Scene at the Republican Convention that Wasn't on TV
Dick Cheney stood before the convention with George W. Bush and said "Mr. President, we're going to prove to the world once and for all that you are not stupid. So tell us, what is 15 plus 15?"
Bush, after scrunching up his face and concentrating real hard for a moment, declared, "165!"
Obviously everyone in the convention hall was a little disappointed. Then the 80,000 Republicans started cheering, "Give Bush another chance! Give Bush another chance!"
"Well since we've gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you in one place," said Cheney, "I guess we can do that." He turned to Bush and asked "What is 5 plus 5?"
After nearly 30 seconds of chin-rubbing and grimacing, Bush meekly asked "55?"
Cheney was perplexed, looked down and let out a dejected sigh. Bush started pouting, and suddenly the 80,000 Republicans begin to yell and wave their hands, shouting again "Give Bush another chance! Give Bush another chance!"
Cheney, unsure whether he was doing more harm than good, eventually said, "Ok! Ok! Just one more chance -- What is 2 plus 2?"
Bush looked down, counted on his fingers, and after a whole minute, proudly announced "Four."
After a moment of total silence, an electric charge surged through the stadium as pandemonium broke out. All 80,000 Republicans jumped up, stomped their feet, and with a deafening roar shouted "GIVE BUSH ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE BUSH ANOTHER CHANCE!"
Stupid Answers of the Week
Is poor the new black?
I thought brown was the new black...
- steve kinloch
No. Whoever is expendable is the new Black.
- Gina
Poor isn't the new black, silly, it's the REAL black. always has been.
Racial politics have always been a red herring for a keepin'-the-po'-man-down economic agenda, not just to get poor whites to support measures against their own interest (in the interest of hurting blacks more), but to convince poor blacks to support measures that don't help them either (e.g. affirmative action, which mainly benefits blacks in the middle and upper economic classes). Even the legacy of MLK jr has been rewritten to exclude his campaigning for civil rights for the poor, the focus of his activism at the time of his death. Racial hatred is the engrossing game that the masses are given to play with amongst themselves, so as not to ask questions about what the grown-ups are doing with their money.
A South politician preaches to the poor white man,
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain.
You're better than them, you been born with white skin," they explain.
And the Negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.
-Bob Dylan (1964)
-tom
Well I've been poor for getting on 15 years now and if you mean by black, someone who is downtrodden, ignored and generally frowned upon, then yes is my answer.
- Joe
Stupid Question of the Week
Why didn't I put out an issue last week?
Mr. Conspiracy Says...
-
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union placed at least 40 "suitcase nukes" in or near strategic targets in the United States, mainly major metropolitan areas.
-
After the Cold War, those suitcase nukes were not removed. Soviet sources (Lebed) reported they had "lost track of" 80 suitcase nukes, without saying how many of those may have been the ones in the U.S., so there may be 40 still in place.
-
There are credible reports from government sources that perhaps 7 such devices, 5 with a 100kt, and 2 with a sub-5kt yield, already in place in the U.S. have come under the control of Al Qaeda operatives, but that the state of maintenance of them may have made them nonfunctional -- or may not.
-
There are indications that the main reason we have not captured or killed Osama bin Laden is fear that his operatives are directed to set off those devices if that should occur. U.S. agents are working desperately, and apparently not very effectively, seeking to find those devices and disarm them, and are asking for time to do that.
-
We went into Iraq as a diversion, mainly to buy time to allow the discovery and disarming of the devices in the U.S. This actually was welcomed by Al Qaeda, and we may be getting them to defer detonation by doing things, such as invade Iraq, that builds their base of support in the Middle East.

Why It's Important to Do Your Own Research
One of the oft quoted lines from the DVD
911 in Plane Site, which I reviewed in
issue 113 of Disinfotainment Today, is somebody shouting "That wasn't American Airlines....It wasn't American Airlines going into the building" right after the second crash into the WTC. It was allegedly from an interview played once on FOX News, and never shown again.
Admittedly only an idiot would accept one quote as proof that the planes crashed into the WTCs weren't the ones we've been told they were, and there have been accusations that the footage was doctored.
Nevertheless, the line HAS entered the canon of circumstantial evidence used to prove that something suspicious is going on.
I recently watched my tape of the 60 Minutes shown right after 9/11/01, which showed the workers going through the rubble of the WTCs and sorting it out. There, right in front of me, was a section of the side of a plane, with three passenger windows, and the traditional blue stripe of American Airlines. (Sorry, but I don't have the means to turn it into an MPG. You'll have to trust me or dig out YOUR copy of 60 Minutes.)
Which can only mean one of three things.
-
It WAS an American airliner that struck the WTC.
-
Something else struck the WTC while the American airliner was crashed elsewhere and the rubble was brought to NYC and mixed with the rubble of the WTC.
-
Like the fake moon landing, there's a set somewhere in Hollywood where they create fake news footage, and they've gotten REALLY good at it, seamlessly inter-cutting actual, on-the-spot coverage of things that are actually happening, with studio produced footage of events scripted beforehand. (On the other hand, this
Shockwave of the crash at the Pentagon offers pretty damning proof that it was a missile, not an airliner.)
"Do not follow advice which you do not understand. Make detailed inquiries with your eyes, ears and mind."
- Qu'ran, Al-Isra, Surah 17:37 -
Fugitive of the Week
Renee Boje runs a shamanic herb store in downtown Vancouver, known as Urban Shaman Entheobotanicals, she's an organizer of the annual entheogen conference, and she's raising a two-year-old named Shiva Sun Bennett. She's living an idyllic hippie life, harming no one, healing the sick. Only one problem...
John Ashcroft wants to put her in a federal penitentiary for at least 10 years because she grew medical marijuana in California where, gosh, it's supposed to be legal. He is seeking extradition from Canada. Please allow me to point out that anybody who thinks Renee Boje should desert her child, stop healing people with herbs, and spend a decade or more in prison because she once grew plants to help cancer patients is out of their fucking mind. But you already knew that.
14 Identifying Characteristics of Fascist Nations
- Powerful and continuing nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottoes, symbols, songs and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
- Disdain for the recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people of fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of 'need.' The people tend to look the other way or even approve torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
- Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists; terrorists; etc.
- Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
- Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist regimes tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
- Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
- Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
- Religion and Government are intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
- Corporate Power is protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
- Labor Power is Suppressed - Because of the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
- Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
- Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses, and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
- Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
- Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Puzzle of the Week
Bass Ackwards
Repugs are refusing to watch Fahrenheit 9/11 because they claim the facts in the film are just propaganda from someone who's anti-Bush. Excuse me? Michael Moore didn't put together the facts in Fahrenheit 9/11 because he's anti-Bush, he's anti-Bush because of the facts in Fahrenheit 9/11.
Sophistimicated Doowacky of the Week
Prank of the Week
"I've used MDMA, LSD, and 5-MeO-DMT to perform this prank, but I'm sure other substances will work. Wait for the peak of an incredibly intense and beautiful trip, and then spin an elaborate yarn about how the psychedelic movement has the power to change the world for the better, and how if we could only just turn on the right people, so much anger and violence could be avoided. The politicians of the world would set aside their differences and the fighters of the world would lay down their arms, if only you could share with them the majestic gnosis inherent in the core of the psychedelic experience. A fantastic sense of peace will ensue. Then the drugs will wear off, at which point - here's the hilarious part - bone-crushing disappointment and depression will set in at the realization that it was just the drugs."
Letter of the Week
Don't Take My Word For It
"The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of KNOWLEDGE. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your fucking mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions."
- Frank Zappa -
"The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything."
- Walter Bagehot -
"We are facilitators of our creative evolution. We can ignite our brains with light."
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."
- Jimi Hendrix -
"[Bush] also claimed home ownership has reached an all-time high, which is easy to claim if he's counting cardboard boxes."
"The odds of hitting a target go up dramatically when you aim at it."
- Mal Pancoast -
"In celebration of the working person's holiday, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao has announced the Bush Administration's plan to end the 60-year-old law which requires employers to pay time-and-a-half for overtime.
"I'm sure you already knew that -- if you happened to have run across page 15,576 of last year's Federal Register."
"They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening."
- George Orwell: 1984 -
"In [Kerry's] almost 20 year career, he has sponsored (667) and co-sponsored (4117) a total of 4784 bills and amendments. By comparison, during the same years, John McCain only was associated with a total of 4247.
"At least 85 Kerry-sponsored legislative actions have been signed into law by the President. Here are 50 of the most important, listed chronologically.
"There is nothing about this record that is open to attack or ridicule, and the false notion that keeps getting repeated by the right-wing talkshow hosts that 'no bill that Kerry sponsored was ever passed' needs to be actively debunked."
"A conservative Republican is one who doesn't believe anything new should be tried for the first time. A liberal Republican is one who does believe something should be tried for the first time -- but not now."
- Mort Sahl -
"Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?"
- Sai Baba -
"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime... Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."
- William E. Dodd: U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937 -
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth."
- Lenin -
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."
- H.L. Mencken -
"You know me...I hate people who forward those hoax warnings to everyone they know, but this one is important!! Send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list! If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off, do not do it! IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked. (I wish I'd gotten this yesterday; I feel so stupid and cheap, now.)"
- Jack Angel -
"I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security."
- Jim Garrison -
"At a rally on Wednesday, Former Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney told supporters that a presidential victory for John Kerry would put the US at risk of sustaining damage from more 'devastating' hurricanes or other types of severe weather.
"'If we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again -- that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States,' Cheney said, urging supporters to make what he referred to as 'the right choice.'"
"A man can always use the 'women's logic' argument in a dispute with a woman. The argument finishes the dispute immediately, and the female opponent will not be able to win it, no matter what she will try to say in her own defense. It was generally believed that the male way of thinking was much more rational: women could not think properly because of their emotions. Recent scientific discoveries reject the connection between sex and the thinking. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen from the University of Cambridge says not all men possess the male quality of thinking about systems. Because of such quality men know how to read maps, make plans and lists. On the other hand, not all women are capable of feeling."
"There is only one country in the whole world that puts children first. Their education, well-being, healthcare? Top budget priority! How does our government feel about having this wonderful example being set? America has been at war with this country for 40 years. What country am I referring to? Come on now -- half of Miami will immediately know what country I'm talking about.
"When Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, had a choice between negotiating with rebels or blowing up 1,000 children, which did he chose? As one father put it, 'It would have been different if they had been Putin's children.' Guess what? They are ALL our kids."

"The mind starts working the moment you are born, and doesn't stop until you stand up to make a speech."
- Steve Allen -
"To install a malevolent idiot who happens to be also a psychopath as the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful military force is surely asking for trouble. But when Bush declared at a press conference in early August 2002, speaking of his intention to attack Iraq, 'We owe it to the future of civilization ...' it became abundantly obvious that he is not only malevolent and an idiot, he is completely off his rocker. A total fruitcake. America finally has as President a certifiable lunatic."
"OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE: This was planned months in advance of 9/11 and ensured that on the morning of 9/11, jet fighters were removed from patrolling the US east coast and sent to Alaska and Canada, therefore reducing the amount of fighter planes available to protect the east coast."
"If I were to begin life again, I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little bit more."
- Jules Renard -
"While there was no evidence that the Taliban regime of Afghanistan was directly involved in international terrorism, they undeniably provided the most important base of operations for the Al-Qaeda terrorist network, which shared their extremist Wahhabi-influenced brand of Islamist ideology. In return, Al-Qaeda provided direct support for the Taliban by contributing fighters to the Afghan government in the face of military challenges by rebels of the Northern Alliance. Despite concerns over the large numbers of civilians killed as a result of the U.S. bombing and missile attacks and other aspects of U.S. military operations, much of the international community supported the legitimacy of the war effort.
"By contrast, despite extraordinary efforts by the U.S. government to find some kind of association between the Islamist Al-Qaeda and the secular Baathists then in power in Iraq, no such links have been found. Relatively few countries have supported the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq outside of poor debtor nations which received enormous pressure from the United States to do so."
"A conversation is something people do when they open their mouths and talk to each other. An interview is a conversation that is edited, structured, put together like a jigsaw puzzle, and focused more on one person than the other. Andy Warhol's Interview magazine is ironic, because what he published were mostly conversations...you sat in on a lunch and heard what they ordered, you listened in on petty gossip. Truman Capote turned such scenes into art when he was writing Answered Prayers, but in the raw, they're mostly boring, as most conversations tend to be. Interviews, hopefully, are conversations with the boring parts edited out. An interview is not a true dialogue, but a prompted monologue. Someone is asking someone else questions and eliciting answers."
"Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
- Adolf Hitler -
"While a recent survey by Wahl Clipper Corporation showed that the majority of Americans approve of Bush's hair over Kerry's, 51 percent to 30 percent, this doesn't necessarily translate into votes. That's because overall tonsorial appearance isn't what's important, it's how they part their hair."
"In the event the Pakistani authorities capture Osama and hand him over to the U.S. official before November 2, 2004, I should opine that the event is being stage managed to give Mr. Bush a lift in popularity poll. This indeed could happen. We have read from time to time in various newspapers that the joint operation team comprising of Pakistani soldiers and the U.S. team have been combing the border area in the mountainous region of Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan. The Internet was abuzz about the news that Osama and his lieutenants have been cornered and their movement is being monitored up close from a vantage point."
"When you take a comedy and remove the humor, what remains should still be funny."

"The last time religion ruled the world it was called the dark ages."
- H. Lee Kagan -
"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."
- Osama bin Cheney -
"I will name Vice President Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications system which was superseding any orders being issued by the FAA, the Pentagon, or the White House Situation Room ..."

Links Nixon Film to Anger with Bush
Sean Penn
His sunglasses were heavy and so was the theme when Sean Penn met the press at the Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday after screening a dark look at the Nixon era that unleashed a new wave of Oscar buzz about Penn's performance.
"The Assassination of Richard Nixon" traces the meltdown of Samuel Bicke, a failed husband and salesman and self-described "grain of sand" whose mounting frustrations drive him to make an unsuccessful attempt to hijack a jetliner and crash it into the White House.
Based on fact, the story is set during the time of the Watergate scandal with newscasts and footage of Nixon's speeches woven into the story.
Penn told reporters he disagrees with conjecture that the film sends the wrong message by giving Bicke precisely the type of fame he had hoped for.
"I think that administrations have to look at how they oppress their own people and people in other countries and understand that if they take people's hopes and dreams away, bad things can happen."
Commenting on people with similar frustrations today, he said: "I guess the problem is that, statistically, there's a lot more of them today and we can be grateful to resident (George W.) Bush for that."

Flip Flops On Principle
Robert Novak
Syndicated columnist Robert Novak apparently believes that the principle of not revealing confidential sources is rather flexible.
The man who has stood on this principle for months, in deflecting calls for him to identify who in the Bush administration "outed" CIA operative Valerie Plame, said this weekend on national television that CBS should release the name of its source for the documents at the center of the dispute over its recent program on resident Bush's National Guard service.
On the CNN panel show, "Capital Gang," Novak expressed grave doubts about the CBS documents, then said: "I'd like CBS, at this point, to say where they got these documents from. They didn't get them from a CIA agent. I don't believe there was any laws involved. I don't think we'll have a special prosecutor, if they tell. I think they should say where they got these documents because I thought it was a very poor job of reporting by CBS ...."
Fellow panelist, Al Hunt, from the Wall Street Journal, then replied: "Robert Novak, you're saying CBS should reveal its source?"
The transcript continues:
NOVAK: Yes.
HUNT: You do? You think reporters ought to reveal sources?
NOVAK: No, no. Wait a minute.
HUNT: I'm just asking.
NOVAK: I'm just saying in that case.
HUNT: Oh.

Tourists Can Walk in Her Footsteps
Rosa Parks
Visitors to the Martin Luther King Jr. Historic Site now can walk in the footsteps of Rosa Parks - specifically, the cream-colored slip-ons she wore when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man.
The civil rights pioneer's shoes were among 17 pairs used to create the footprints, etched in tiles, that comprise the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.
Other shoes used in the walk included those that civil rights leader Medgar Evers was wearing when he was gunned down by a white supremacist in 1963.

Guitar Sells for $131,200
Johnny Cash
An abalone-inlaid acoustic guitar made for Johnny Cash sold for $131,200 on Tuesday, the first day of a three-day auction of the estate of the country music legend and his wife, June Carter Cash.
The guitar, made in the 1960s by Billy Grammer and labeled "Custom Made For Johnny Cash," was one of nearly 800 items consigned to Sotheby's auction house by the Cashes' children after both performers died last year.

Cat Torture Film Draws Protesters
'Casuistry'
Protesters urged ticket-holders outside a Toronto cinema on Tuesday to boycott a documentary about a vicious animal cruelty case in which three friends filmed the skinning of a live cat as an alleged art project.
The 91-minute documentary contains interviews with the three cat killers -- Jesse Power, Anthony Wennekers and Matt Kaczorowski -- as well as animal activists, artists, police and journalists. It does not show the cat's mutilation and death.
Power enlisted Wennekers and Kaczorowski in May 2001 to make a video that Power, an ex-vegetarian, said was an artistic statement about the suffering of animals used for meat.
They filmed a cat as they tempted it with a mouse, then skinned and decapitated and disemboweled it, and left its body dangling from the ceiling. Power intended to eat the cat, but never got the chance. The skinned cat was found in the beer fridge of the house where he lived.
The three eventually pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and mischief charges. Animal rights activists were incensed when they received minimal jail time.

Michael Bergin
Former "Baywatch" actor Michael Bergin, who said he had an affair with John F. Kennedy Jr.'s wife less than a year after she was married, was charged Tuesday with a felony for driving under the influence.
Bergin, who wrote a book about his relationship with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, was charged in connection with a July incident in West Hollywood in which a professional inline skater was struck and seriously injured by a car.
Bergin is free on $50,000 bail. The actor's telephone number is unlisted and he couldn't be reached for comment.

Charged With DUI

Former "Growing Pains" actress Tracey Gold was arrested after her sport utility vehicle flipped on Highway 118, injuring her husband and two of their children. An infant was unhurt.
Tracey Gold Marshall, 35, of Valencia was booked for investigation of felony drunken driving after the Sept. 3 crash, California Highway Patrol Officer Steve Reid said Monday.
The SUV, with Marshall at the wheel, veered off eastbound Highway 118 near Princeton Avenue just before midnight and it rolled over on its way down an embankment, Reid said.
Marshall wasn't hurt, but her husband Robby Marshall, 39, suffered neck injuries, the officer said. The couple's 7-year-old son suffered a broken collar bone and a 5-year-old son was cut, but a 4-month-old son wasn't hurt, Reid said.

Wins Another Delay
Phil Spector
Music producer Phil Spector and his new lawyer said Tuesday they need more time to prepare for his murder case and won a delay in scheduling the preliminary hearing.
Superior Court Judge Carlos Uranga, after meeting with lawyers, said the date will be set Dec. 16.
New York attorney Bruce Cutler, who recently took over Spector's defense, told reporters he hoped to restore his client's name to what it was before February 2003.
Cutler is representing Spector along with veteran Los Angeles attorney Roger Rosen. Cutler is best known in New York for his defense of mob boss John Gotti and has been portrayed by federal prosecutors in New York as "house counsel" for the Gambino crime family.

Targets Gays For First Time
Volkswagen
In an effort to acknowledge its longtime gay clientele for its support after conducting research on the group's preferences, Volkswagen is making its first attempt to reach the homosexual community with new print ads from lead agency Arnold.
Photographer John Arsenault shot the Havas shop's ads in the gay-friendly locations of Provincetown, Mass., Palm Springs, Calif., and Los Angeles. One depicts a Provincetown beach at sunset. Copy in part reads, "This summer, we set out to capture those moments in life when everything gels. When you can be exactly who you are. And express it any way you want." The work retains VW's "Drivers wanted" tagline.
VW is following in the footsteps of Subaru and Volvo, both of which have crafted ads targeting gays. This year, gay and lesbian buying power is estimated at about $580 billion, per MarketResearch.com.

Sued Over Medical Exam
Martin Scorsese
A Hollywood film production house says it has failed to get director Martin Scorsese to a doctor, so the company is dragging him to court.
Hollywood Gang Productions has sued Scorsese for breach of contract, claiming he has reneged on a promise to undergo a medical checkup as required to obtain insurance coverage for the 61-year-old director during work on an upcoming film.
Under its agreement with Scorsese, the company was to take out a $1 million policy insuring producers against losses they might incur should something happen to the director during production of a forthcoming period drama "Silence."

USDA Won't Seek Attack Film
Roy Horn
After threats of legislation by Nevada's senators, the Agriculture Department has abandoned attempts to get a videotape of the tiger attack on illusionist Roy Horn in Las Vegas last year.
The USDA had sought the tape as part of its investigation into the incident, but reluctantly agreed instead to just view the footage, a USDA official said Tuesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

War Dance in California
Winnemem Wintu
As darkness fell across the crescent-shaped Shasta Dam, eight barefoot Winnemem Wintu warriors armed with bows began the tribe's first war dance since 1887.
Members of the tiny American Indian tribe began the four-day protest Sunday night to stop a potential expansion of the Shasta Dam, which would destroy sacred sites that had survived its original construction.
The Winnemem Wintu population has dwindled to 125 members due to a combination of disease, disputes and departures by members who have abandoned the culture. The tribe last held a war dance in 1887 to protest a McCloud River hatchery that captured the salmon it relied on for its way of life.
About 60 years ago, the tribe relocated the graves of 183 ancestors and abandoned many sacred sites as Shasta Lake swallowed its villages and ancient cemeteries. The tribe said it was promised land elsewhere in exchange, but the only plots received were in a cemetery below the dam.
The tribe is one of hundreds nationwide that are not officially recognized, which limits its clout while negotiating with the government.

Suspicious of Terror Plans
Americans
Most Americans would not cooperate as officials expect during a terror incident such as a smallpox or dirty bomb attack, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.
An in-depth survey found that the people do not trust the federal government to take care of them during an attack, and would take many matters into their own hands -- endangering themselves and their families.
The researchers conducted in-depth discussions with government and private-sector planners, with community residents from around the country, and did a national telephone survey of 2,545 randomly selected adults.
The study, published on the Internet, offers strategies for getting better cooperation. For example, black Americans are especially suspicious of federal officials but involving churches and community groups in planning would help overcome their fears.

Hitler Film
Downfall (Der Untergang)
A new film portrayal of Adolf Hitler shows both a ranting, twitching, delusional madman and a father figure who speaks kindly to his secretary and gazes fondly as blond Aryan children sing songs of praise.
But Downfall (Der Untergang), which has its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on Tuesday, also breaches one of post-war Germany's last taboos to show the Nazi leader as a human being rather than just a monster.
The movie opens across Germany on Thursday, and it has already prompted questions about whether German filmmakers have the right to delve deeper into the darkest days of their country's history.

In Memory
Kenny Buttrey
Kenny Buttrey - who made a career of literally pounding down barriers between country, pop, rock, R&B and folk music - died late Sunday at his Bellevue home after a long battle with cancer.
The drummer - who played with Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Elvis, Simon & Garfunkel and more - was 59. His wife of 20 years, Cheri, and their two daughters, Kenzie, 16, and Keri, 6, were with him when he died.
Because he worked in Nashville, some might call him a country session drummer. But that hardly tells his story. He was a member of groundbreaking Nashville groups, including Barefoot Jerry - among the early ''Southern rock'' outfits - and Area Code 615, a combination of Music Row aces.
Both bands included guitarist Mac Gayden, who said he ''first met Kenny when he was 14 and he was playing clubs.'' Gayden said that ''the young genius'' grew to become ''probably, pound for pound, the most talented contemporary drummer that I ever played with in America. … He could play any kind of music and he could take things to a level that is transcendental. He was born to play drums.''
Mr. Buttrey's credits include Dylan's genre-busting Nashville albums: Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline. Buttrey also played on Young's Nashville-flavored Harvest.
His major R&B cuts included Robert Knight's Everlasting Love and Arthur Alexander's Anna.
Legendary L.A.-based drummer Jim Keltner, who has played with members of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Randy Newman and more, said Mr. Buttrey was a major influence on him: ''(Kenny) was a great musician in that everything he ever played made such great sense. He wasn't known for flashy chops. ... He just had the ability to self-arrange what he played, such a way that made tremendous sense for a song.''
Aaron Kenneth Buttrey was born April 1, 1945, in Nashville, the son of the late Clinton and Sadie Buttrey. In addition to his wife and two younger children, he is survived by a son, Todd Buttrey, of White House; daughter Tina Spelta of Hendersonville; four grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters.
The remains will be cremated. A service will be held later in the week at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bellevue, with a musical memorial planned.
