i'll admit. i paid money to go see "how high" in the theatres. no shit!
but when i started seeing advertisements at the bus stops for "method and red," i took a double take.
obviously the music indusry is screwing these guys so hard they need to make money making a sit-come.
but then the wierd part comes. mthod man complains his new sit-com isn't "ghetto enogh."
perhaps method man should have given bernie mac a call to see how the fox network works before signing the contract. maybe then he would have realized rupert murdoch would never let a Sit-com on the Fox network come close to being "ghetto."
so, method man - like they say in the navy - tough nuts!

Aah, nothing like the aroma of North Shore Family Values burning off like methane in a mineshaft. link
The best quote from the story, from Jeri: "...on arriving at the third club, in Paris, "people were having sex everywhere. I cried. I was physically ill. [He] became very upset with me and said it was not a 'turn on' for me to cry." Way to Focus on the Family, Jack! At least he had poor little Alex's best interests in mind by banging Jeri in front of complete strangers.
Jeez, getting your jollies at a sex club is bad enough, but in that epicenter of iniquity and screeching anti-Americanism...Paris, France? How will THAT play in Peoria?
He may be alienating swing voters, but not swinger voters. *rimshot*

ol' dickless cheney is staring to sound like a broken record.
"iraq and al qaeda had long-established ties." "iraq and al qaeda had long-established ties." "iraq and al qeada had long-established..." nunya!
this message comes a day after the 9/11 commission solicited testimony from intelligence professionals who concluded there were no ties between iraq and al qaeda.
in fact, those professionals found osama met with iraqi officials, made few requests and then got snubbed by saddam.
considering how dick and his butt-buddy "w" didn't want the commission established in the first place, and how hard the commission has had to wrangle information out of the administration about the attack, i'm inclined to believe them, not our veep.
also consider cheney's track record of truth on his other assertions on the iraq war.
1. he was wrong about saddam's wmd
2. he was wrong about the iraqis' acceptance of u.s troops in the country.
3. he was wrong about saddam's intentions to buy uranium from africa.
4. he was wrong about the number of troops needed for the war and subsequent occupation.
and now he wants us to believe him about the iraq-al qaeda ties? sorry, dick.
now here's the wierd part. ol' dickless rails against the new york times, saying the paper didn't distinguish the commission's findings. he said the commission found no link between iraq and the attack, and did not dispute the iraq-al qaeda ties. however, the times AND the commission's report clearly made that distinction.
"they fuzz it up," dickless said about the times.
bullshit! cheney is the one fuzzing it up.
i think it's time to take the needle off the record, dick - and shove it up your tight ass!

Wow, bummer of a week for American Conservatives...first Ronnie Reagan ascended to the Giant Deficit in the Sky, and now Rush Limbaugh is getting a divorce after 10 years of marriage.
Ahh, humanity, ah, Limbaugh. Now maybe your deluded fans will wake up and recognize you for the dishonest moralistic scold you always have been. Who will you blame for your problems this time...gays, feminazis, liberals, Clinton, Hitlery, Kennedy, or the UN? Or some combination of all the above? Come on, Rush, how about some homiletics on how divorce is bad? You can't say it's a private matter...you made a career out of Bill's private life!
What the hell kind of name is "Marta" anyway? Isn't that the name of metro Atlanta's mass transit (relatively speaking) system? Link Weird.
She will be one wealthy divorcee, that's for sure.
I wonder what was the deal-breaker for her...the drugs? The intemperate hectoring? Being forced to stitch his tacky ties in sweatshop-like conditions? The constant effluvium from his pilodinal cyst? I suppose that at the end of the day, even shameless gold diggers like Marta (and Rush, for that matter) can't live on bread alone...money is never enough for some people.

Cripes, you can't turn on the TV this week without being pelted with all manner of mawkish hagiographies for the great St. Ronnie, like so many jelly beans. Puke.
Of course, now Bush will try to capitalize on Ronnie's death...and why not? He finally gets a break from the intense scrutiny of his own criminally incompetent administration, and gives lip service to a president who was...not much better!
Bush is already starting to compare his record of achievements (?) to Reagan's. Let's make a list of how Dubya is carrying on the Ray Gun legacy...
Praise the Lord, it's Morning in America again. At least his media strategists can stop making comparisons to FDR/Churchill/Lincoln/Kennedy now.

- Addleminded figurehead President who pretends to be a cowboy...CHECK!
- Gray emminence running the show (Al Haig-Dick Cheney)...CHECK!
- Bankrolling of useless and expensive defense programs (SDI-NMD)...CHECK!
- Federal budget exploding beyond containment...CHECK!
- Tax cuts to destroy social spending...CHECK!
- John Negroponte appointed ambassador/Viceroy...CHECK!
- Administration members under grand jury indictment (Valerie Plame affair)...CHECK!
- Congress deceived in order to wage war (Contras-Iraq)...CHECK!
- Treasonous dealings with Iran via shady proxies (Adnan Khashoggi-Ahmed Chalabi)...CHECK!
- Admiral John Poindexter back in government...CHECK!
- James Watt's anti-environment policies continued...CHECK!

It looks like Ronnie Reagan is gonna kick it soon...gonna meet up with the spirit in the sky.
I'll say one thing about the man--in spite of the sundry ways he fucked up this country, he was an efficient producer of carbon dioxide. I mean, think of how many plants he fed and nurtured during his lifetime!
Of course, Reagan claimed that trees caused pollution. Oops. Oh well, fuck the trees. They don't vote Republican anyway!

deputy attorney general james comey suspiciously outlined the information the government as on jose padilla, a.k.a. the dirty bomber, the other day, just as supreme court justices are about to hand down their ruling on his status.
as you know, padilla, a former gang-anger turned pseudo-nuclear physicist, is being held in a military brig in south carolina as an "enemy combatant," and has not been charged with any crime. well, the other day comey laid out what, exactly, the justice department thinks padilla was up to when he returned to his hometown of chicago in may 2002.
these claims are outrageous. the idea of this guy maing a dirty bomb is laughable enough, but to think he was actually going to take down a high-rise apartment building by filling a unit with natural gas and exploding it is truly ridiculous.
getting back to the dirty bomb - despite what the white house wants you to think, you cannot put some radioactive material in a suitcase, blow it up and wreak havoc in a populated area. that's simply not possible.
making a dirty boms requires high levels of radiation, and therefore you need to store the material properly for transport so it doesn't leak any radiation, which typically means a very large storage container - most likely wieghing a few tons. if you don't store it properly, your dirty bomber will fry to a crisp.
what's truly outrageous about comey's little press conference is that the justice department is clearly trying padilla in the court of public opinion, rather than a court of law, which happens to be padilla's right as a u.s. citizen.
if the government has got the goods on padilla, fine. charge him and take him to court. but until they do, i say ... FREE PADILLA!

"Enron? What's that?"
With everything else in the country doing a slow counterclockwise swirl in the metaphorical toilet it's easy to forget that the corporate criminals of Enron are still at large. Well, CBS released a censored audio tape of Enron energy traders laughing and joking as they gleefully rooked California consumers during the energy crisis of 2001. Take a trip on over to the Seeing the Forest blog for an unedited transcript of the Enron tapes. Bring some Xanax with you, too--it'll really spike your blood pressure.
These Energy Traitors SHUT DOWN POWER PLANTS to drive up prices and did a naked victory dance in the moonlight! They single-handedly engineered the Western power crisis, and--surprise!--feared no reprisals from the Bush-run FERC. And best of all--they got to put the black hat on Gray Davis, who actually wanted to sue Enron for their large-scale grifting! The recall of Davis and installation of Governor Gang Bang was another way to comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted.
As the idle chatter in the tapes proves, Bush and Lay were the champions for Enron and other power companies in Washington...now all we need are the minutes from Tricky Dick's Doubleplus Top Secret Energy Committee meetings to fill in the gaps and prove complicity.
Bush is fond of gratuitously quoting the Bible in public--I wonder if he would have a problem swearing on one.
