Red baiting editoral editoral concerning how evil the BBC is. ( I think what evil means in this context is "does not agree with Pax Americana, but i may be wrong)

While talking to Sean about politics, we decided that we needed to know which riding Stockwell Day was in, while we didnt find that out, we found this little tool which when refreshed gives the reader a new and stupid alliance qoute.

Random Favourites include :

If a community decides this is how you're going to dress and these are the punishments, who are we to say [different]?" - Cariboo-Chilcotin Alliance MP Phillip Mayfield when asked why he believed that the torture and imprisonment of women for not wearing a veil should not be grounds for granting asylum, The Globe and Mail, March 24, 1995. (which is remeisncet of the policies of dead dutch facist pym fountain)

or

"Homosexuality is a choice, in my view." - Stockwell Day on a Vancouver radio talk show, July 2000.

or

"People like myself say, ’Fix the problem. Put him in the general [prison] population. The moral prisoners will deal with him in a way we don’t have the nerve to do.’ " - Stockwell Day on why serial child-murderer Clifford Olson should serve his life sentence in the general prison population.

i recommend reading them aloud at yr next dinner party, amusement or debate will occur depending on the guest list.

A blog style list of stupid security marks a place where paranoia has won over common sense.
here, search for the omlet incident, which is a highlight.

The history of the photo both, everyones favourite creator of ready mades and multiplies. I like the way the pictures turn out, esp. as a kind of souvineer.

need to do it with bryan.

Although i have not read Paul Eluarad in anything but translation--the work always seems to be imbued with this subtle surrealism which grows from a kind of slant view natrualism.

The first of these haiku is the imagery that occurs on a lazy day when looking at clouds, every day oddness marks itself as extraordianry by the way things are not by how they could be.

exact opposite of breton in that way.

when i say put god out of public discourse i mean two things:

1) church and the state has to be seperated, because to call god is to call to a power that cannot be discussed.
2) calling to a christian god ignores all of the citizens who are not christian.

i believe in god deeply, but i unsure that he can make good goverence.

In focus groups, online polling, and one-on-one discussion, Extreme for Jesus has found that the number one reason teens don't read the Bible is that it is "too big and freaky looking." This fashion-magazine format for the New Testament is the perfect solution to that problem. Teen girls feel comfortable exploring the Scriptures and over 500 further-study notes because of the relevant format! from here

ok quickly.

1) Its the fucking bible, it is not an easy book to read, and the complexity is part of the point. cateriting it to the vacous really wont help.
2) extreme for jesus !?
3) fashion magazine format, i can imagine the picture shoots on reptentant whores with more magadelene.
4) so many demographic bibles, so little time, whats wrong with a black and white, decent translation.

in more surprising news, apparently large fines do not really mean much for companies who have decided that they would rather pollute.

They are not only killing unarmed black men in LA but in New Orleans.
anyone want to tell me this isnt buisness usual?

Monogamy is hardly normative in the male, particularly in youth. The marriage issue, however, is a great boon for homophobes, because it lets them sidestep all the things that should be set right, from sodomy laws in various states to discrimination in the workplace. Also, marriage makes people think of God, who is so very important to our poor, bamboozled folks. The founders (and I) wanted God thrown out the window at Philadelphia, but the crazies breed like chiggers, and he keeps slithering back in.

Is the fact that they are cutting budgets for air marshalls an indication that terrorism is no longer as much of an issue, or is this economic convenience immedaitly trumping large scale concerns or is there anything going on ?

rereading the link, it has been revised and ammended ot a new policy.
the old one would have cut marshalls on flights to denver,frisco, la, nyc and chicago.

zombies with their issues of the body, of autonomy, of complexity concering the other, with their exoticism and with their lo fi cache would seem to have been as rich a source for metaphoric and allegorical thinking as vampires or frakenstien. they arent

Occupation Watch have opened an office in Bagdahd to counsel soilders and others on pacifist issues, and keep watch on issues that have gone unreported. See more here

Cops are violent, piggish pseudo citizens who cum every time they take their night sticks out. Cops abuse the poor, the other.

Cops are useless.


This might be unreasonable.

Two cops beat the shit out of an innocent black man, who could not defend himself. They were both acquited. We used to have riots about these things, but really, why should we care about buisness as usual.

minor thirds mail from chris p, two cdrs, wonderfully evocotive and exciting works, hoping long reviews soon .

got a ride home from robert who has spent 13 yrs hear but originally from southern poland, talked mostly about politics.

Danielle left for toronto and I emotionally disengaged, I didn’t want to deal with the implications of her leaving, I did not want to process another person that I cared about leaving, so I refused to actually deal. Especially since last year she completely fucking ignored me.

So she comes back, and wants to forget last year, wants it ot be high school, wants to be my best friend in the word, and shes gone to the bigger city in 4 months, and I could work through it but really what’s the point. I’m different, shes different. Best to let sleeping dogs lie. (cliché)

In the last 6 months I have found Patrick and Bryan. Look, I am a major emotional fuck up, I have a bunker, and no one goes down. People leave, and because people leave, people are not let in. with in days, bryan got the key to the bunker, and pats further down there then anybody since glenys. Its not comfortable, in fact it is deeply painful, and I have tried every trick in the book (cliché) to manage to push them away. I have been surly,angry, combative, passive agreesive, maniplutive, petulant. I have put my shell over my head and I have spit nails. They are not leaving. I do not know how I feel about this.

As well, aside from this newness, Danielle encountered sesmic changes in how I viewed the world. Sexually, spiritually, politically, professionally and personally, I had become a different person, and a person that I am still trying to parse and identify.

So there is me, in this sensitive, raw, newness with two people that I was pushing towards and away with equal vigour, with a church that I was fighting with, with a god that I was angry at, with my queerness entering a stage that I could not identify. All I wanted her to do was forget the history, burn it. I would make an effort, but really not much of one.

Something happened in the middle of that plan(one of the reasons why I belive in god, is that every story has a place where you can say that, it suggests as much as you try to control the universe, the universe really doesn’t take direction well, natures a bitch goddess.) What happened was Patrick and Bryan fell head over heels for her (cliché), not only as someone they would like to fuck, but someone they would like to love. (love?)

I don’t understand it, don’t pretend to. But I didn’t want them to pursue the romantic angle, for a huge variety of reasons. They made a pact that made her seem like property, though I do not think this was the intention at all. It worked for a while, and then something happened.

Bryan and Danielle have become a closed set. Time together with them is time together with a couple and I have no idea how conscious or delibrarte it is. Patrick told me that if that couplehood had happened then he doesn’t think that he could deal with it, and he would no longer be friends with bryan. If that couplehood happened I couldn’t deal with it and I would disengage with him as well.

Bryan has settled things with pat, but I was so angry last night, I shut down. I am still angry, and am unsure why.
We talked until the sun came up, and we settled things sort of, but things are still in jeopardy.

Pats party is on the 21st, d leaves on the 26th .
Things are brewing, and it doesn’t look good)

(the other thing that bryan and I talked about was sean and politics. He does not have a mutlpicity of discourses, and I do. Talking to him is limited and frustrating, because he refuses to discuss what I am talking about in the terms that I am using.

(I haven’t talked to d about this, and perhaps I should. I can’t bring myself to, writing means that confration can be mediated.)
