THE SHINING

"The feelgood movie of the season"

Today's song is far worse!

Help Woodsy spread the word:
"never be a dirty bird!"
In the city or in the woods
Help keep America
Looking good.
Hoot Hoot!


The sad part is the "looking Good" part I say like Freddy Prinze from Chico and the Man. loooKiiiing GoOOOOOoooD!

There is no reason this should be taking up space in my brain.

the lyrics in my head from start to finish

Playing
With little pictures that my mind sends
Counting the moments 'til my world ends
All I remembered are the bad times
And its chewing away at my insides

When you looked that way
Oh I knew you wanted to hurt
You killed all of my dreams
With your black, black heart

Night creeps
Its wicked way just like a spider
Stealing, the feelings that hide
Black heart and wild
You were so like an angry child

Pushing
Your icy fingers always crushing
Your jealous mind so disapproving
You laughed at all my ideas
And then purged my fears


Leave me alone
Stop pushing at me
You got your revenge
For the love that I lent
You're destroying my mind
You're destroying my soul
Black heart

Return of the fighting dead

Now I know most folks (that I know) discuss the mis-adventures of Dubbaya.
We all have seen him hop on TV and say silly things to the nation. Its commonplace to expect him to say at least 5 dumb-ass things when addressing the nation even more when addressing a specific group. Its enough to create a drinking game. I get to come into work and listen to people and republicans debate over what he said and what he really meant.

Since most of these folks are wrapped up in Dubbaya’s current activities, And I mean WRAPPED UP IN THEM, I don’t think any thought has been put into the massive clean up this country is going to have to do when he gets out of office.
Is this some sort of distraction technique? Let the idiot say a stupid thing a day until he’s out of office? By then no one will really have focused on the horrible mess he has made of our infrastructure let alone the fact that he has isolated us from the rest of the world.

Sometimes I wish zombie movies were true.
It would be nice to see all the people who have died because of his actions come back and seek him out.

THE DISNEYLAND I REMEMBER!

During the 80’s I took several trips to Disneyland.
Yes, with out my mother’s knowledge.
The 80’s were an odd time for the Magic Kingdom. It was in the early days of Eisner’s rule. The Park was just starting to break out of its 1950’s shell with attractions that were unusual for the park.
One was a 3-D film entitled MAGIC JOURNEYS. This was a 3-D psychedelic freak-out that included witches and pentagrams and creepy Halloween images.
This was so against the “pretty princess” image they are so desperately trying to recapture today. This movie occupied the same theater that would eventually house the Capitan EO 3-D adventure starring Michael Jackson and the Honey I shrunk … bullshit 3d film. This was in the old Tomorrowland stage where KC and the Sunshine Band used to perform. (or if you were lucky Three Dog Night! Wooo hooo!!!!)
So...
once upon a time Disney had a hands down Pagan attraction kiddies.
Sorry ya’ll missed it!

There was also a dance club in Disneyland. YES VIRGINIA, THERE WAS A DANCE CLUB. Videopolis was its name-o. This area still exists but its now that damn Snow White 17 minute stage play.
Videopolis was a place that played new wave and some “death rock” (as it was called at the time. Its now known as GOTH) music.
This was a place where you could dance with the same sex and get away with it. That was forbidden at the time even though most of the Cast members seemed very gay. An added bonus was the fact that they never patrolled the bathrooms by this damn dance floor. you could Get High in there.
Get a blow job in there. Then head on out and cut a rug with your trick du jour.
Yep that was Disneyland.


Here is a link to the Disneyland of today


NON-SEX MOUSE COCK (that was a nina hagen joke!) DISNEYLAND OF TODAY

boing!

I have come to the realization that I have been living in the shadow of death for the past 6 years. Over the past few days I have understood that I was living in fear of the inevitable end. I didn’t want to travel to far in case I got sick or caught some sort of childhood disease that will kill me. I’m not made of glass. I will not shatter. I am as strong as my belief in myself. (sorry for all you folks who had to live thru the EST years… I’m sure you’ve heard this all before.) Jerry Wright told that one day I would learn to embrace having HIV. To love the disease. How fuckin crazy is that! I thought that’s gotta be the craziest thing to say ever! This is the worst thing anyone could ever get. And on top of it… if you follow the directions you should never get it.
Well…
He’s right.
One day you wake up and realize you are alive. You finally learn to appreciate the world. You can finally enjoy your life. This condition has not taken away from me. It has empowered me. I am not afraid to feel.
I am not afraid to change.

Special message

This is special notice for the following people who have made me wait:

This message is for Ricky. When I was sick as a dog and could not move after my spinal tap. I was suffering from severe migrains and could not move. I could barely crawl let alone eat. You promised to come over with food because I had none. I was weak and unable to move. You promised. You never showed.

This message is for Greggory. You promised time and time again that you would spend the week with me. Then it was half a week because… you were at a friends. Then it was a couple of days. I made a nice dinner the first night you never showed. I put you stuff on the porch the last night you didn’t show.

This message is for the health card in my wallet. I need a specialist. Thanks for having me see a primary care physician who told me exactly what I knew. I need a specialist. Thanks for having me wait 30days to tell me what I already knew.

This message is for the disease that was supposed to kill me within five years.
That was six years ago.

This message is for anyone who has ever had to make me wait for no fuckin reason whatsoever.


your special message is:

Im not waiting anymore. I’m moving on with my life.

Simple Plan

I have been living in the same place for 15 years. A 1 bedroom apartment built in 1929. I do fear change. In fact I fear it so much I'll stay in one place for over extended periods of time. (or... Is that called being responsible and consistent)
It time for me to venture out. The seed has been planted. its time for a change. Even if its only for a little while.

Or maybe i just need to read a book.

Boom Boom

George Bush at the U.N.


I just love the way George Bush has to ask permission to use the potty.
Who did he give the note to? That is the person who really runs things!

THE WALLPAPER FROM THE MANSION

We all know I enjoy the Haunted Mansion at the only Disney theme park that matters …DISNEYLAND.

Here are links to some Haunted Mansion fan sites.
I know I know Your saying… Big f’in deal… Its a ride.
Well… you are right.
It is a stupid ride in a funpark that used to be orange groves as far as the eye could see.

But… I need to obsess on something.

Things you may find:

The history (fictional and factual) of the Mansion.
The sounds.
The Annual events.
Stories from The creators.
Scrapped concepts. The Mansions that could have been.

Last week our Leader of the Free (with Purchase) world stated "Don't buy gas if you don't need it."

What the hell?
Thanks lil Geo-Geo… go play on the slide.
Now I do believe purchasing and storing accelerants/explosives is considered is illegal and can be construed as a potential terrorist act. Does he know people who buy gas for no reason whatsoever? Does he buy gas for no reason? Does he do other things with no plan in mind?

Has anyone ever taken into consideration the amount of lead based items in the Whitehouse? Paint, some china, crystal all contain lead.
When was the plumbing changed in that damn building?
Perhaps they still wrap his leftovers in foil? I'm worried that this man is getting some sort of Brain problem.

Blitzer mad libs

BLITZER: "You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals, as Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold."


No this is not fine.
No you cant take this back.
"What an asshole."

no words needed

Critter country

So this is just a strange moment that happened in Disneyland that I want to recant to you.
Many of you know there is no good place to eat in DL. There is The Blue Bayou and the little shack below the Gallery that sells gumbo in a sourdough bowls. There is also a fine crapfoodery in a place now known as Critter Country. (formerly Bear Country) It is the Hungry Bear restaurant.
While not a restaurant ...really its a service window.. it does offer a damn creepy bathroom on the “lower level”
It is a place that does not seem to have any security at all! I love Disneyland but not having to pee in Disneyland. If I can hold it till I get to the first restroom 5 miles away I will.
No hand - sani can erase the deadly invisible germs that cover these damn Disney restrooms like a plastic plague sheet. After my 5 dollar handful of fries and 6 dollar coke. I HAD to PEE! So I used the rest room on the “lower level” .

First : it was filled with pot smoke.
O.K. hippies. Right on. You still got a place left without the fuzz to narc on you. The lower level bathroom!

And B: there was a man talking fairly loud in the last stall. A little Too loud. He was saying things as if he were reading from a children’s book . “see …I’m a little water animal and I like to poke my head out like this”
Oh dear god. I’m not sure if there is a changing table in there but… It creeped me out to no end.

Stay away from that bathroom kiddies. Its a dark place.

of my own making

Things closest to the heart I cannot speak about. I am however able to tell you why.
I don’t want to arm people with emotional ammo that they can fire back at me.
I don’t want to tell you how I feel for fear you may throw it back to me at a later date. Perhaps that action will be as effective as a flash bang grenade. A useful distracter to allow other actions to happen unnoticed. Perhaps it will be a grenade. Devastating and lethal. Or perhaps it will be used as a land mine. It will be dormant awaiting a mis-step to trigger a tragedy.

Scale it down

One of the cutest lil’ sound bites I have ever heard is Laurie Anderson saying “ I’m going to model my life after the government…. Just scale it down.” If we all did this just think of the wonderful world we would live in.
Lets say you invite me over to … oh let say… paint your house. I tell you I’ll be there with all the equipment to paint the house. Then when the day comes around I’m nowhere to be found. Strangers and neighbors help you paint your house. I show up 5 days later after the job has been done and ask … “what can I do? “ and comment that the paint job is poor and it needs to be fixed.


Oh and the dead slave laborer painters in the back yard are beginning to stink and you better evacuate your home.


THANK YOU USA FOR SHOWING ME THE PROPER WAY TO ACT!

I’m proud to be an asshole!

Nagin's Nightmare: Full Transcript
CNN just sent out the full transcript of the New Orleans Mayor's emotional and (understandably) expletive-laden interview on local radio yesterday: "excuse my French everybody in America, but I am pissed."

It's after the jump.

RELATED: Ray Nagin for President, Anderson Cooper for Secretary of Take No Shit [Wonkette]


CNN airs WWL Radio interview with New Orleans Mayor Ray ;

This is a rush transcript and may not be in its final format.

RAY NAGIN, MAYOR OF NEW ORLEANS: I told him we had an incredible crisis here and that his flying over in Air Force One does not do it justice. And that I have been all around this city, and I am very frustrated because we are not able to marshal resources and we're out-manned in just about every respect.

You know the reason why the looters got out of control? Because we had most of our resources saving people, thousands of people that were stuck in attics, man, old ladies. When you pull off the doggone ventilator vent and you look down there and they're standing in there in water up to their freaking necks.

And they don't have a clue what's going on down here. They flew down here one time two days after the doggone event was over with TV cameras, AP reporters, all kind of goddamn -- excuse my French everybody in America, but I am pissed.

GARLAND ROBINETTE, WWL CORRESPONDENT: Did you say to the president of the United States, "I need the military in here"?

NAGIN: I said, "I need everything."

Now, I will tell you this -- and I give the president some credit on this -- he sent one John Wayne dude down here that can get some stuff done, and his name is General Honore.

And he came off the doggone chopper and he started cussing and people started moving. And he's getting some stuff done.

They ought to give that guy -- if they don't want to give it to me, give him full authority to get the job done, and we can save some people.

ROBINETTE: What do you need right now to get control of this situation?

NAGIN: I need reinforcements, I need troops, man. I need 500 buses, man. We ain't talking about -- you know, one of the briefings we had, they were talking about getting public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out here.

I'm like, "You got to be kidding me. This is a national disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound busline in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."

That's -- they're thinking small, man. And this is a major, major, major deal. And I can't emphasize it enough, man. This is crazy.

I've got 15,000 to 20,000 people over at the convention center. It's bursting at the seams. The poor people in Plaquemines Parish. They're air-vacing people over here in New Orleans. We don't have anything and we're sharing with our brothers in Plaquemines Parish.

It's awful down here, man.

ROBINETTE: Do you believe that the president is seeing this, holding a news conference on it but can't do anything until Kathleen Blanco requested him to do it? And do you know whether or not she has made that request?

NAGIN: I have no idea what they're doing. But I will tell you this: You know, God is looking down on all this and if they are not doing everything in their power to save people they are going to pay the price. Because every day that we delay, people are dying and they're dying by the hundreds, I'm willing to bet you.

We're getting reports and calls that are breaking my heart, from people saying, "I've been in my attic. I can't take it anymore. The water is up to my neck. I don't think I can hold out." And that's happening as we speak.

You know what really upsets me, Garland? We told everybody the importance of the 17th Street Canal issue. We said, "Please, please take care of this. We don't care what you do. Figure it out."

ROBINETTE: Who'd you say that to?

NAGIN: Everybody: the governor, Homeland Security, FEMA. You name it, we said it.

And they allowed that pumping station next to Pumping Station 6 to go under water. Our sewage and water board people -- Marcia St. Martin (ph) -- stayed there and endangered their lives.

And what happened when that pumping station went down, the water started flowing again in the city and it starting getting to levels that probably killed more people. In addition to that, we had water flowing through the pipes in the city. That's a power station over there. So there's no water flowing anywhere on the east bank of Orleans Parish. So our critical water supply was destroyed because of lack of
action.

ROBINETTE: Why couldn't they drop the 3,000-pound sandbags or the containers that they were talking about earlier? Was it an engineering feat that just couldn't be done?

NAGIN: They said it was some pulleys that they had to manufacture. But, you know, in a state of emergency, man, you are creative, you figure out ways to get stuff done.

Then they told me that they went overnight and they built 17 concrete structures and they had the pulleys on them and they were going to drop them.

I flew over that thing yesterday and it's in the same shape that it was after the storm hit. There is nothing happening. And they're feeding the public a line of bull and they're spinning, and people are dying down here.

ROBINETTE: If some of the public called and they're right, that

there's a law that the president, that the federal government can't do anything without local or state requests, would you request martial law?

NAGIN: I've already called for martial law in the city of New Orleans. We did that a few days ago.

ROBINETTE: Did the governor do that, too?

NAGIN: I don't know. I don't think so.

But we called for martial law when we realized that the looting was getting out of control. And we redirected all of our police officers back to patrolling the streets. They were dead-tired from saving people but they worked all night because we thought this thing was going to blow wide open last night. And so we redirected all of our resources and we hold it under check.

I'm not sure if we can do that another night with the current resources.

And I am telling you right now: They're showing all these reports of people looting and doing all that weird stuff, and they are doing that, but people are desperate and they're trying to find food and water, the majority of them.

Now, you got some knuckle heads out there and they are taking advantage of this lawless -- this situation where, you know, we can't really control it, and they're doing some awful, awful things. But that's a small majority of the people. Most people are looking to try and survive.

And one of the things people -- nobody's talked about this. Drugs flowed in and out of New Orleans and the surrounding metropolitan area so freely it was scary to me, and that's why we were having the escalation in murders. People don't want to talk about this, but I'm going to talk about it.

You have drug addicts that are now walking around this city looking for a fix, and that's that reason why they were breaking in hospitals and drug stores. They're looking for something to take the edge off of their jones, if you will.

And right now, they don't have anything to take the edge off. And they've probably found guns. So what you're seeing is drug- starving crazy addicts, drug addicts, that are wrecking havoc. And we don't have the manpower to adequately deal with it. We can only target certain sections of the city and form a perimeter around them and hope to God that we're not overrun.

ROBINETTE: Well, you and I must be in the minority. Because apparently there's a section of our citizenry out there that thinks because of a law that says the federal government can't come in unless requested by the proper people, that everything that's going on to this point has been done as good as it can possibly be.

NAGIN: Really?

ROBINETTE: I know you don't feel that way.

NAGIN: Well, did the tsunami victims request? Did it go through a formal process to request?

You know, did the Iraqi people request that we go in there? Did they ask us to go in there?

What is more important?

And I'll tell you, man, I'm probably going get in a whole bunch of trouble. I'm probably going to get in so much trouble it ain't even funny. You probably won't even want to deal with me after this interview is over.

ROBINETTE: You and I will be in the funny place together.

NAGIN: But we authorized $8 billion to go to Iraq lickety-quick. After 9/11, we gave the president unprecedented powers lickety-quick to take care of New York and other places.

Now, you mean to tell me that a place where most of your oil is coming through, a place that is so unique when you mention New Orleans anywhere around the world, everybody's eyes light up -- you mean to tell me that a place where you probably have thousands of people that have died and thousands more that are dying every day, that we can't figure out a way to authorize the resources that we need? Come on, man.

You know, I'm not one of those drug addicts. I am thinking very clearly.

And I don't know whose problem it is. I don't know whether it's the governor's problem. I don't know whether it's the president's problem, but somebody need to get their ass on a plane and sit down, the two of them, and figure this out right now.

ROBINETTE: What can we do here?

NAGIN: Keep talking about it.

ROBINETTE: We'll do that. What else can we do?

NAGIN: Organize people to write letters and make calls to their congressmen, to the president, to the governor. Flood their doggone offices with requests to do something.

This is ridiculous.

I don't want to see anybody do anymore goddamn press conferences. Put a moratorium on press conferences. Don't do another press conference until the resources are in this city. And then come down to this city and stand with us when there are military trucks and troops that we can't even count.

Don't tell me 40,000 people are coming here. They're not here. It's too doggone late.

Now get off your asses and do something, and let's fix the biggest goddamn crisis in the history of this country.

ROBINETTE: I'll say it right now, you're the only politician that's called and called for arms like this. And if -- whatever it takes, the governor, president -- whatever law precedent it takes, whatever it takes, I bet that the people listening to you are on your side.

NAGIN: Well, I hope so, Garland. I am just -- I'm at the point now where it don't matter. People are dying. They don't have homes. They don't have jobs. The city of New Orleans will never be the same in this time.

ROBINETTE: We're both pretty speechless here.

NAGIN: Yeah, I don't know what to say.

I got to go.

ROBINETTE: OK. Keep in touch. Keep in touch.

Ray Nagin for President, Anderson Cooper for Secretary of Take No Shit
Anderson Cooper shows what happens when take away a man's Kiehl's for a week: He skin gets dry but the scales fall from his eyes.

KING: Anderson Cooper in Biloxi, Mississippi and you were an angry man today, Anderson at what?

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I wouldn't say I'm angry, you know. I think I'm tired of hearing the politicians say that, you know, they understand the frustration of people down here. To me, you know, it's not frustration. It's not that people are frustrated.

It's that people are dying. I mean there are people dying. They're drowning to death and they drown in their living rooms and their bodies are rotting where they drowned and there are corpses in the street being eaten by rats and this is the United States of America.

In a similar vein, N.O. Mayor Ray Nagin gave indignation an elegant if slightly blue gloss yesterday on local radio:
"After 9/11 we gave the president unprecented powers to take care of New York and those other places.... you mean to tell me that a place where thousands of people and thousands more people are dying, we can't figure out [how to get them help]. . . Somebody needs to get their ass on a plane and sit down and sit down the two them figure this out."
And he offers a fine suggestion:
"I don't want to see anybody to anymore more goddamn press conferences. Put a moratorium on press conferences. Don't do another press conference until the resources are in this city."

The President will be speaking at the New Orleans airport at 2:50PM.

I agree...Im sure you do too.

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane
Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be
airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military
choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears
parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could
really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do
like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to
begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of
Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then
but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there
were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this
storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody
tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know
how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go
to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed
her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying
to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps.
Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane
was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you
specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New
Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them
that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there
weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you
had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING
DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I
was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the
clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of
the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and
stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there
done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to
use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out.
Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this
would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter
and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all
their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about
a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado
that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30
percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had
no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean,
it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving
white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race
has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army
helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and
the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch.
She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now
driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way
(http://bringthemhomenowtour.org/ ). Maybe you can catch up with them
before they get to DC on September 21st.

We are on our own

President Bush is on his way to the devastation area in Katrina's wake. He will be reassuring people that he is unhappy with the response for aid and will reassure people that something will be done.

He has no plan. There is no plan. He and his band of idiots have no idea how to cope with a situation of this magnitude.

Ladies and gentlemen...
We are on our own.
We are responsible for securing a future for ourselves.

Liar

There is one thing that I cannot stand. (well…there are many but this ranks in the top two) Being blamed for something I did not do. It stems from a childhood event. When I was six I was blamed for stealing Diamonds from this girl Kelly’s mom. I liked this girl. When do I get the opportunity to say that and mean it? I liked her as much as a six year old could. I went to her door and knocked. No one answered. I looked down and there was a cardboard box of pens on the door step. I was overcome with an impulse that I will regret to this day. I took out a pen and wrote on the box “ tO kELLy , I love yoU BRiAn” and left it on the doorstep.
Later that day her older brother came down to my house to bring me back to Kelly’s house to talk to the mom. I was scared. Her brother tried to drag me out of my house. I was screaming. He told my Mum that I had stolen family diamonds out of the cardboard pen box. I didn’t. I only tried to tell the only girl on the block I loved her. This escalated. Other kids teased me. School was where I got beat up. I didn’t want to go to school and I didn’t want to go out to play. I couldn’t for fear of getting chased or beaten up. I know I’m grown up now but this event colors the way I act when I am accused of something I didn’t do. I react in anger. Most people perceive this as guilt. My reaction doesn’t help the situation much.
