KEEP THOSE CARDIGANS & LETTUCE COMING
|
|
|
|
Call this a letter to the editor, if you like.
|
|
|
|
WHAT????????????!!!!!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????
|
|
What kind of hairbrained, head-up-his-ass, moron came up with
|
|
this one? It had to be a man, and one that had never been around
|
|
a lactating woman. Any idiot with half a brain could figure out
|
|
that when your breasts are engorged and swollen to nearly twice
|
|
their normal size, and AIR makes them hurt, it is NOT a sexually
|
|
arousing experience to have an infant with more sucking power
|
|
than a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner attatched to their cracked,
|
|
bleeding, inflamed nipples.
|
|
I'm appalled that some ignorant fuck could take the most
|
|
natural, fullfilling, miserably painful thing in the world,
|
|
and make it nothing more than a bastardised perversion of
|
|
itself.
|
|
The person who came up with thia idea is a sick mother-
|
|
fucker with way to much time on his hands, and probably a
|
|
pedophile, besides, to think of feeding an infant in terms
|
|
of eroticism.
|
|
I'm nauseated.

"A VISITOR FROM THE PAST"
|
|
|
|
I had a dream the other night, I didn't understand.
|
|
A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand.
|
|
His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by the bed,
|
|
He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low, he said:
|
|
|
|
"We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty.
|
|
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny,
|
|
For future generations, this legacy we gave,
|
|
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave."
|
|
|
|
"The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep.
|
|
But tyrants labored endlessly, while your parents were asleep.
|
|
Your freedom gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave,
|
|
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave."
|
|
|
|
"You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,
|
|
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
|
|
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent,
|
|
Although you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent."
|
|
|
|
"Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate.
|
|
Your Christian values can't be taught, according to the state.
|
|
You read about the current news, in a regulated press.
|
|
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S."
|
|
|
|
"Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold.
|
|
You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled
|
|
You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God in shame,
|
|
You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name."
|
|
|
|
"You've given government control to those who do you harm,
|
|
So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm,
|
|
And keep the country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
|
|
Harass your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail."
|
|
|
|
"Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn.
|
|
Your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born.
|
|
Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,
|
|
And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars."
|
|
|
|
"Can you regain freedom for which we fought and died?
|
|
Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride.
|
|
Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?
|
|
Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave?"
|
|
|
|
"Sons of the Republic, arise and take a stand!
|
|
Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!
|
|
Preserve our great republic and each God-given right,
|
|
And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!"
|
|
|
|
As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from which he came.
|
|
His words were true, we are not free. We have ourselves to blame.
|
|
For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right,
|
|
We only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
|
|
|
|
If he stood by your bedside, in a dream while you're asleep,
|
|
And wondered what remains of our rights he fought to keep,
|
|
What would be your answer, if he called out from the grave?
|
|
Is this still the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave?

DEFINE LIES : An ATI Interactive Research Proj
|
|
Pleaze take a minute -n- a half or so
|
|
and help your phellow publisher, wouldja?
|
|
Either right now, or next time you're
|
|
near TV, could you grab a piece of paper
|
|
or Microsoft Notepad, or whatever's handy,
|
|
and surf once around? Spend less than a
|
|
few seconds on each channel, and just
|
|
tally up two things. Idea? Product?
|
|
With each channel jot down whether it
|
|
seems more like they're showing you an
|
|
idea or a product.
|
|
Basically I need you all as a handy
|
|
control group, or perhaps grounding for
|
|
something I'm a little too emotionally
|
|
close to. What I'm getting at, is I did
|
|
it three times, and I have to say, it
|
|
came up 53:5 Product:Idea once, and
|
|
54-4 twice.
|
|
Doubling that I'd like to suggest that
|
|
Gore or Bush are each going to get about
|
|
55, or 40%ish, and Nader's going to get
|
|
8-10 % based on what comes out of a TV.
|
|
Because as we all know, the only thing
|
|
in this world that is real is what comes
|
|
out of a TV. Well, so if other data
|
|
supports this (and only if it's supported)
|
|
I'm going to suggest that this poll stands
|
|
a chance of having an error quotient of
|
|
1 or 2 instead of the climbing 4 and 5
|
|
that is getting so much of our tolerance.
|
|
Does anyone know why we even listen to
|
|
those pieces of rhetorical trash anymore?
|
|
I mean think about it. If a repubican
|
|
leaning channel tells you Bush is ahead
|
|
by 3 with Nader getting 4% of the pie;
|
|
and the error is 4% that means Bush could
|
|
be down by 1 and their poll is still
|
|
accurate.
|
|
Further, if you're watching a democrat
|
|
leaning chan and they have Gore up by 4
|
|
and Nader's at 5% and the error is 4, it
|
|
could very well mean that there's a dead
|
|
heat tie, but the channel's trying to
|
|
rape your mind. Shake your head and look
|
|
just a little to the right or left of
|
|
your TV. See if you can't snap out of your
|
|
suspension of disbelief just long enough
|
|
to realize that you're being condescended,
|
|
manipulated, brainwashed and bamboozled
|
|
in 30 second intervals.
|
|
Oh, and looking again at that error,
|
|
Nader could easily be at 8 or 9, huh?
|
|
And let's take it one step further and
|
|
and wonder why it's so important that
|
|
these errors climb up toward 1/3 of an
|
|
entire poll. If you're like me and you
|
|
suffered some military time, you might
|
|
take a critical look at what I call the
|
|
paramilitico-PAD approach to seeing
|
|
people's behaviour. (PAD being the public
|
|
affairs division) When you watch that
|
|
poll, (I'll hold up the first example
|
|
here) Once you see who the friends and
|
|
foes are, you add in how a military
|
|
reports "truth."
|
|
In our first example Bush is up by 3
|
|
with Nader getting 4% and "our" error is
|
|
4. Let's say Bush has 44 and Gore has 41,
|
|
with Nader at 4 and 11% of our people
|
|
either undecided or voting for those other
|
|
four unmentionables and write-ins.
|
|
Bush is our friendly force in this "war."
|
|
So truth (based on the 3/2:2/3 rule of
|
|
Public Affairs divisions for over 100 years
|
|
now) would really have him at 29 or 30.
|
|
And Gore is a "foe force" so he could really
|
|
have as much as 61! And Nader? He's Neutral
|
|
or Foe so, one and the same, that's 6 easily.
|
|
So with that error less than 3 instead of say,
|
|
more than 6, it's in danger of getting too
|
|
wacky looking when you shift statistics around
|
|
to support your intended lies.
|
|
Define lies. This isn't a lie, is it? It's
|
|
propaganda, persuasion, rhetoric. And we're
|
|
really good at it. Be proud of us. Pride is
|
|
what seperates us from lesser beings, huh?
|
|
So what on earth does idea:product ratio
|
|
have to do with this campaign? Everyone,
|
|
including Nader and Buchannan, Brown and
|
|
Jack Kemp are trying to sell you something.
|
|
Oh I left out Michael Dukakis and his big
|
|
ole' talking head. Look and see if they're
|
|
selling you ideas or product. Issues? Or
|
|
empty promises. Material wealth or familial,
|
|
moral and/or environmental wealth.

PENTAGON NOT TWO-FACED BECAUSE IT HAS 5 SIDES
|
|
Maine Tuesday (last tuesday b-4 supertues) 2000
|
|
PORTLAND - [from combined wires] Prior service
|
|
who were kicked out of the military for being
|
|
too fat, out of shape, [or too moral?] can now
|
|
sue the Pentagon for taking back their enlistment
|
|
bonuses.
|
|
A federal judge ruled that the three people who
|
|
sued the Pentagon last week did in fact have their
|
|
bonuses ripped from them illegally. The case will
|
|
be expanded to class-action soon. Call your local
|
|
congressperson to follow through.

ELVIS WRITES NEW SITCOM FOR THE WB
|
|
By Dustbunny
|
|
Reprinted from her usenet post.
|
|
Finally. Since I started this job, I've been waiting for
|
|
Elvis Costello to do something remotely Spin-worthy so
|
|
that I could write a story about my hero. And the time
|
|
is now. Costello and T-Bone Burnett have teamed up to
|
|
develop a comedy-drama television series for the WB.
|
|
I love the WB. And I love Costello. According to
|
|
Variety, the show will center on four ex-fashion
|
|
models who decide to try their luck at being rock
|
|
stars, spend a lot of other people's cash, and
|
|
face a lot of obstacles along the way. Thank the
|
|
dear sweet lord, Mr. Costello will be writing an
|
|
original song to appear in each episode of the
|
|
series, slated to begin airing next fall. Burnett
|
|
will act as an executive producer, overseeing
|
|
primarily the show's musical content. Costello
|
|
will be with long-time friend, UPN producer John
|
|
Mankiewicz, to write, develop, and executive
|
|
produce the pilot-the idea for which came about
|
|
through e-mail correspondence between the two
|
|
earlier this year. After shopping their concept
|
|
around a bit, Imagine Television President Tony
|
|
Krantz offered to produce the show alongside 20th
|
|
Century Fox Television. Costello told Variety that
|
|
he imagines his rocker-girl characters doing some
|
|
crazy deeds, like travelling into outer space and
|
|
rescuing folks "from dastardly dictators." The show
|
|
will also deal with some legitimate music industry
|
|
topics, like snarky agents and label pressures,
|
|
the likes of which my boy Elvis no doubt knows
|
|
quite a bit about. Costello even hinted that he
|
|
might crop up as a villain or "flunkie" on the
|
|
series somewhere on down the line. In related
|
|
news, Elvis Costello is God.

Here's a poem by our friend Shayna Plaut.
|
|
Old school readers will recognize that she's
|
|
graced our zine with her great presence in
|
|
the past.
|
|
|
|
The morning rises slowly in Chicago
|
|
with a cup of Chiapaneco coffee
|
|
and I meditate on
|
|
the many faces of Santos
|
|
|
|
A little girl with two sharp braids
|
|
as I walk the angles streets
|
|
of South Eastern Mexico
|
|
begs me to buy
|
|
woven florescent bracelets
|
|
I hand her pan dulce instead
|
|
She hands me a smile
|
|
kicking up her skirt
|
|
with laughter
|
|
scampering her coffee colored legs
|
|
to a huddled weaving family surrounded
|
|
by mountains of thread.
|
|
|
|
Her words "por favor, nadie compra. yo tengo hambre
|
|
una tortilla..."
|
|
meld into the next Santos
|
|
the old man with flies in his eyes
|
|
back against sacred spaces
|
|
on soiled streets
|
|
eating the crumbling church walls
|
|
while singing reverence to
|
|
the revolution ninety years ago
|
|
the same revolution that still
|
|
kicks him with the taunts of promise
|
|
and then passes him by
|
|
with neglect
|
|
This Santos does not accept bread
|
|
for he can no longer recognize nourishment.
|
|
|
|
After eating a full meal
|
|
I walk back to the final face of Santos
|
|
now couched over red leather pumps
|
|
on an old wooden shoe shine box.
|
|
He smiles when done, pointing his hunger
|
|
at my filthy boots.
|
|
|
|
And then he's scraping off caked mud
|
|
(a souvenir of my time with the Zapatistas)
|
|
onto the conquered Spanish tile
|
|
we carelessly ignore.
|
|
He likes to read
|
|
or maybe he just said that
|
|
because it sounds good to gringa ears
|
|
either way
|
|
I was on the phone
|
|
to the US
|
|
and he was on the floor.
|
|
|
|
I hang up the phone
|
|
and add to his eleven years
|
|
with only
|
|
15 pesos.
|
|
|
|
The vibrant young girl
|
|
is still slipping under extranjeros feet for a tortilla
|
|
the old man is still eating
|
|
the scraps of verse to the first Zapata
|
|
and the shoe shine boy
|
|
with my boot in his hand
|
|
is clawing the earth of Chiapas
|
|
into muddy clumps, liberated dirt
|
|
threatening to form a wall
|
|
through our bridge of faces.
|
|
