You knew it was coming...tonight news reporters are asking the question, did Bob Woodruff suffer facial wounds? A true Hollywood moment in the evening news (other than the ABC channels. Speaking of Hollywood, for several weeks now i have been receiving ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY. I didn't order it. thought it was from an anonomous friend for an Xmess gift.

Today I learn that my 'free subscription' is compliments of YOURMUSIC.com (see advertisement to your right). Nothing on this website (or any of our eight sites), is there selling something I have not bought or tried. I have enjoyed my membership in YourMusic.com and this free subscription is a nice bonass. So click and join today, whadda ya say?

The world is moments away from 'the Bushmeister' on all channels. Must tune in to watch the spectacle of MONKEY MAN insanity.

Breaking Winds: It's the end of the world as we know; do you feel fine?
__The United States Senate has confirmed Samuel Alito as the 110th Supreme Court Justice of the United States.
__Coretta Scott King Has Died At Age 78.

In other snewz:
__ Baby Jessica Weds in Midland, Texas.

__DUH PRES is coming to Albuquerque this Friday...location unknown. You can make a safe bet (Seahawks anyone?) that there will be plenty of BASTARD LIBERALS waving those damnedable signs in the street. New Mexico sure ain't KANSAS...

__Today's archly conservative Albuquerque Journal has a cartoon by Trevor showing DUH PRES riding his bicycle and dogs chasing him captioned Year of the Dog. Each dog is labeled: 'GOP Scandals', 'Gas Prices', 'Medicare Rx Plan', 'Wiretaps', and 'Iraq'...You got that right Mr. Trevor. Go Dogs...

__Shelly Wu says this about The Year of the Dog:The year of the Yang (+) Dog teaches the lessons of watchfulness, defense of the weak and fair play. International justice will be the order of the year. Causes, protests and the righting of wrongs defines Dog years. Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge. Very appropriate for our sadly failing planet.

__The Daily Show last week showed a clip of DUH PRES staring dazedly at a loose microphone oddly dangling from the ceiling in front of him. His childlike-deer-in-a-headlight-astonishment was positively sad...like when he was reading books to those kids back on the morning of September 11th, 2001.

JUSTin from a reader (or two):
__101 Dumbest Moments in Business for 2005...Here's a sample from the list: Relax...Have a toke and your work productivity will improve! [#5] So that's why they call it a CrackBerry. A study by the University of London's Institute of Psychiatry, commissioned by Hewlett-Packard, finds that "an average worker's functioning IQ falls 10 points when distracted by ringing telephones and incoming e-mails ... more than double the four-point drop seen following studies on the impact of smoking marijuana."

__And this news about 'February First' (if the 'State of our Onion' makes it through 1/31/06 that is):::
The feast day of St. Bridgit (or Brigit) coincides with Imbolc (or Imbulc), the first day of Spring in the pagan calendar, when seeds stir in the ground and the light of day begins to visibly lengthen...A very cool thing is happening Feb 1 at 3 PM Dublin time. The 'regathered nuns' of Bridgit (as of 1996) are going to re-light Bridgit's eternal flame in the market place square in Kildare where her cathedral is. They have been tending the relit flame these ten years in their order retreat house. It's rumored that Tony Blair himself may do the lighting, if not him, then the mayor of Kildare. They are inviting all in the world to participate from where ever you are, figuring out the time differential if you can, to light a flame to her dearness and please come again...

God Save St. Bridgit and Dubya too.

Less than a month ago named as evening Co-Anchor with Elizabeth Vargas on ABC television, today Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt are recovering from injuries suffered when their convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device in Iraq.

Coming the week of DUH PRES making his latest State of the Onion speech, the timing couldn't be worse for old Dubya's bad jokes and hee hees. This quick and easy war is nothing but and we are starting year four soon of a Mission Not Accomplished.

KONG is King!!
We took a three hour tour yesterday to SKULL ISLAND and was impressed with the latest movie from Peter Jackson, the man who brought us Lord of the Strings. The second remake of KING KONG is truly a masterpiece of austere beauty and beastial grotesqueries: yes, it's Beauty and the Beast to the Max. And the three hours plus moves much more quickly than 'Lord of the Strings' epics for sure.

The original tale by Merian C. Cooper of Jacksonville, Florida is handled with reverence and true detail...The job done by the FX crew as well as the man in the monkey suit, the beautiful girl, the onorous Karl Denham, N.Y. in the days of old, the sea journey into the Heart of Darkness...it's all good. This, however, is not is not your mother or father's King Kong...I can't say that I would take a child to see it despite the PG 13 rating. And definitely not the KONG to 'drop acid' for. Kong doesn't show for about forty five minutes, so take a potty break early on...And see this one at the theater; don't wait for the DVD version.

The official movie site is fun and worth a visit or two if you have a quick download time.

Wilson Pickett, best-known for his hits "In the Midnight Hour" and "Mustang Sally", has passed into the heavenly halls of fame.

JUSTin from Bin: Al-Jazeera says it has received a new audiotape from Osama bin
Laden
saying al-Qaida is making preparations for attacks in the United States but offering a truce to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. The voice on the tape says heightened security measures in the United States are not the reason there have been no attacks there since the 9/11/01. Instead, the reason is "because there are operations that need preparations, and you will see them."

Here's a song sent to me in honor my making it totoday , this first day of the rest of my life...

I wasn't Born to Follow
(lyrics: Carole King/Gary Goffin; sung by The Byrds)

Oh, I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crests are glowin'
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colours
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait
Beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your form reflected
In its clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another

I will want to dive beneath
The white cascading waters
She may beg she may plead
She may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow...

 May 2006 be a good year for all of us on the big blue planet and beyond.

__SCORCHED EARTH

Two SNEWZ BREAKS sent in by a reader:
__The Pentagon lists an anti-war protest at the University of California - Santa Cruz as a "credible threat" in its terrorism surveillance. In mid-December, NBC News uncovered a Pentagon surveillance program that lists over 1,500 "suspicious incidents," including many anti-war protests. This is an attempt to put political protest in the same category as terrorism, and build up surveillance databases of organizations that oppose the war on Iraq.

The protest last spring at UC-Santa Cruz, organized by Students Against War, brought 300 students out to demand an end to military recruitment on campus, and succeeded in making the recruiters leave their campus that day. That anti-war organizations are being spied on by the Defense Department is ominous of the overall police state measures the Bush regime is cementing into place.
(Source: "A Protest, a Spy Program, and a Campus in an Uproar", NY Times, 1/14)

__JAN 31st, 2006... All across the country you can join in rallies one hour before Bush’s address that evening to “Drive Out the Bush Regime”, the political message of the day.

At 9:00 PM EST, just as Bush starts to speak, everywhere we will BRING THE NOISE. In a cacophony of sound we will drown out his address with music: from drums to violins, from hip hop and classical and with noise: banging pots and ringing church bells, sound car horns and lifting our voices

2006, Year of the Fire Dog!

January 29, 2006 through February 17, 2007



One little thing I note at Shelley Wu's website page is this particular prediction for the New Year of the Fire Dog: The year of the Yang (+) Dog teaches the lessons of watchfulness, defense of the weak and fair play. International justice will be the order of the year. Causes, protests and the righting of wrongs defines Dog years. Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge. EGGSELLENT...!!

JUSTin from a reader: Some Friday the thirteenth humor:
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Only three more years...and then? Will the moon still hang in the sky?

Compared to THE DIXIE CHICKS getting booed out of their lives not too long ago, GREEN DAY says the times they are CHANGED: JUSTin, a reader writes:

Green Day's latest album American Idiot was released late 2004. They've been touring everywhere promoting it for the last year and a half, apparently. Big parental advisory on cool cover (see below). Rolling Stone article made it sound as if all 57 minutes is about Bush, but album includes "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"...

According to Amazon.com:
For its first new set of music since 2000's Warning , Green Day tears up the blueprint and comes up with something unexpected: a punk rock concept album built around elaborate melodies, odd tempo changes, and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rock warhorses like the Beatles and Pink Floyd .
American Idiot is one of the most anticipated and controversial albums of the year. Scathing yet self-effacing as it tells the tale of Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, American Idiot is the punk rock epic. "A bold, polished punk opera." (Entertainment Weekly)


Many thanks for the GREEN spanks. Sad to have an idiot at the helm of our nation.

JUSTin: A reader currently living in the beautiful islands of GREECE writes:
Whole lotta shakin goin on!

My wife and I were having soup for lunch at home at the time. It starts without warning. It was a trembling at first and then it became larger and more jolting. Back and forth we could hear the plates on the wall rattle and a stuffed animal jumped off the top of the cabinet. We got up and went to a corridor and door jamb, hoping we would be OK. We could almost hear both our hearts beating rapidly as we clung together. It was only about 7 seconds they said on the news, but it felt like an hour. When it was over as suddenly as it began we said to each other lets pack our bags. But we are still here. It was 6.5 on the Richter Scale and one of the most powerful ever recorded. Its center was deep in the ocean near the Island of Crete. Some damage was reported in the islands in that area, mostly in the older buildings built before the current earthquake requirements. Virtually all the construction in Greece is cement and rebar and earthquake resistant. Athens was a mere village 50 years ago so most all of the buildings has some level of earthquake awareness in its construction. No one was hurt and we have survived to tell our story to our friends!

Come on over and you too can shake shake shake your booty!!!

There's a great story in our morning paper about an [angry] old man in Fort Sumner, New Mexico who was burning leaves in his front yard when a mouse appeared on his door step. The old man snatched up the little mouse and threw it into the pile of fiery leaves. The little mouse burst mightily into flames and then rapidly ran into the old man's house...Luciano Mares 81, lost all his belongings and had the entire interior of his ancient house destroyed by flames which spread from the mouse's back. The mighty little mouse perished as well. Sad, funny, and a true story. I'd go so far as saying heck it's a metaphor for our world today.
