BLACKOUT!
The biggest shopping day of the year and lots of stores in
San Francisco couldn't even open! Irwin rang up to check on
me as did my pal Jonathan in LA but I had electricity and
finished my shopping over a month ago so I didn't even notice.
A Porn-Filled Christmas
I wasn't really sure about what to expect when I got the
invite for the GQB Christmas Party, but I recognized the names
of all of the performers mentioned and even knew a couple
of them personally so I decided to check it out. I tried to
get the SLO posse to go, but they had prior Christmas parties
to attend. Somehow I convinced Irwin to tag along and with
vague directions, we ended up trecking through the mist and
rain to the Campus Theatre. We got there about an hour before
the show started and talked to quite a few familiar faces...
A Wicked Solstice
Thank Goodness for Friendster! Without it, I might have missed
The Wicked Sound System's Annual Solstice Party. See the pix
and a review in the events section...
 No
Real Surprise...
They released the new designs for the World Trade Center
redevelopment project. Besides being incredibly ugly, they
are calling it "Freedom Tower" because it will rise
to a height of 1,776 feet and that number coincides with the
year of American Independence. What the F*#k does independence
and freedom have to do with the tragedy of September 11th,
2001? It's disgracefull enough to see how the FDNY and NYPD
have reacted to the tragedy without being subjected to more
ugliness from the architects. It's abberant enough to see
how politicians have warped, twisted and otherwise capitalized
on the criminal justice issues to justify their political
power-grabs and personal wars without seeing their underlings
further erode any lingering goodwill toward our country and
New York State in particular.
After two world-renowned architects spent months debating
the size and shape of the tower that will rise at the World
Trade Center site, a compromise design was announced Friday
for what could be the world’s tallest building -- and
one that incorporates safety features like separate staircases
for firefighters and “blast-resistant glaze” on
the lobby glass...
 Sadam
In Captivity
All the photos of Sadam in American captivity have been making
the rounds this week and the one thing missing from all of
the media coverage has been reports of independent verification
of the guy's identity.
We have been lied to about so much having to do with Iraq
and I can't help but wonder if Sadam's capture is yet another
lie. Look at the photo and you can see how long the guy's
beard is. I know Middle Eastern men are supposed to be hairy
than the average westerner, but Sadam had a smooth chin in
the videos of him released this summer. The videos were authenticated
by the same authorities that tell us the guy now in captivity
is Sadam. I've had a beard for several months and I don't
see how his beard could grow so long so quickly.
I'm sure the Shrub would be devestated if the real Sadam
turned up next month in Syria or something, so surely they
must have the right guy, right? I guess all I'm saying is
I won't be surprised if we find out in ten, twenty, fifty
years or so that the real Sadam was killed and US forces just
slipped in one of his 15 identical stand-ins.
Also, I won't be surprised if their "Sadam" is
killed before standing trial in whatever kangaroo court they
can pretend to legitimize. If for no other reason than to
keep him quiet about the real nature of his relationship with
every Republican regime in America since the 1960s.
