COLUMNIZATION PUBLICATION NOTINOURNAME-ION
|
||
|
||
I just watched a male girls-soccer-coach (about
|
||
my age) abuse the hell out of a young girl who
|
||
hopes to make the team.
|
||
|
||
"Do you understand what I'm saying here?"
|
||
"I don't mean this in a mean way, but..."
|
||
"This is not meant to hurt your feelings or
|
||
anything, but..."
|
||
|
||
I asked a woman sitting one more table away
|
||
from them if she'd heard what I heard, and
|
||
she said, "how could I not?" Yup, so I WAS
|
||
hearing what I thought I was hearing.
|
||
|
||
I was so bummed out because they both left at
|
||
about the same time. I so wanted to slip her
|
||
a note or mention a couple things to her after
|
||
he left, about things she ought to consider
|
||
rethinking from their conversation.
|
||
|
||
"He's setting you up to lose your self esteem,"
|
||
I might say. Or, "I hope you already noticed
|
||
he's abusing whatever self esteem you have
|
||
left in your life. Don't let him get to you;
|
||
you're much more than that..."
|
||
|
||
Etc.
|
||
|
||
But alas, it's probably not my place as just
|
||
the innocent bystander and fellow coffee drinker
|
||
eh? Yes. I overheard all this in a coffee shop.
|
||
She wanted his advice about the recruiters
|
||
that are coming her way these last years of
|
||
high school, and also asking about trying out
|
||
for his semi-pro team.
|
||
|
||
I hope that's not his only reason for being
|
||
in that business; an endless supply of young
|
||
excitable women half-drained of self esteem.
|
||
He'd be better off agenting fashion models
|
||
or underage singing sensations or something.
|
||
|
||
And we'd be better off watching him get his
|
||
pants sued off in a bunch of sex-arrasment
|
||
cases.
|
||
|
||
-30-
|
||
|
||
ps: one last thought. You know, if HE had any
|
||
self esteem he could fully get to know quite
|
||
a few of them, even intimately, leaving each
|
||
one feeling great about herself and maintaining
|
||
the same or more self esteem as she goes about
|
||
the rest of her up and coming lifetime.
|
||
|
||
Don't you dare ask me where I learned THAT.

OPEN LETTER:
|
||
|
||
Hunter S Thompson.
|
||
|
||
Dear Hunter,
|
||
|
||
It's enough to make one wish to raise the flag on the Hill,
|
||
to raise Cain, to raise a fist in righteous, (not Christian
|
||
self-righteous) anger!
|
||
.......... FOX TV has done almost enough to get an Euro
|
||
"thinking public" to think, maybe even to remember? This
|
||
recently regenerated new world America must think that it
|
||
can "get away" with just about anything, as long as its
|
||
"troops are on the ground" and on my home TV.
|
||
|
||
FOX TV decided that it should employ a front line reporter,
|
||
someone who really should still be languishing in an American
|
||
prison, as a commentator
|
||
on Gulf2, who many still think he needs to be lined up, along
|
||
with his shield of "human rights" and Uzied in front of our very
|
||
single standard eyes?
|
||
|
||
FOX TV via Sky TV, are ranting on about Saddam and his regimes
|
||
abuse of human rights in Iraq, before the "liberation force"
|
||
arrived to set free all that oil. FOX TV are showing how dumb
|
||
an executive can be, FOX TV has employed a major abuser of human
|
||
rights as a Gulf2 commentator. Not only is this most discreet of
|
||
commentators publicising his own commercial aspects, his fictional
|
||
work, he is very very good as "fiction". But also this man, to
|
||
whom you seem to have taken a personal dislike, along with Gen
|
||
Secord and Admiral Poindexter, really should be behind bars.
|
||
Is being invited into sentimental style secret briefings by
|
||
the American forces.
|
||
|
||
Even to someone with only half a Fear and Loathing brain cell,
|
||
this must be a great mistake by those who are trying to impress
|
||
the watching world with straight ethic. But maybe there is
|
||
nothing straight about FOX, and nothing straight about their
|
||
freshly found war orator? Our American hero of the Reagan era,
|
||
who secretly brought arms to Iran, who swopped S American cocaine
|
||
for guns, who must have flinched when his main man Barry Seal got
|
||
murdered by those resident not that far away from then Governor
|
||
Clinton's back office. And someone who should be in prison for
|
||
gross abuse of human rights himself, is now strutting his
|
||
ugliest of stuff on TV screens all over Europe.
|
||
|
||
Col Oliver North, who retains unofficial keys to about every
|
||
high level secret in American political and military life,
|
||
part due to his accomplice of old, Admiral Poindexter, a
|
||
recent Dubya appointee, now being in charge of the world
|
||
number one spy machine, is back on our screens. But not
|
||
as the villain you and I know he is, but as a hero reporter
|
||
on the front line of Dad and Dubya's latest excursion into
|
||
the Mid East.
|
||
|
||
Indeed there are some very very strange animals waiting outside
|
||
the walls of Saddam's palaces, probably the most strangest of
|
||
all being reporter Col Oliver North, who some good folks still
|
||
term "The most dangerous man in America"? And all this, courtesy
|
||
of a desert which one should rapidly desert from off of our Euro-
|
||
screens As in, "Out with a permanently disgraceful Ollie North
|
||
and take your steenking fox wih you Sir!"
|
||
|
||
Indeed your "Generation of Swine" seems to have returned with
|
||
its usual poison? Do have a good day Hunter, take no prisoners,
|
||
and do get someone to have a word with FOX huh? .
|
||
|
||
best.

COPS' LOG - CARDATE 0304082109

Special to Prime Anarchist World News Tonite.
|

[reprinted from http://bancs.lod.com/~ati/ati232.html]
|
||
(PAWN) - Anywhere, USA - Police are on the lookout
|
||
for a poetical prankster they say is travelling town
|
||
to town committing close calls with his alliteration,
|
||
rhyme scheme and armed manic near-murderous mayhem.
|
||
"Nobody dies," said Natalia Derosers," but we all
|
||
get such close calls it's so stressful."
|
||
She said he picks a new city every Saturday, but
|
||
in a very haphazard way he seeks someone to simulate
|
||
a slow motion meditated murder with.
|
||
Take Derosers' husband for instance.
|
||
"He threatened his life with a knife, pressed it
|
||
against his chest, and then made it look as if he'd
|
||
stabbed him in the abdomen," said she.
|
||
She went on to say he left the knife on the ground
|
||
and walked off without a sound, stepping it up to a
|
||
run in his Tevas and Levi 501's.
|
||
Police are still searching and have this to say,
|
||
"If he comes to your city, he should be considered
|
||
armed, shirtless, and extremely witty."

THE WAR IN CONTEXT
|
||
|
||
Embedded journalist Ron Marts believes the fortuitous
|
||
appearance of two soldiers saved him from embarrassment
|
||
and possibly outing-as-a-republican during a firefight
|
||
near Baghdad's airport.
|
||
|
||
Marts, an Atlanta Regular-Constitution reporter, is
|
||
attached to the 4th Infantry in Iraq. He was riding
|
||
on an armored personell carrier last weekend as its
|
||
company travelled through Baghdad. Bullets and red-
|
||
glare grenades peppered the convoy of armored vehicles
|
||
of which he was a part. In fact, Marts was filling in
|
||
as General's driver because the E-3 he was riding
|
||
behind called in sick.
|
||
|
||
"A bullet hit the soldier to my immediate left in the
|
||
right arm, right where his swastika tattoo used to be,"
|
||
Marts wrote in a Regular-Constitution article. "just
|
||
a few inches from my left arm."
|
||
|
||
Marts wrote that he yelled out, "I'll-get-you--you-
|
||
commie-pinko-fag-liberal-democrat-nigger-kike-bastard."
|
||
|
||
It was just then that PFC Marco Frucht saved him.
|
||
The signal soldier managed to send out a full blast
|
||
of pink noise and static on his radio so almost no
|
||
one was sure what the heck they heard. Frucht suggested
|
||
if he got called in for UCMJ, he should insist what they
|
||
heard him say was "salami stinks like a rag dipped in
|
||
chigger spit when you ride a bike haphazardly."
|
||
|
||
Marts got his chance later that day and passed with
|
||
flying colors. Ironically, the soldier who shot near
|
||
him by accident was SFC Paul Robeson, from the 3rd
|
||
Infantry, attached to the 2nd of the 77th cav.
|
||
|
||
"Yes, I'm pink-friendly," said the young special
|
||
forces soldier from Mobile Alabama, "registered
|
||
democrat, black russian jew by heritage, AND born
|
||
out of wedlock, but I took exception to the
|
||
'communist' remark." Robeson pointed out that
|
||
he isn't gay or bi, but some of his best friends
|
||
are LGBT.
|
||
|
||
The soldier behind Marts, was hit in the left wrist
|
||
and left eye by a bullet that struck the side of
|
||
the armored personnel carrier and shattered.
|
||
|
||
"Both were wounded by bullets that could have hit
|
||
me," Martz writes. He even got a chance to help
|
||
Spc. Shawn Gulliver extricate the medical supplies
|
||
from the hundreds of pounds of gear on the floor
|
||
of the vehicle and preparing the injured soldiers
|
||
for their depleted-uranium injections which allow
|
||
each injured soldier to live at least 3 extra days.

My Favorite Verse From A David Rovics Song
|
||
by marco
|
||
|
||
From Groton to Tacoma
|
||
On many a factory floor
|
||
The workers talked of solidarity
|
||
And refused to build weapons of war
|
||
No more will we make missiles
|
||
We're gonna do something different
|
||
And for the first time
|
||
Their children were proud of their parents
|
||
And somewhere in Gaza a little boy smiled and cried
|
||
After the revolution
|
||
|
||
And My Fave Verse From Another David Rovics Song
|
||
|
||
And as your Caterpillar tracks
|
||
Upon her body pressed
|
||
With twenty tons of deadly force
|
||
Crushed the bones within her chest
|
||
Could you feel the contours of her face
|
||
As you took her life away
|
||
Did you serve your country well
|
||
On that cool spring day
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Good news, and good nite.
