*moved*...
eleven foot ceilings and wooden floors help me feel lawrence-y (the student ghetto at KU is a neighbourhood of split-out Victorians)
i wonder when the amount of available foreclosed housing sitting empty is going to match the number of homeless | | Monday, May 5th, 2008 | | 11:47 pm |
last transmission from n third ave
i've left the computer to the last, scrubbing my ex-bubble
i randomly won five bucks on a dead horse
Cowboy story from Joe I work with: Saw a quarter horse go down coming out of the gate in Pocatello. They immediately put it down and then brought a backhoe out and put a chain around the neck and dragged it off and it was totally disgusting.
Indian story from Erv I work with: Saw a horse go down in a rodeo up on the rez. It was up but broken and they led it to a corner and shot it. Then buncha men came from across the arena and the whole thing was butchered in less than five minutes and it was totally amazing.
Erv's my new neighbour.

Children of the revolution by Kirsty MacColl and Johnny Marr
from ablum Electric Landlady, 1991
Children of the revolution coming out to play
Bombers ripped the night apart and blew the school away
Some live on the south side and they overlook the water
Some live on the north side and they're looking at the border
And those children of the revolution see the soldiers come
Smiling at the widows as they take away the sons
Children of the revolution shot down with a brand new gun
They're dropping down like flies and in their eyes
The images of war are in their eyes
They've seen it all before and know your lies
Won't keep their bellies full
In love and war there are no rules Children of the revolution getting off the boat
To face the ignorance and prejudice that keep this land afloat
Children of the revolution make a brand new start
Running through the rubble of a thousand broken hearts and in their eyes
All promises are broken in their eyes
The words that can't be spoken and your lies
Don't keep their bellies full
In love and war there are no rules
But in their eyes
Murder comes by sea and from the skies
It's shiny and it's quick to take their lives
And it's cruel in love and war there are no rules Children of the revolution coming out to play
Someone sells a gun and someone blows them all away
Children of the revolution sold out by the banks
Who swap the green upon the dollars for the green upon the tanks

in the midst of moving, about ten blocks north, close to work, the books, albums, cds, movies, etc. anything boxed are moved already, so the hard part is done...still several truckloads of furniture mostly shelves and doors...levels!...i think the mass of boxes in the bedroom has caused the floor to shift...maybe the earth....sorry.
"Yeah, I'm getting rid of all my furniture. All of it. And I'm going to build these different levels, with steps, and it'll all be carpeted with a lot of pillows. You know, like ancient Egypt." | | Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 | | 5:30 pm |
Playboy Interview: February 1963 Playboy: All right, let's start with the most basic question there is: Are you a religious man? Do you believe in God? Sinatra: Well, that'll do for openers. I think I can sum up my religious feelings in a couple of paragraphs. First: I believe in you and me. I'm like Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein in that I have a respect for life -- in any form. I believe in nature, in the birds, the sea, the sky, in everything I can see or that there is real evidence for. If these things are what you mean by God, then I believe in God. But I don't believe in a personal God to whom I look for comfort or for a natural on the next roll of the dice. I'm not unmindful of man's seeming need for faith; I'm for anything that gets you through the night, be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniel's. But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer or cash on the line. Well, I believe that God knows what each of us wants and needs. It's not necessary for us to make it to church on Sunday to reach Him. You can find Him anyplace. And if that sounds heretical, my source is pretty good: Matthew, Five to Seven, The Sermon on the Mount. Playboy: You haven't found any answers for yourself in organized religion? Sinatra: There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions. Remember, they were men of God who destroyed the educational treasures at Alexandria, who perpetrated the Inquisition in Spain, who burned the witches at Salem. Over 25,000 organized religions flourish on this planet, but the followers of each think all the others are miserably misguided and probably evil as well. In India they worship white cows, monkeys and a dip in the Ganges. The Moslems accept slavery and prepare for Allah, who promises wine and revirginated women. And witch doctors aren't just in Africa. If you look in the L.A. papers of a Sunday morning, you'll see the local variety advertising their wares like suits with two pairs of pants. Playboy: Hasn't religious faith just as often served as a civilizing influence? Sinatra: Remember that leering, cursing lynch mob in Little Rock reviling a meek, innocent little 12-year-old Negro girl as she tried to enroll in public school? Weren't they -- or most of them -- devout churchgoers? I detest the two-faced who pretend liberality but are practiced bigots in their own mean little spheres. I didn't tell my daughter whom to marry, but I'd have broken her back if she had had big eyes for a bigot. As I see it, man is a product of his conditioning, and the social forces which mold his morality and conduct -- including racial prejudice -- are influenced more by material things like food and economic necessities than by the fear and awe and bigotry generated by the high priests of commercialized superstition. Now don't get me wrong. I'm for decency -- period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday -- cash me out. Playboy: But aren't such spiritual hypocrites in a minority? Aren't most Americans fairly consistent in their conduct within the precepts of religious doctrine? Sinatra: I've got no quarrel with men of decency at any level. But I can't believe that decency stems only from religion. And I can't help wondering how many public figures make avowals of religious faith to maintain an aura of respectability. Our civilization, such as it is, was shaped by religion, and the men who aspire to public office anyplace in the free world must make obeisance to God or risk immediate opprobrium. Our press accurately reflects the religious nature of our society, but you'll notice that it also carries the articles and advertisements of astrology and hokey Elmer Gantry revivalists. We in America pride ourselves on freedom of the press, but every day I see, and so do you, this kind of dishonesty and distortion not only in this area but in reporting -- about guys like me, for instance, which is of minor importance except to me; but also in reporting world news. How can a free people make decisions without facts? If the press reports world news as they report about me, we're in trouble. Playboy: Are you saying that . . . Sinatra: No, wait, let me finish. Have you thought of the chance I'm taking by speaking out this way? Can you imagine the deluge of crank letters, curses, threats and obscenities I'll receive after these remarks gain general circulation? Worse, the boycott of my records, my films, maybe a picket line at my opening at the Sands. Why? Because I've dared to say that love and decency are not necessarily concomitants of religious fervor. Playboy: If you think you're stepping over the line, offending your public or perhaps risking economic suicide, shall we cut this off now, erase the tape and start over along more antiseptic lines? Sinatra: No, let's let it run. I've thought this way for years, ached to say these things. Whom have I harmed by what I've said? What moral defection have I suggested? No, I don't want to chicken out now. Come on, pal, the clock's running | | Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 | | 4:41 pm |

The torch was barely a block into its journey when the athlete who was holding it came upon scuffling protesters and climbed aboard a bus to wait out the melee.
So much chaos ensued that Chinese officials accompanying the torch snuffed out its flame numerous times and torchbearers were bundled onto buses midway through the 18-mile route.
The left-leaning mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, draped the ornate City Hall with a banner reading, "Paris Defends Human Rights Around the World."
Meanwhile, pro-Tibetan banners were displayed all over the City of Light, and protesters managed to dangle Tibetan flags and banners with the interlocking Olympic rings depicted as handcuffs from iconic Paris facades including Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, despite police efforts to stop them. | | Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | | 9:43 pm |

Archdiocese targets scalping for pope's Mass
Mar 14, 2008 4:39 AM (1 day ago) AP WASHINGTON (Map, News) - The Archdiocese of Washington is taking steps to prevent the scalping of tickets for next month's papal Mass. Archbishop Donald Wuerl says every ticket has a bar code for a particular seat. So if the archdiocese sees or hears of a ticket being scalped on Web sites such as eBay or Craigslist, the ticket can be canceled. The archdiocese is distributing about 46,000 tickets for the April 17 Mass at the Washington Nationals' new ballpark. Those unable to get tickets for the Mass might be able to see the pope as he travels through the city, although his routes are still being determined. Information from: The Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.com we won't even attempt...during pope visit to phx some years back brokers ended up with certain authorities who maintain securities for visiting heads of state in their offices....not comfortable, no
