Response to Pictures of the "Fence"
 
    "I was shocked to read your outrage over the fact that Israel would 'dare' to put up a wall to prevent its citizens from being murdered by these so-called 'Palestinians.' It's funny how so much of the left (btw I'm a liberal) is silent when it comes to the mass murder of Jews in Israel but finds it so objectionable when Israel acts in self-defense as a result.
    "Furthermore those territories are not 'occupied' by Israel and they don't belong to the 'Palestinians.' Since when is land that is acquired through a war of self-defense an occupation, especially considering that the previous rulers, Jordan, illegally occupied Judea and Samaria (the west bank) between 1948-1967?  I would suggest such clueless ignorant people refrain from commenting on that which they know nothing about. It's truly sad that so many self-proclaimed 'progressives' have sided with the Arab fascist nazis."

Response to Response to Pictures of the "Fence"
 
Dear LIEBS98@aol.com,
 
1) I'm not on anyone's side other than all ordinary people just trying to get on with their lives. The murder of innocent people is wrong under ALL circumstances, whether Palestinians killing Israelis or Israelis killing Palestinians.
 
2) My outrage was not over Israel's decision to defend itself but over the American media's complete misrepresentation of the true nature of the "fence," which takes many shapes.
Check out this story of how the "fence" doesn't just protect Israel from terrorists but literally ruins the Palestinian economy.
 
3) The "fence" doesn't solve the problem, it exacerbates it. Here's a little quiz...
 
If you were to commit suicide by blowing yourself up, it would be because...
 
a) you were happy as a lark.
b) your situation seemed hopeless.
 
If you wanted to stop people from blowing themselves up, you would...
 
a) give them hope.
b) build a fence that separates them from their jobs, their agricultural fields, and the rest of society.
 
The fence makes the lives of Palestinians MORE hopeless. It will cause MORE suicide bombings. It's a BAD idea. For the same cost as the "fence," Israel could give all the Palestinians homes and jobs. Giving hope is the ONLY thing that stops suicide.

Futile Political Action of the Week
 
Mordechai Vanunu told the London Times about Israel's nuclear weapons program. Israel sentenced him to 18 years in prison. He spent more than 11 years in solitary confinement. He gets out next year, but that doesn't mean it's too late to join The U.S. Campaign to Free Mordechai Vanunu.
 
Cartoon of the Week
 
Don't Take My Word For It
 
"If you follow the greater majority on earth they would lead you astray. They follow nothing but the conjectures of others and mislead those who follow them."
- Qur'an, Al-An'am, Surah 6:117-18 -
 
"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. -
 
"As I am, so are others;
as others are, so am I."
- Buddha: Sutta Nipata 705 -
 
"Most intelligent Americans already know you can't trust what you see on the TV news. But it's very important to point that out to your friends and neighbors who think they can. If you base what you believe on what you see on TV, you are guaranteed to be deceived. From the perspective of the future, I see Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Wolf Blitzer as stick figure puppets dancing on the strings of their masters, mouthing false words scripted by drooling demons counting their money in advance of their latest robbery. How else can one explain the total absence of the most important issues to all humanity on the TV news?"
 
"What the Republicans pieced together is the most deceptive measure Washington has produced in years. It masquerades as a $350 billion, ten-year tax cut. But many of its central provisions expire within a few years, not ten. Since no one expects a future Congress and president to let these tax cuts expire, the real cost of the bill--which, to start with, is severely tilted toward the wealthy--will top $800 billion and possibly reach $1 trillion."
- David Corn: Where's the Outrage? -
 
    "Recent suicide bombings in Riyadh and Casablanca proved with bloody eloquence that Al Qaeda and similar extremist groups are anything but 'on the run,' as George W. Bush puts it. Bush's tactics are a 100 percent failure, yet his band of clueless Christian soldiers continues to go after mosquitoes with shotguns. 'So far,' Bush furiously spun after the latest round of attacks, 'nearly one-half of Al Qaeda's senior operatives have been captured or killed,' promising to 'remain on the hunt until they are all brought to justice.' 
    "Can Bush really be this stupid? All underground organizations, including Al Qaeda, employ a loose hierarchical structure. No individual member is indispensable, so the capture of even a high-ranking official cannot compromise the group. Each lost member is instantly replaced by the next man down in his cell. It doesn't matter whether we catch half, three-quarters or all of Al Qaeda's leadership--hunting down individual terrorists is an expensive and pointless game of whack-a-mole. Only Allah knows how many eager recruits have sprung up, hydra-like, to fill Khalid Sheikh Mohammad's flip-flops."
 
"Hitler was a troubled, difficult person, but there is no evidence of any genuine insanity or psychosis (see Dr. Fritz Redlich's excellent study, "Hitler, Diagnosis of a Destructive Prophet"). It is precisely this fact that made him, and makes those like him, all the more dangerous. It is easy to dismiss a genuine lunatic."

"More collect phone calls are made on Father's Day than on any other day of the year. Dads take the call, on Father's Day or any other day. And pay for it. All dads are brothers who know what it's like to one moment be the pride of the state and in the next find your self in an isolated state."

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.  But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished how much he had learned in seven years."
- Mark Twain -
 
"There is only one way to defeat the enemy, and that is to write as well as one can. The best argument is an undeniably good book."
- Saul Bellow -
 
"Turns of speech conceal mediocre affections: as if the fullness of the soul might not sometimes overflow in the emptiest of metaphors, since no one, ever, can give the exact measurements of his needs, nor of his conceptions, nor of his sufferings, and the human word is like an outworn, battered timbal upon which we beat out melodies fit for making bears dance when we are trying to move the stars to pity."

"Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear"
- Karl Kraus -
 
"We were simply wrong. It was a surprise to me then, it remains a surprise to me now, that we have not uncovered [nuclear, chemical or biological] weapons. Believe me, it's not for lack of trying. We've been to virtually every ammunition supply point between the Kuwait border and Baghdad, but they're simply not there."

"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
- Jesus Christ: The Gospel of Thomas -
 
"Facts must be distorted, relevant circumstances concealed, and a picture presented which by its crude coloring will persuade the ignorant people that their Government is blameless, their cause is righteous, and that the indisputable wickedness of the enemy is beyond question. A moment's reflection would tell any reasonable person that such obvious bias cannot possibly represent the truth. But the moment's reflection is not allowed; lies are circulated with great rapidity. The unthinking mass accept them and by their excitement sway the rest. The amount of rubbish and humbug that pass under the name of patriotism in wartime in all countries is sufficient to make decent people blush when they are subsequently disillusioned."
- Arthur Ponsonby: Falsehood in Wartime, 1928 -
 
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
- George Orwell: Politics And The English Language -
 
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, they send forth a ripple of hope, and crossing each other, from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current, that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

TV Show of the Week
Crossing Under
(The show for those with loved ones in Hell)

By Ian Wolff
© 2003

   
"I'm getting something about a person that abused alcohol and died young from liver disease," said psychic extraordinaire, Ian Wolff, causing several audience members to raise their hands.
    "That's my brother!" shouted a woman in the front row.
    "No way!" blurted the gentleman seated directly behind her. "That's my ex-wife."
    "Impossible!" cried a lady from the back of the hall. "That's my husband, Waldo!"
    "Well I'll be darned," I replied, while feigning shock. "Now that you mention it, I am getting a Waldo kind of feeling."
    "Is he here with me now?" queried the woman.
    "Yes," I replied. "He's sprawled out right behind you, in a puddle of acid reflux. Does that sound familiar to you?"
    "Oh yes, yes indeed!" she decried, as tears welled in her eyes. "That's my Waldo alright!"
    "Is there anything that you'd like me to tell him?" I asked.
    "Yes," replied the woman. "Tell that no good suds-sucking loser that I used the money from his life insurance policy to pay for my wedding to his brother."
    "He knows that," I replied, "and he's asked me to tell you that, as we speak, Satan is preparing your room."

    The woman slumped back down into her chair as the crowd buzzed with whispered accolades such as:
   
"He's good."
    "He's the real thing."
    "He's no charlatan."

   
    Emboldened by their lavish praises, I studiously pressed onwards.

    "I'm getting something about someone who had a criminal background and frequently used God's name in vain," I announced. "Does this ring a bell with anyone here?"
   
    The entire hall exploded with a virtual plethora of claimants.

    "That's my father!"
    "That's my uncle!"
    "That's my parish priest!" etc...

    The last of which I leapt upon with a vengeance. "Yes!" I bellowed. "Now that you mention it, I am hearing something like "I was unfairly defrocked."
    "He's not behind me right now, is he?" gasped the young man, while nervously fidgeting with the hoisting and subsequent tightening of his trousers.
    "Not at the moment," I replied.
    "Thank goodness," sighed the lad.
    "Only when you're asleep," I added, causing the young man to dart from the hall whilst shrieking a chorus of highly unrepeatable profanities.

    Never one to suffer a lull when on a roll, I once again and without a moments hesitation -- blazed on.

    "I'm sensing someone who -- during their earthly existence, committed several marital infidelities. Does this sound familiar to anyone he-"

    Needless to say -- this particular query was rudely interrupted by a monstrous cacophony of shrilled cries.
    "That has got to be my Louise!"
    "You're crazy, that's my Frankie all over!"
    "You're both nuts!" shouted the stringently bald gentleman seated just astride me. "That's my Peggy, sure as I live and breathe. She turned more tricks than David Copperfield!"
    "Yes!" I proclaimed, while scratching at my chin. "Now that you mention it - I am hearing the name Peggy, and, if I'm not mistaken - I also smell the pungent aroma of a perfume that's best known to retired ex-graduates of The Naval Academy."
     "That's my Peggy for sure!" blubbered the poor little man, through a storm of nose bubble inducing tears. "Is she here with me now?" he pressed.
    "No," I replied. "It's Fleet Week in Hell, the kid's busy."

    The hall roared its approval-

    "He's amazing!" they chimed. "He's the real deal!"

    Up rose the chant -

    "Go Ian, go Ian, go Ian - you go Wolff!"

    Eat your heart out, John Edwards.

 
History Lesson from Hell
 
From Sacramento Business Journal - November 26, 2001:
 
Media Exec Hopes to Cash in on TV Consolidation 
 
    Frank Washington, the CEO of System Integrators Inc. until the Sacramento  newspaper-software company was sold in June 2000, heads a new company these days  called Moon Shot Communications. And his new goal is to make a lot of money in the next several years by buying TV stations across the country, waiting for their value to increase, and then selling them to the highest bidders. 
    Washington believes the stations will command higher prices if the Federal  Communications Commission loosens rules limiting the number of broadcast TV  stations a media company can own in the same market -- a change he expects to  happen over the next few years. 
    The change would uncork a consolidation-driven buying frenzy like the one that began in radio 10 years ago. By buying now and selling later, Moon Shot  would try to pocket some fat capital gains. 
    Washington and four partners are working with investors and the Carlyle Group  of Washington, D.C., a major private-equity firm, to line up stations they might buy. They figure they can assemble groups of TV stations for good deals now, by purchasing TV stations owned mostly by small companies outside large U.S. markets. Washington counts on the sellers not seeing the same potential in their properties that he does.
 
 
Dear Dr. Hollywood,
 
I've been told to put together a "press kit" by an agent interested in me. I've never done this before so I don't know what that means.
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin
 
Kevin,
 
Thank you for braving time and space to contact me.
 
Sounds to me like your agent is acting like a publicist. I have no idea why he would want a press kit on you unless he was trying to drum up some press. Press kits are sent to newspaper or magazine editors in order to induce them to assign a writer to a story, or to writers in order to fill them in on information before an interview so they don't have to ask stupid questions like "Who are you?" Sound like something you need? Were you considering hiring a publicist? Would "publicity" help you in any other way than stroking your ego? I didn't think so. Writers, other than super-famous ones, don't have publicists.
 
I have a feeling he just wants ammo to pitch you, a bio, not a press kit. In case you feel like fulfilling the assignment, simply write about yourself in the second person, as though you were reading an article about yourself. Make yourself sound like the second coming of Preston Sturges. Pretend you've got a book coming out and write what the back cover would say about you that would make people want to read the book. Call the publicity department of ANY studio, tell them you're writing an article about one of their films for such-and-such a magazine or newspaper, and you need a press kit. It's their job to send one to you. Go to ANY site devoted to a film and read the kind of publicity bullshit posted all over the place. There's always a bio of the writer. Include actual quotes from other people about yourself. Try to remember every good thing that anyone has ever said about you and quote them. Include a picture where you don't look like Norman Mailer.

Long Gone John, Indie Rock's Anti-Mogul

A Label All His Own

The reclusive indie rock entrepreneur known as Long Gone John is rummaging around his backyard warehouse, searching cardboard boxes on wood shelves that reach to the ceiling. Every box is filled with CDs or seven-inch singles, most of them by punk and retro-rock bands with names you've never heard of: Savage Pencil, Loafin Hyenas, Crowbar Salvation. He stops searching when he comes across a 45 by a band called Servotron.

"See this?" he asks, proudly handing over a copy. "I had this pressed on special silver vinyl. It's really expensive. I lost a lot of money on it."

There aren't many businessmen who crow about failures, but there aren't many businesses like Sympathy for the Record Industry, a label based in a tree-shrouded house in this shoreline city south of Los Angeles. Since 1988, Long Gone John has been Sympathy's CEO and sole employee, a self-described "anti-mogul" releasing obscure rock at a rate that seems frenzied for a one-man company. The tally so far: 280 CDs and 400 vinyl singles from 550 bands. At its peak of production, Sympathy issued a new album or single every week.

For the rest, A Label All His Own

Kip


Thanks, Kip!

Takes Open-Ended Break From TV

David Letterman

Among the many mysteries of David Letterman: how much time he's planning to take off this summer.

The CBS "Late Show" host turned over the reins to guest host Tom Arnold on Friday. Letterman's spokesman, Steven Rubenstein, said Monday that Letterman will make up his mind whether he's taking more time off as he goes along.

"I've worked since I was 11 years old," Letterman said on his show last week. "And I just feel like it's summer now, I'd like to take a day off."

He told band leader Paul Shaffer that he had "T.A.S.," or "tired ass syndrome."

The oddity is that Letterman rarely works Fridays anyway. He generally tapes his Thursday and Friday shows back to back on Thursday evening — so, by skipping Friday, he's basically leaving the office a few hours earlier.

Online Fans Speak

'Give 'Em Hell, Martha'

It's only been a few days since Martha Stewart was indicted, but almost 42,000 of her staunchest fans have been to her Web site to vent their outrage and profess, in syrupy prose, her starchy-white innocence.

Last Wednesday, Stewart, looking tired but impeccably turned out, was indicted on five counts of securities fraud and lying to federal investigators among other things. Within 12 hours, www.marthatalks.com was up and running as she sought to win the battle of public opinion.

Stewart says she is "overwhelmed by the outpouring of support" -- an outpouring she says has yielded 6 million hits on her web site. A company that tracks Internet traffic, comScore Networks XPC, estimates the site had been visited by about 217,000 people by Saturday night.

A spokesman for Stewart's web site said it was "blown away by the way positive feedback has outweighed negative feedback by a ratio of 10 to one."

Hundreds Show For Signing

Hillary Clinton

About 250 people stood in line Monday morning, some after waiting through the night, for the chance to get Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to autograph her new book.

Employees of a Barnes & Noble bookstore in midtown Manhattan began issuing wristbands, like those issued to ticket buyers at rock concerts, to buyers of her "Living History" at 8:30 a.m. for the 11 a.m. book signing.

Only 250 wristbands were being handed out, entitling the wearers to meet the senator during the signing.

In spite of the limit on wristbands, the crowd kept growing on a line behind police barricades near a side entrance to the Fifth Avenue store.

Richard Paice, a 36-year-old lawyer, decided on the spur of the moment to join the book signing line at 8:50 a.m.

"If you think about it, it's a historic moment. She's the smartest person in politics in modern history," said Paice.

For more, Hillary Clinton

They're Back

'V'

Twenty years after NBC's hit sci-fi miniseries "V" invaded the small screen, the network is bringing the aliens back with "V: The Second Generation," a three-hour TV movie from the original creator Kenneth Johnson.

The 1983 "V" (short for Visitors), which spawned a short-lived weekly series on NBC, was a sci-fi allegory of the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1930s.

Several cast members of the miniseries and the weekly series, including Marc Singer, Faye Grant, Jane Badler and Robert Englund, could reprise their roles in the telefilm if it goes into production.

The conclusion of the original mini in May 1983 was the top program for the week, averaging a 27 household rating/40 share. Additionally, "V" enjoyed solid success overseas. Twenty years later, the miniseries continues to be a strong draw as its recent DVD release has quickly become a hot seller, with more than 250,000 units shipped.

After more than 20 years, CNN's Lou Dobbs is retiring the name of "Moneyline."

His nightly news show isn't going anywhere, nor is it changing much, but beginning next Monday, it will be known as "Lou Dobbs Tonight." It airs weeknights at 6 p.m. ET for an hour.

The "Lou Dobbs Moneyline" title "connoted, for too many viewers, a market services show, which it has never been," Dobbs said Monday. The new name better conveys the show's broader focus, he said.

"Lou Dobbs Tonight" will have two new segments: a weekly segment on the military with retired Army Gen. David Grange and periodic "Face Off" debates on pressing issues.

Status of 'NYPD Blue'

Steven Bochco

Most television shows don't find out until mid-May if they won't be back in the fall. By then, it's way too late to wrap up loose storylines and say goodbye to faithful viewers in a final episode.

The executive producer of "NYPD Blue" tells TV Guide he's asked ABC to tell him two months ahead of time, in March, if "Blue" isn't coming back.

Steven Bochco says he wants "time to finish the series with a sense of finality."

British Censors Finally OK Nicholson Movie

'The Trip'

Britain's film censors Monday finally gave the go-ahead after three decades to "The Trip," a 1960s cult film about drugs written by Jack Nicholson.

Starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, the film was originally refused a ratings certificate because of its graphic depiction of drug use.

But the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) now feels that the film merits an 18-certificate because audiences would no longer be convinced by the characters as they embarked on an LSD trip.

Seeks 'Nutcracker' Alumni

School of American Ballet

The School of American Ballet is inviting all those who danced as children in George Balanchine's famous production of "The Nutcracker" over the last 50 years to a gala reunion this December.

The school estimates that more than 2,000 of its students have played Marie, the Prince and assorted candy canes, soldiers and angels since Balanchine's "Nutcracker" premiered on Feb. 2, 1954.

The school is planning a Golden Jubilee Homecoming celebration on Dec. 6 and hopes to have as many alumni as possible attend. Ballerina Maria Tallchief, who was the first Sugarplum Fairy, will be the guest of honor.

"Titanic" star Kate Winslet and "American Beauty" director Sam Mendes have married in a secret ceremony in the Caribbean, said a statement released on behalf of the couple.

"This is to formally announce that Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet married in late May in a very small ceremony whilst on holiday in the West Indies," it said. "Present were Kate Winslet's daughter Mia and three close friends."

The pair have managed to keep a low profile, making their first British public appearance last year at the West End premiere of Mendes's second film, "The Road To Perdition."

Launching Celebrity Wake-Up Service

Pam Anderson

Blond bombshell Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, 35, has signed on to a celebrity wake-up service which allows customers to be gently roused by her dulcet tones for only 7.99 dollars per month.

"Hi, it's Pamela," purrs one of the musically-backed matinal greetings explaining that the star is "filling in for your alarm clock."

"I love animals, they're fuzzy, cute and fun to play with. Are you fun to play with? How about getting down on your hands and knees and barking like a dog. Now get your fuzzy ass out if bed and fetch my slippers.

"Have a great day, you animal," Anderson says.

The Next Paula Zahn?

Soledad O'Brien

CNN has offered NBC and MSNBC anchor Soledad O'Brien the co-anchor slot to replace Paula Zahn on its "American Morning" show alongside Bill Hemmer, sources familiar with the deal said. CNN declined comment.

O'Brien's contract at NBC expires at the end of the month. Zahn will anchor CNN's new "American Evening" program from 7-9 p.m. when the network introduces the show in the summer.

Newsday reported Friday that CNN was "wooing" O'Brien with a $1 million offer, and sources confirmed Friday that the deal had progressed to a firm offer, which she was considering.

Ruminates About Childhood

Patti Davis

Patti Davis, daughter of former President Ronald Reagan, ruminates on her years as a petulant child — and how she's come to appreciate her father's guidance as she's grown older — in a Father's Day essay for Newsweek.

In a home movie showing her as an 11-year-old, Davis writes, "my petulance is obvious as I shrug myself away from my mother's outstretched arm — asserting my will, brandishing my independence."

What wasn't filmed during those years, she writes, was "my father's sad eyes when he tried to tell me how much my behavior hurt my mother."

"Now it is decades later," she says. "I walk with my mother through her garden ... Her pace is slower these days, and I adjust mine accordingly. My father is in the room that has become his corner of the world since Alzheimer's imprisoned him. It's the last room he will see when his eyes close for the final time."

Fan Electrocuted At Concert

Red Hot Chili Peppers/Snoop Dogg

North Carolina officials are looking into what caused a college student to be electrocuted at a Red Hot Chili Peppers/Snoop Dogg concert in Charlotte.

Twenty-six-year-old Ashley Faris was walking barefoot on a wet concrete stairway with metal edges at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre Friday night. He was shocked and died at a nearby hospital. A passer-by who tried to help Faris was treated for electric shock.

The incident happened after Snoop Dogg had performed but before the Chili Peppers took the stage. The show continued as planned and many concert-goers never knew anyone was hurt. Verizon officials say they are investigating.

Buys For 3rd Time

Hughes TV Network

Joseph Cohen bought the Hughes Television Network for the third time.

Cohen, the former president of the Madison Square Garden Network, will become chairman of Hughes Television, he said Monday.

Cohen first acquired Hughes for Madison Square Garden from Paramount Pictures in 1979, then led an investment group that bought Hughes from the Garden in 1986. Three years later, he sold Hughes to IDB Communications Inc., which sold Hughes to French Telecom's Globecast subsidiary in 1995.

NBC Reality Show to Air

'For Love or Money'

On Monday NBC said it would continue to air the reality series "For Love or Money," despite discovering that its star hid the fact he left the U.S. Marine Corps after being disciplined for groping a female officer.

The details of Campos' background first appeared Monday on legal information Web site The Smoking Gun.

The site, citing an account of the incident provided by the female officer in an interview, said Campos rushed into the woman's room and grabbed her breasts. The woman said she struck Campos in the groin with her knee, causing him to enter the woman's bathroom and vomit.

NBC's media site described Campos as a "handsome and charming Dallas defense attorney." Campos' biography on the Web site of the Mathur Law Offices said that after his Marine Corps training, Campos served in the JAG Corps, the military legal branch. But according to the Smoking Gun, Campos was pulled out of Judge Advocate General training after the incident.

MSGOP's Latest Job Training Program

Jesse Ventura

Four months after former Gov. Jesse Ventura ended speculation of what he would do after leaving office by announcing a high-profile deal for his own primetime TV show on MSNBC he still has no permanent presence on the air.

The rumors of difficulty popped up first on the The Drudge Report Web site in early May. The site cited a source "with direct ties to the project" who said rehearsals "have been extremely trying" and that Ventura has been "having just a terrible time."

Days after that report, the St. Paul Pioneer Press media columnist Brian Lambert followed up on the Drudge story by saying that "various camps" were struggling in many ways, from formats to locations.

Lambert concluded in his column that, if Ventura's show was ready for primetime that the slumping MSNBC would have it on the air. He finished his column by saying that Drudge's report would seem far more accurate if MSNBC can't "commit to a premiere date by the end of (May.)"

Six weeks after Lambert's column, the New York Times said the show's executives said it's not "even close to making a debut."

In Memory

Trevor Goddard

Australian actor Trevor Goddard, who played Lt. Cmdr. Mic Brumby on the long-running CBS series "JAG," was found dead at his North Hollywood home of a suspected drug overdose, authorities said on Monday.

Goddard's girlfriend discovered his body lying on a bed at about noon on Sunday, Los Angeles County coroner's office spokesman Craig Harvey said.

A preliminary investigation indicated his death was a possible suicide by an overdose of as-yet unknown "illicit, illegal" drugs, Harvey said.

Notes were discovered at Goddard's home, but investigators did not characterize them as suicide notes, he said. "There was nothing in the notes indicating that he meant to take his life," Harvey said. The notes were addressed to a friend.

Investigators think Goddard died sometime after 9 p.m. on Saturday after having a telephone conversation with a friend from his home, Harvey said. An autopsy is set for Tuesday.

A former professional boxer, Goddard was "discovered" while competing at a light-heavyweight bout and asked to appear in a series of beer commercials, according to his Web site.

He built a career on portraying villains in many of Hollywood's top action movies, including tough-guy Kano in New Line Cinema's "Mortal Kombat."

He was best known to U.S. audiences from his recurring small screen role as Mic Brumby on the military drama "Jag" from 1998 to 2001. Goddard had just completed work on "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
