers in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.
Kris Kristofferson, who has written some of country music's most enduring hits, will receive CMT's Johnny Cash Visionary Award, the cable network announced Monday.
Rosanne Cash, Cash's daughter, will present the honor to the 70-year-old singer-songwriter during the April 16 awards show in Nashville. Previous recipients include Cash, Hank Williams Jr., Loretta Lynn, Reba McEntire and the Dixie Chicks.
"John was my hero before he was my friend, and anything with his name on it is really an honor in my eyes," Kristofferson said during a recent phone interview from Atlanta.

About 100 Venezuelans, mostly Chavez's supporters, protested against Bush's visit to Latin America.

"Rocky Mountain High," the late John Denver's love letter to his adopted state, became Colorado's second official song Monday.
Sen. Bob Hagedorn, who pushed for the second tune, said "Rocky Mountain High" has been an unofficial state song for years and has introduced many people around the world to Colorado.
He said West Virginia adopted Denver's song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" - with its opening line of "Almost heaven, West Virginia" - as a second song in addition to an older state tune.
"Even if John Denver thought West Virginia was almost heaven, he chose Colorado to live," said Hagedorn, a Democrat from the Denver suburb of Aurora.
For some people, Cyndi Lauper's classic 'True Colors' is just another love song.
But as Lauper learned from reading fans' letters, for others, the song's lyrics about letting "your true colors shine through" had a much deeper meaning.
"A lot of people were saying that when it came out (in 1986) they were teenagers and they were coming out," says Lauper, a longtime gay rights supporter. "They were disowned by their family and their friends and their jobs got all messed up and they were totally alone, and suicidal, and then they heard `True Colors' and it made them feel hopeful."
So it's fitting that Lauper, 53, is one of the headliners on the new "True Colors" tour, which will hit major cities nationwide to promote gay rights. Other performers for the 15-city event, which kicks off in Las Vegas on June 8 and ends in Los Angeles on June 30, are Deborah Harry, Erasure and Margaret Cho.
Regis Philbin, co-host of "Live With Regis and Kelly," announced on Monday's show that he will have heart bypass surgery this week.
"Well, listen, I gotta tell you something. ... I had been feeling chest pains, you know, and, uh, shortness of breath and all those little symptoms that you hear about," Philbin, 75, told his TV audience. After a number of tests, doctors recommended bypass surgery.
Philbin said he was hoping to have angioplasty because "you know, you get in - bang, bang, bang - they blow it open and you leave the next day." But, he said, "there's some plaque in some arteries and I've got to get it cleaned out."
"Darn it, I don't want to do it," Philbin said. "Nobody wants to do it, I guess. And I had a second opinion, I did all those things, and so they're all in agreement that it should be the bypass. And so that's what I'm gonna do."
A sculpture by French artist Jean-Pierre Rives is exhibited on Perth's Cottesloe Beach as part of the Sculptures by the Sea art exhibition in this March 10, 2007 picture. Around 50 metal works by local and international artists are showcased in the exhibition, which is the western states' answer to the similar exhibition held annually on Sydney's famed Bondi Beach.
A car carrying The Drifters, whose hits include "Under The Boardwalk" and "Saturday Night At The Movies," collided with another vehicle which had swerved to avoid an animal, believed to be a deer, on the M1 motorway.
All four band members, Peter Lamarr, Victor Bynoe, Rohan Turney and Patrick Alan were taken to hospital.
Alan, who suffered a head injury is still being treated but the others, including Turney who dislocated his shoulder, were able to return to London.
The accident happened as the group returned from a concert in Newcastle in the early hours of the morning.
Sylvester Stallone was formally charged in an Australian court on Tuesday with importing 48 vials of banned human growth hormone into Australia when he visited last month to promote his film Rocky Balboa.
Stallone, who is believed to be filming his latest Rambo film in Thailand, was not required to appear in the Sydney court.
The case was adjourned until April 24, when Stallone will enter a plea.

Levon Helm, former drummer for The Band, is suing a Manhattan advertising firm over the use of the band's signature song, "The Weight," in a television commercial.
In a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court in December, Helm asks for information about BBDO Worldwide's profits from the commercial for Cingular cell phone service and for financial compensation for the use of his performance.
Helm's attorney, Michael Pinsky said Helm received a royalty payment from the use of "The Weight" in the commercial, but doesn't feel he has been adequately compensated.
Snoop Dogg was held by police overnight on suspicion of using illegal narcotics but was released after questioning and drug tests, a police spokesman said Monday.
The artist was heading to a party after a concert in the Swedish capital when police stopped the car he was riding in around 1:30 a.m., said Matts Brannlund, of the Stockholm police. He said Snoop Dogg and a female companion showed signs of drug use and were taken to a police station.
A small amount of narcotics also was found in the car, but Brannlund could not specify which kind of drug and he said it was unclear whether it belonged to Snoop Dogg.
Snoop Dogg was released shortly after 5 a.m. but could face a fine if his drug test comes back positive, Brannlund said.
Water flows into Lake Eyre, Australia's biggest lake, as the country's outback is set for a rare blooming with a tropic floodtide pouring south, triggering an explosion of bird and fish life in place of arid salt flats, in this March 7, 2007 picture. As severe drought continues in the populated Australian east, northern monsoon floods are beginning a once-a-decade filling of the Lake Eyre basin, which covers an area bigger than France, Germany and Italy.

The loan of one of Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings to Japan has caused an uproar in Italy and one senator chained himself to the gates of Florence's Uffizi Gallery on Monday in protest at the transfer.
Center-right Senator Paolo Amato says the "Annunciation" is simply too precious and delicate to be sent abroad.
Inside the Uffizi, the painting was packed into three high-tech protective crates fitted with shock-absorbers and sensors measuring temperature and humidity levels.
It will be driven in a truck under police escort to Rome and then fly to Tokyo on Tuesday to be displayed as the centerpiece of "Italian Spring" -- a three-month long series of exhibitions and events celebrating Italian art and products.
Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found naked, bound and drunk, according to Israeli media reports confirmed Monday by a government spokeswoman.
The longtime diplomat, Tsuriel Raphael, has been removed from his post and the Foreign Ministry has begun searching for a replacement, said ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel.
Two weeks ago, El Salvador police found Raphael in the yard of his residence, tied up, gagged with a ball and drunk, Israeli media reported. He was wearing sex bondage equipment, the media said. After he was untied, Raphael told police he was the ambassador of Israel, the reports said.
Last year, Israel replaced its ambassador to Australia, Naftali Tamir, after he said Israel and Australia are "like sisters" because both are located in Asia and their peoples don't have the Asian characteristics of "yellow skin and slanted eyes."
All U.S. households with televisions that use analog technology will be eligible for $40 discount coupons to buy digital converter boxes, the Commerce Department said on Monday.
U.S. television stations are required to switch to only digital broadcasts by February 17, 2009. An estimated 20 million households now rely solely on free over-the-air television.
Analog televisions could go dark at that time if owners do not get a converter box, subscribe to satellite or digital cable, or replace their TV with a digital television.
An online gambling site is taking bets on whether Heather Mills' artificial leg will fall off during her upcoming appearance on "Dancing with the Stars."
Mills, 39, the estranged wife of Beatle Paul McCartney, lost her left leg below the knee in a traffic accident in 1993. She is the first contestant on the hit ABC television show to compete with an artificial limb.
A week before Mills' March 19 debut, Antigua-based gaming site http://www.bodog.com opened bets on whether her prosthetic leg would fly off during a dance routine -- and made "no" a heavy favorite.
The site added that Mills' leg "must fall off, not be purposely taken off, during a dance routine for all Yes wagers to be graded a win."
