Trimmed Bush


One can define style as the proper words at the proper places at the proper times. Anyone who saw Bush's "inspirational" speech on Sunday saw that Bush's style is so ludicrous that it makes Jethro Bodine from the Beverly Hillbillies look like Richard Gere on the cover of GQ magazine.

The backdrop of the intact parish and the equestrian statue lit up to the intensity of a Rolling Stones concert in a city that supposedly has no electricity, and the words that ran so shallow from the shell of a human being spewing them forth to the masses was insulting.

It turns out as the whole fucking nation was tracking this huge red blob on the weather channel by the minute and hour, with warnings on every channel, even the U.S. spanish-speaking channels, the president of our country, our Commander-in-Chief, our protector in times of danger, didn't even know about the storm until after it had hit New Orleans. HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!!

For comparison, in 1965 when New Orleans got pounded by a category four hurricane, Lyndon Baines Johnson was amongst the "underpriveledged" (Barbarba Bush's words), within eighteen hours, comforting the people with a flashlight, beaming it on his face like a boy scout on a campfire trip making spooky faces, but reassuring the decimated people that help was on the way and he would be there with them in the dark and the cold until the cavalry came. And it came quick, by the second day things were regrouping. This this was forty-one years ago.

That's presidential style. Bush didn't even know about KATRINA. He must have had the biggest brain-fart in recent presidential history, maybe he was on a coke-bender, a Jim Beam-fest, I mean, what was it? It may have been that he was so goddammed ignorant to realize that a huge red swirling mass on a weather map going due west towards a huge metropolitan area is a bad thing. It took him eighteen days and and truckload of krieg lights and a spared parish of which directly behind it was total decimation for his style to emerge. LBJ's took eighteen HOURS for him to be in a shelter with the affected people of New Orleans.

Bunnypant's ratings will be out the window at all time lows now, but folks, and you folks in Louisiana who fell for his religious bullshit, you shouldn't vote for a man that lied to you regarding war. The facts were out there last election. There was no reason for him to be vacationing for the 4th time since April since he hasn't accomplished anything except destruction. You folks who voted for this man should be ashamed for the rest of your lives. I mean, the guy is a failure, how much proof do you need?

By the way, what has the vice-president been doing except gaining weight the past year? He might be meeting with top-notch lawyers to begin his defense on charges of starting an illegal war. It is not time to pity this fatty during his time of bad health and despair. He is a wicked man who pulled an evil stunt that has cost thousands of lives and will continue to be a mess for years to come. It's karma. The golden rule. He'll be in bad shape the rest of his life. The head cheese from Tyco just got 25 years in a New York State Penetentiary. That's like Riker Island. If all goes well and justice is served, Cheney will at the very least get federel time, a little less harsh than state time but no cakewalk.

But back to the president. Don't you think he would have read a newspaper or watched a television? Is the show "The West Wing" that far off base? They supposedly have the inner-workings of a presidential day dramatized, with an exact replica of the oval office and all that. It's just so goddammed incredulous that this dunce didn't know about Katrina. Martin Sheen knew, I'll tell ya that. And his advisors, too.

I resent Bush. The wrongs he has made this nation endure are inexcusable. I resent the fact he took an oath to protect the citizens of our nation. I try to keep my karma in check and try not to hate even a guy like Hussein, but I do hate Hussein and I hate Bush equally. Four years since the attack of this country and there are no plans for another attack. There just isn't anything that would protect us in a case of an attack, another hurricane, or wait till the big one hits Los Angeles. It will make New Orleans seem like a gust of wind. Not ONE FUCKING THING has been done at the federal level. That is not acceptable.

Bush's legacy can be summed up into 12 words: "I came, I saw, I decimated the fuck out of a superpower." I just want to congratulate the fuck out of you idiots who voted for this slug for a first legal term. My only prayer is some Washington hotshot lawyer doesn't call the Democrats on the fact that Bush was never elected in 2000, which would legally make him available for four more years. You want to see the end of destruction? Put him in for four more. He'd be so overwhelmed with the mess he has made of everything he has ever touched, maybe we could get him to be the the first president to go to Jupiter. We have scientists that have the ability to fool him into the voyage, and we could send him off with a great big banner saying "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!" Bon Voyage, Bunnyboy. And I hope Einstein's theory on aging goes haywire with you.

from Bruce

Andrew Tobias: DEBT!
At $8 trillion now, our National Debt - accumulated since 1776 - will have reached $10 trillion or so by the time President Bush leaves office. Of this, roughly $8 trillion will have been racked up under just three presidents: Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and George Bush.


Cindy Sheehan: There Is No 'Noble Cause' For War (TruthOut.org. Posted on Alternet.org)
Over 200 Iraqis have been killed this week alone. How much more blood are we going to allow them to spill before we demand an end to this war and an accounting for the lives that have been needlessly ruined?


Bob Herbert: 'Believe Bush again and end up like Charlie Brown'
This president has had zero interest in attacking poverty, and the result has been an increase in poverty in the United States, the richest country in the world, in each of the last four years. Instead of attacking poverty, the Bush administration has attacked the safety net and has stubbornly refused to stop the decline in the value of the minimum wage on his watch.


Michael Corbin: Dire Education (citypaper.com)
When you walk into a classroom of almost any Baltimore City public school this fall you immediately face the facts of 21st-century educational apartheid. The white children are absent. They left a while ago and won't be coming back.


Mike Grayson: The Rise of the Critic and the Death of the Teacher (irascibleprofessor.com)
I did, however, gain useful insight into the nature of literary criticism: you need not make sense, add anything new to the body of human knowledge or spend much time researching a given topic to publish a monograph with a respectable publishing house.

Purple Gene Reviews

'Rock Star: INXS'



Purple Gene's review of the one hour finale of "Rock Star: INXS" on CBS: Hosted by Brooke Burke (Mrs. Garth Fisher - plastic surgeon's wife & former host of "Weakest Link") and tattooed Dave Navarro (Mr. Carmen Electra and guitar player for Jane's Addiction") and the 5 remnants of the once infamous Australian rock band INXS!

We call this the "American Idol-ish pick a new lead singer for defunct bunch of Aussie Rockers on commercial TV" !!!!!!



Here's the sad truth……..INXS was a fucking great band when they had their super sexy lead singer named Michael Hutchence…..long haired tattooed fuck the mike kinda energy….."I'll Give you What you Need"!!!..... "I Need You Tonight"!!...."New Sensation"!!!!! Well back in 1999, at the height of their success, Michael hung himself in a hotel room in Sydney !!!!!!!

Well this was really and truly a tragedy….but the band decided to stay together and 18 month's later they went on the road with Terrence Trent D'Arby fronting them….but nobody could match the sultry passion of Hutchence….SOOOOOOOOOOO… somebody from CBS decided to make a reality show out of this lead singerless band…(I remember when AC-DC's lead singer drank himself to death and they quietly found another great guy)….but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not INXS …for 13 weeks they've been whittling away at 15 singers night after night in front of a live audience and finally tonight we get the new front man for INXS!



And the winner is……J.D. Fortune !!!!!!!

I'm sorry …this is like replacing Mick Jagger with Bo Bice………won't work!

Purple Gene gives "Rock Star: INXS" 5 drumsticks out of 10 primarily for the "House Band" who rocked and also for Brooke's phony tits…and Dave Navarro's Tats !

Last Night

Still sunny & cool.

The JetBlue with the bad front landing gear was diverted from Burbank to Long Beach. Local news said it was likely because that's where JetBlue's maintenance shop is located.

Long Beach is where they determined that yes, the front wheel was out of phase.

Then it was decided the jet should land at LAX because the runway was longer.

Kinda struck me funny that they had to fly around for 3 more hours because there was NO way to dump the fuel.

This is a relatively new jet - built in 2002. And no way to dump fuel. But, they have TVs at every seat.

Gets Star on Walk O'Fame

Mike Medavoy

Orion Pictures co-founder and producer Mike Medavoy has nurtured the careers of some of Hollywood's brightest stars, from Steven Spielberg to Jane Fonda. Now Hollywood has given him a star on its Walk of Fame.

Among those who turned out to witness the star's unveiling were Sean Penn, Sylvester Stallone, Patricia Clarkson, former Gov. Jerry Brown, former Mayor Richard Riordan and Medavoy's wife, Irena.

Medavoy, now Phoenix Pictures' chairman, headed up production at United Artists in the 1970s, propelling Oscar-winning films such as "Rocky" and "Annie Hall."

He co-founded Orion Pictures in 1978, and his 12 years at the studio led to a stream of hits including "Platoon," "Amadeus," "The Terminator," "Dances With Wolves" and "The Silence of the Lambs." During his tenure as chairman of TriStar Pictures, the studio released critical and commercial hits such as "Philadelphia," "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Legends of the Fall."

'Lost' Film Discovered

Georges Melies

The short film "Cleopatra", made in 1899 by pioneering director Georges Melies and thought lost to history, has been discovered in a secret storeroom in France, his descendants said.

Lasting just two minutes, the film was the 202nd of 520 made by Melies between 1896 and 1912 and is considered a groundbreaking classic in the early history of cinema.

A designer, illustrator and Paris theatre owner, Melies gained international recognition with his film "A Trip to the Moon" in 1902.

Japanese Music Industry Rallies for Victims

Hurricane Katrina

Japanese music stars joined by New Orleans blues legend Dr. John launched an appeal Wednesday for Japanese artists and fans to donate to victims of Hurricane Katrina which ravaged America's jazz capital.

Some 20 music celebrities have enlisted so far in the newly formed group, Hurricane Aid Japan, which plans to raise funds for Katrina's victims through concerts and other events.

"There are a lot of forgotten people," Dr. John said. "People who got no money, no food, no medical treatment."

He said the US government could have taken measures against the natural disaster. "This could have been done 50 years ago. I got angry," he said.

Bluffing Or Fluffing?

World Poker Tour

The parent company of the "World Poker Tour" has sued its outlet, the Travel Channel, for allegedly interfering with plans to develop a new poker series on ESPN.

According to the suit, WPT had the right to develop other poker-related programming, provided it gave the Travel Channel the first opportunity to license the show and the last right to refusal.

WPT said it proposed such a show, "Professional Poker Tour," in July 2004 but that negotiations with the defendants were not successful in the 60-day exclusive window.

WPT said it then shopped the show to other networks, including ESPN, which proposed to license the show September 12. That triggered a 15-day "last refusal" period for the defendants, who allegedly sent threatening letters to WPT and ESPN.

Kate Moss

Burberry canceled a deal with supermodel Kate Moss and Chanel decided not to renew her contract Wednesday, as police said they were investigating allegations that she recently used cocaine.

Confirmation of the investigation came a day after Hennes & Mauritz, Europe's largest fashion retailer, canceled plans to use the 31-year-old model in an upcoming ad campaign.

Moss has been the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume since 2002. Le Blevec said the company would continue using ads that feature her until the contract expires.

No Title On The Paperback

Tom Wolfe

In an unusual publishing move, Tom Wolfe's most-recent novel, "I Am Charlotte Simmons," will be printed without the title on the cover of its paperback edition -- just its author's name in giant letters.

The paperback cover of the sexually charged tale of contemporary U.S. college life contains only Wolfe's name and a picture of a young woman in a green dress, presumably to symbolize Charlotte Simmons.

"We are using Tom Wolfe's name as a brand, rather than the title of the book. He is an icon himself," said Tanya Farrell, publicity director for Picador USA, which is printing more than 2 million copies of the 738-page novel in which the 74-year-old writer tries to infiltrate the minds of American college students.

The Naked Rambler

Stephen Gough

A man attempting to walk the length of Britain stark naked for a second time was arrested once again -- seconds after walking out of jail, police revealed.

So-called "Naked Rambler" Stephen Gough, 46, was stopped by officers he left the gates of Edinburgh's Saughton Prison on Friday and taken to the city's Sheriff Court.

Public nudity is illegal in Britain but that has not stopped Gough attempting a second trek wearing nothing but boots, a hat and a rucksack.

He walked the 874-mile (1,363-kilometre) length of Britain from Land's End in southwest England to John o' Groats in 2003-2004 and was arrested 14 times during the trip, serving two jail terms.

Lands Safely at LAX

JetBlue

A airliner with faulty landing gear touched down safely Wednesday evening at Los Angeles International Airport after circling the region for three hours with its front wheels turned sideways and unable to retract into the plane.

JetBlue flight 292 left Bob Hope Airport in Burbank at 3:17 p.m. for New York's JFK airport, said JetBlue spokesman Bryan Baldwin.

The Airbus A320 first circled the Long Beach Airport, about 30 miles south of Burbank, and then was cleared to land at Los Angeles International Airport. It stayed in flight to burn off fuel before landing, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Donn Walker.

In Memory

Molly Yard

Molly Yard, the longtime liberal activist who led the National Organization for Women during the fight over the nomination of Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court, died Wednesday. She was 93.

Yard was elected president of NOW in 1987 after nearly a decade on its national staff. She stepped down in late 1991, after suffering a stroke at her office earlier that year.

She made NOW more visible and worked against Bork, whom the Senate rejected as President Reagan's high court nominee after a bitter political battle in 1987. She said he might provide a fifth vote to override the high court's 1973 ruling legalizing abortion.

Earlier, Yard worked for various Democratic candidates, including John F. Kennedy in 1960 and George McGovern in 1972. She became active in NOW in Pittsburgh in 1974 and joined its national staff in 1978.

In Memory

Willie Hutch

Veteran singer-songwriter-producer Willie Hutch, who helped compose several hits for the Jackson 5, died Tuesday of undisclosed causes in Dallas. He was 59.

Best known for his work at Motown, his association with the label began in 1970 when record producer Hal Davis asked Hutch to help complete a song for the Jackson 5. "I'll Be There" became a hit for the group as did Hutch's subsequent collaborations with the quintet: "Got to Be There" and "Never Can Say Goodbye."

Hired to work regularly with other Motown artists by label founder Berry Gordy, Hutch logged production credits on albums by the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, among others.

Branching into soundtracks, Hutch penned the music for the 1973 blaxploitation movie "The Mack." The critically acclaimed soundtrack spun off two of Hutch's biggest R&B hits, "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" and "Slick."
