Charlize Theron may be cast as AeonFlux in a new movie. That would be pretty sweet.

More wisdom from Mark Morford, this time about Bush’s raping of the environment.
This is a quote from the story that Morford links to in his column:
“For example, the panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on lead poisoning was recently planning to strengthen the lead poisoning regulations, in response to science showing that smaller amounts than previously understood could cause brain damage in children, Knobloch said.
Before the panel could act, Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson rejected the recommendation and replaced two members of the panel with individuals tied to the lead industry, Knobloch said.”
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Just another example of how Bush has used his presidency to turn the world into his own personal playground and bankbook. Whatever makes him happy, makes him and his buddies richer.
Morford:“Look. We reflect the planet. The planet reflects us. And 60 out of 60 scientists agree: BushCo’s time of reflecting nothing but cruel blackness and abuse needs to come to an end, right now.”
Amen.
Welcome to Aryanfest, a Nazi picnic in Arizona. “Except for the occasional zeig heils, the festivities were reminiscent of a gay pride picnic, with shaved-headed men merrily romping about with arms around each other.” Ha!
I like bunnies.
You’re Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you’re
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You’d
be recognized as such if you weren’t always talking about talking rabbits.

What the fuck is this?!?!?!?
“Attorney General John Ashcroft is demanding records of abortions performed on hundreds of women at six Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country” This administration is absolutely out of control. This is such an outrageous invasion of privacy.
“Asked about patients’ privacy rights, Ashcroft insisted the Justice Department was taking “every precaution possible” to “mask identifying characteristics of patients and to expunge, if you would, the identifying names and addresses, those kinds of things.” Yeah right. Like they’re not going to make some list of these women to file away for a rainy day. Unbelieveable.
This is just infuriating. Check out the official licensed products for The Passion of the Christ. I think my favorite would be the Nail Pendant. Yes, “Dying was his reason for living”, so “Make a statement of faith” and buy this tasteful NAIL TO WEAR AROUND YOUR NECK.
Evidently, God is being given credit for co-writing the screenplay Mel Gibson’s new movie. God even has His own imdb.com page now. I love this quote from the yahoo story: “An attempt to reach a real, live editor for comment at the Seattle-based IMDb.com was unsuccessful. No attempt was made to reach God. (We figured He was busy.)”
Meet Peanut Butter and Jelly. These little turtles were conjoined at their bellies for most of their lives, but were surgically separated. How cute!
Howard Stern’s show has been suspended for indecency. While not a fan of Stern myself, this is getting ridiculous.
The local morning radio show that I listen to here in L.A., Kevin and Bean on KROQ, got censored last week when Clear Channel made them cancel a popular Thursday-morning segment of their show, Sex University, where the crew and callers would participate in a lively discussion about a sex-based topic. There were a bunch of times that I found the show very informative and helpful. They talked about safe sex and STD’s, as well as bondage, swinging, piercing and every other topic you could think of. It wasn’t indecent in the least. They were trying to open people’s minds to different lifestyles and give people new ideas for a healthy sex life.
This kind of censorship is ridiculous - it’s un-American. You don’t like it? Don’t listen to it. Turn it off. Listen to something else. Listen to fucking Rush Limbaugh if that’s what floats your boat (although, if you ask me, his spewing is more “indecent” than Stern’s). I don’t need the government protecting my “delicate sensibilities” and telling me what I can/cannot or should/should not listen to.
This is an awesome site that does custom t-shirts with retro (70s and 80s) designs. They’ve got music, tv, sports…very cool. I like the Masters of the Universe and Dukes of Hazard.
