Sex and the city.
For those firemen who have come from rural corners of America to help out, the experience beats seeing the lights in Times Square. After their shifts, they pour into the bars around Greenwich Village and SoHo to drink and wait to be picked up. They do not need to wait long. The busiest pick-up times are from five to six p.m. during happy hour and 12 midnight to one a.m. when everyone is feeling tired and emotional.
My heros.
Jolene Blalock, science officer T’Pol on the UPN’s Star Trek series Enterprise, is a Maxim girl.
“I love when I sort of come to and I’m on the other side of the room, sweaty and breathing heavy, with bottles and ashtrays tipped over everywhere. I’m like, ‘What just happened? Oh yeah, I got laid. Gotcha.’”
Jeri Ryan, remember seven of nine?; was a Maxim girl too. Now she's on Boston Public starting Monday.
I was one of the Taliban's torturers: I crucified people.
...bin Laden joined Mullah Omar for a bird shoot on his estate. "They seemed to get on well," he said. "They would go fishing together, too - with hand grenades."
Horrible.

DEBKAfile - Hot Middle East news, before the networks get it!.

Jingoism - Maybe reading this will help me understand jingoism? A term derived from the expression `by jingo', used in a music-hall song written in support of Disraeli's stand against Russia.

Internal Documents - Obtained legally.

Barry Crimmins: Quips 9-29-01
If it gets any worse, the government will start doing cavity searches of flags before they are allowed to fly.

For those of you who don't know what the claims that political satire is dead really mean, let me explain. They mean that now that our airways, newspapers and websites are rife with some of the lamest and most hypocritical jingoism in memory, political satirists are supposed to self-censor themselves from commenting or risk being labeled as disloyal to their country and disrespectful to the victims. The victim part, in particular, is hooey. The only way to disrespect victims is to collaborate in silence with any effort that might take more innocent lives. And the only loyalty worth respecting is loyalty to the truth.

Chris Young wanted to be a millionaire. aka: What's Lt. Colombo's first name?

Ashleigh Banfield, on MSNBC, interviewed a Muslim Mullah yesterday. He said that Bush supports the killing of Palestinians by Israel so that makes him a terrorist. When Bush says, join me or the terrorists, it makes no sense because he is a terrorist himself. It's a different world view.

The whole thing is disturbing, especially Ashleigh's new black hair color. I liked her better as a blonde.

Eulogy in Honor of Mark Bingham
Delivered by Senator John McCain
San Francisco, CA
September 22, 2001
"I love my country, and I take pride in serving her. But I cannot say that I love her more or as well as Mark Bingham did, or the other heroes on United Flight 93 who gave their lives to prevent our enemies from inflicting an even greater injury on our country. It has been my fate to witness great courage and sacrifice for America's sake, but none greater than the selfless sacrifice of Mark Bingham and those good men who grasped the gravity of the moment, understood the threat, and decided to fight back at the cost of their lives.
I'm listening to Cindy Bullens' new CD Neverland. She rocks.
Barry Crimmins has new quips about the Taliban, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Air Line Pilots Association, the Federal Aviation Administration, Rudy Giuliani, George W. Bush, the House Judiciary Committee, John Ashcroft, Republicans, The Anti-Terrorist bill, American Airlines, Cantor Fitzgerald chairman Howard W. Lutnic, and Michael R. Bloomberg.
If you really want to annoy the Taliban, airdrop elementary school teachers into Afghanistan and have them teach science -- to girls.
These are more than just jokes about Osama bin Laden, it's political satire.
The Banned Books Project wants to ban the banning of books.
I put a couple of items up on eBay you might be interested in:

Last night we made a donation to the American Red Cross and the United Way September 11th Fund by going to see Hardball at General Cinema. Keanu Reeves did a nice job. I was waiting for him to say 'Whoa'; he didn't, but there were a couple of points in the movie where he thought it in his mind.

I was told that Hardball was just an updated version of Bad News Bears. Riiiight. It wasn't even the typical boy gets girl, boy looses girl, boy gets girl plot. Overall I liked it, no wonder why it's the top movie from the past two weekends.

Since I wasn't home I taped undeclared, it rocked. It was nicely done. If you liked Freaks and Geeks you'll love undeclared. Best line: "Hey, there's a scrunchie on the door and I'm not in there."
Priorities
In my efforts to make myself accessible to people who I've never even met, I have made myself inaccessible to the people who love and need me the most: my family.
