GravatarWe are living in a new world: the world of the Moronic Shitstorm.

Heard tonight that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie QB will be fined $5000 for writing "PFJ" and Pat Tillman's number on his shoes. "PFJ" of course stands for Play for Jesus.

Hark! Soon the savage snark of self-righteous loonball dumbass wingnuts will be a-whining about this in every corner of the Internets.

It is but the latest roll of fartlike thunder in the... Moronic Shitstorm.

GravatarI posted this earlier today, but in case you missed it, I think it bears repeating:

...Funny thing is, many right-wing neocons consider the act of displaying (photographs of Iraqi war deaths) unpatriotic, even traitorous. As if revealing the true horrors of war somehow disrespects our long-suffering soldiers, somehow harms them by depicting the full violence of what they must endure for Bush's snide and viciously isolationist policies. You think soldiers don't want the folks back home to know what they have to deal with? You think they want you numb to the truth of war and pain and death? Guess again.

Maybe this should be the rule: If you can't handle seeing what really goes on in a war, maybe you don't deserve to support it. If you can't stomach the truths of what our soldiers are doing and how brutally and bloodily they're dying and in just what manner they have to kill those innocent Iraqi civilians in the name of BushCo's desperate lurch toward greed and power and Iraqi oil fields and empire, maybe you don't have the right to stick that little flag on your oil-sucking SUV.

Clear enough?

We're all real sorry about that, but how does that explain the fact that police and rescue workers couldn't communicate with each other on 9/11 due to a foul up in the system? Also, how do you account for not having any emergency procedures in place in case of such events as 9/11. And why is it that you haven't done crap for the fire and rescue workers who have become sick working at Ground Zero? Wrap yourself up in the failure of 9/11 all you want, Bernie.

I once saw Christopher Walken as Iago in Othello in Shakespeare in the Park, with Raul Julia as Othello.

Walken was as much of a freak as usual. He deliberately exaggerated a Noo Yawk accent for reasons best known to himself, which meant that one of the most famous Shakespearean speeches came out as "But put money in dy poise."

Fucking awesome.

GravatarWhat do Brenner, Condi, and Kerik have in common? They all failed miserably in Iraq, snuck out of of the country in the middle of the night when nobody was watching, and were generously rewarded by the Shrub for their failures.

GravatarWho is Norm Coleman?

He is the most vile pig alive. This pig switched parties to run against the late, GREAT Paul Wellstone, who died just days before his re-election.

The former Dem jumped upon the funeral hijacking of Wellstone to defeat last minute candidate Mondale.

He is one of many odious opportunists playing the Terra card and the "Oil for Food" anti UN cards.

A real dick with arms.

Wow, what a flashback. I can taste a specific brand of cooked cereal at the mention of 'ol Pat.

No; I can't remember who this was. He had one puppet who was a little girl, and another who was a Beatnick/Hippie, who was using some bad language before the station went to an unplanned commercial break. And these were badly made puppets, man. Crudity cubed.

GravatarSpeaking of Norm Coleman...

As a Minnesotan I'd like to apologise for Normie. He's a Jersey boy though (no offense to the Garden State), and a Hofstra grad.

The man is an opportunist of the worst kind. I believe he was an activist of some kind in school. I remember seeing a photo of him with a megaphone or something during his college days.

He was a Democrat until a few years ago. One of the many shills who saw their oily future with the elephant heads and switched parties. He is a bland, pandering, ambitious, amoral ninny. The fact that he took Paul Wellstone's seat in the Senate galls me more than I could possibly express. He does not represent us, folks. Though Wellstone grew up on the southeastern seaboard, his progressive politics are more in line with the modern legacy of the land of 10,000 lakes.

Normie, you suck!

GravatarWeirdest things I *know* I saw

Once, I was driving behind a truck pulling a trailer with a dozen or so cattle in it, traveling about 60 mph. The gate on the trailer slowly swung open, and one by one, the cattle started stepping out the back.

It was the most horrifying/comical thing I've ever seen in my life. As they stepped down, they were dragged out onto the road, and subsequently bounced repeatedly off the road surface, with what seemed like slow motion mid air flips and cartwheels. 5 or 6 of them made it out before the driver noticed (A highway patrolman coming towards us alerted him), but amazingly, all the cattle ended up grazing in a pasture on the side of the road, apparently unharmed except for spots of road rash.

Jesus...he showed a movie called "The Cremators" that was beyond belief. As far as I could tell, it wasn't even edited into sequence. Half of it was overexposed, half of it was underexposed, and the "sexy" female lead was hideously scarred. What a mess...

GravatarThere's more putzes for Jesus on the Cowboys than any other team, so you can still root for the steelers.

I really think it is vanity of the worst sort that athletes point to the sky (god I suppose) when they do something good. One athlete I admire has stopped thanking God for letting him win, which makes me happy. When I was growing up, it was considered gauche to discuss god like that, but times are different.

GravatarBob Wilkins, not Peter. The mind plays starnge tricks!

Well, I'm having a flashback from my child-time, so I have an excuse.

Channel 2's news -- still being done by the same people -- followed this weird format forever: Robbery, Oakland homicide; gang violence; war (somewhere); death; fraud; more death and mayhem.

Then, after twenty-five minutes (minus commercials), their closer was always some little human interest story about some old guy losing his dentifrice on BART and having it found by little Shawan Miller of Mountain View; "and tonight Mr. Jones and his upper plate are reunited." Like it somehow made up for the concentration of violence and tension in the rest of their news format.

for his agent -- this is when he was
still basically an up and coming
theater guy.
Anyway, we were at a press party for
something or other, and my pal introduced
me to him. He was really cool. We talked
about the Rolling Stones who were
touring at the time -- he was a huge
fan.

GravatarReminiscing about 9/11, Giulani said: "At the time, we believed that we would be attacked many more times that day and in the days that followed.

great recalll on the link ... been looking for that one ... with this perverted logic it's like saying, "welcome to the morgue, thank god, Bernard Goetz was afraid of screwdrivers"

GravatarThe most disturbing thing about Norm Coleman (aside from his rodent-esque features) is that he exemplifies a disturbing tendency for those in the legislative branch to serve as proxies for the administration to do its dirty work.

Norm is not bashing the UN-bashing on his own . . . his obtuse and factless rhetoric bears a great resemblence to something that John Bolton would vomit forth.

GravatarI got to attend the Ashland Shakespeare Festival right before my senior year in college - it was very excellent. There was this one actor who was the lead in at least 3 or 4 plays, and was very good in all of them. Years later, he had a bit part on an episode of Ally McBeal. That's just so not right.

At the other end of the spectrum, I remember seeing an ACT production of "Taming of the Shrew" around 1974-75. The actor that played Petruccio's mainservant was an absolute riot and clearly stole the show. A few years later, I saw a videotape from the same run of that show. I immediately recognized the actor that had played the hilarious manservant: Robin Williams.

"classic bland smiling lecherous, treacherous villian - like Hamlet's Uncle Claudius"

That's the guy. coleman wasn't kidding. He mouthed one absurdity after another with a straight face.

Even though the UN security council was in charge of oil for food, coleman says Anon has to step down because you can't go after the nameless, faceless UN security council. As head of the UN Anon has to take responsibility and step down.

That nameless faceless UN security council!

Of course the US and British members of the council OK'ed every contract.

I wonder what coleman said to bush after 911. Maybe something about stepping down?

GravatarNot to name drop, but I met Walken
once in 1975.


I went to elementary school with his nephew. Probably (cough) in the same time period. The poor kid used to try to convince us he had a famous uncle, and he would show off a picture of Christopher with Carrie Fisher as proof. Of course we were all like "yeah, like you know Princess Leia, fatass." Cruel. We were cruel.

The other memorable thing about this kid was he fell hook line and sinker for the bizarre 1970s fad-terror of being afraid of killer bees. You'd be at recess and see a bee, and he would go into paroxysms of ecstatic terror. To this day, I see a bee, and I think of Christopher Walken's nephew. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

GravatarI saw Terence Stamp in shorts at La Guardia. That was... incongruous.

I think I also saw the Spinal Tap manager (whose daughter later accused him of molesting her) at an outdoor cafe in NYC.

GravatarAre you an INTP, by chance?

I've been curious as to where others here are on the Meyers/Briggs inventory.


I have arguments with my wife all the time about M/B. The last time I took the test I angrily scrawled a spontaneous essay instead from the perspective of Bourdieuian sociology, and it never got scored... granted, had she bought me beer, I might have had a different response.

My memory of the Walken nephew's fear of bees however is very vivid. This kid really did look exactly like his uncle, except much heavier. Talked like him, too. Now, open your mind's eye to, say, 1977. A playground in a Queens schoolyard. Envision a very pale, very young, very fat Christopher Walken on the top of a slide, screaming "it's the killer bees! From Mexico! I knew it!"

Try ro erase that image from your consciousness.

"As Major League Baseball's steroid scandal widened to include the sport's most prolific active home run hitter, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) said yesterday that he will introduce legislation imposing drug-testing standards on professional athletes if baseball players and owners do not adopt a stringent crackdown on steroids by January." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp...2- 2004Dec3.html

...super -- McCain plays kissyface on stage with a schmuck who calls him brainwashed and the father of "one of those" children during the South Carolina primary -- gives the same asshat a pass on more warcrimes than we the people alleged against the EvilSaddam in ramping up to attack his sovereign nation for no great reason -- but but but -- we'll get tough on baseball...

Must be a harbinger of spring.

Must mean it's time to ban Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon again?

Move along,

GravatarUm, my best friend slept with Al Franken's brother in college? I had an incredibly long conversation with Leonard Bernstein the night he taped "Mass" at the Kennedy Center as we waited to be picked up by the Concert Hall stage door. And didn't even realize it was him until his driver called him by name. I spent an entire summer hanging out with Isaac Stone and didn't realize who he was (he was just "Izzy" a friend of a friend). Lovely, charming, funny, dear man. Damn, I'm clueless.

GravatarWhat kind of food do we import from the middle east?

In Europe? Citrus fruit from Israel. Turkish dates. Figs. Spices. (Get some ras al-hamout for couscous. Amazing.) Pistachios -- from Iran, so you can't get them in the US, and they're fucking marvellous.

Israel also supplies lots of dehydrated soup, for some reason.

Gravataralso met the entire cast of the original "Lost in Space" sans Guy Robinson who had already died ... Dr Smith was a crazy ass trip and the Major West dude was the biggest prick I ever met

the coolest was June Lockhart and Judy still looks hot ... either she's got more plastic than mattel or she is just a freak of nature -- man, was she gorgeous

PS: angela cartwright is a blimp and she couldn't stop eating the whole time

GravatarOne more. That Nick Cannon guy from some movies (not a big fan) once chased my 15 year old cousin around the MCI center trying to get her phone number. I know what's on Mr. Cannon's agenda and it won't be my cousin. So he can just take his pimp-mobile having self and ride on into the next town.

GravatarDon't know if this counts, but...

My uncle died in the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam under Gen. Hal Moore's command (We Were Soldiers...Once, and Young). Gen. Moore phoned me once, and I have met him personally. He's very sweet. I have also met Joe Galloway-- great guy -- and he answers my e-mails.

Recently, I met Bruce Crandall ("Snake Shit") the helicopter pilot. I held out my hand to shake his, and asked him to sign my book. He clutched my hand and wouldn't let go, and said, "Sure,if you'd let go of my hand!"

GravatarActually, I was on television before I had sex...

Anyone remember an SNL parody commercial from the early 80s, set to the tune of various soft-drink theme songs, beginning with, "Come on out, America, America is turning gay!", and ending with "Be a homo, act like a homo..."? With various happy and presumably gay people smiling and waving at the camera? One of them is a kid and an old man playing chess - I was the kid. Sweartagod.

GravatarI met the old guy from the first Survivor, and had no clue who he was - not surprising since I don't usually watch shit. It pissed him off, too. Other than that, my only "brush with greatness" was with a lame local TV weatherman who just happened to be close by in the crowd when we were drunkenly celebrating Clinton's re-election in 96. He got all "huffy celebrity" on us and we all busted out laughing right in his face.

GravatarMy mother used to do massage and reflexology. Sigourney Weaver was one of her regular customers, as was the author of "Leo The Late Bloomer." She also did (ahem, *massaged*) General Westmoreland before he was to testify about something or other. Said he was very tense - imagine that.

GravatarOh, I forgot.
When I was a kid I worked for Hubert Humphrey for Senate - 1970. He was running against Clark McGregor, who later headed up Nixon's Committee to Reelect the President (appropriate acronym). I was handing out HHH material at a Golden Gopher football game when I noticed McGregor, marched over to him and said "Here's your Humphrey button Mr. McGregor!" He said heh heh with a "why you little..." overtone and marched off.
I was full of myself for days (prob'ly hasn't worn off yet).

Also, one of my closest friends told me yesterday that he's been threatened with a lawsuit by Tom Cruise.

GravatarHal Moore is a god for sure ... heard he was great guy to serve with ... my uncle mentioned him to me many years before the movie came out, and if he was anything close to what Mel Gibson did on the screen, what a dude ...

I did forget my ace in the hole, but Monica surrendered .. Hunter S Thompson ... he came to a party really late all drunk and shit, and starting mumbling about having to find an ammo store in Boston (and there aren't any) .. signed my book and then lit the insert page with his lighter ... guy was a freakin trip
