Bad Joke
A jokes a joke, and I'm all for giving it to the corps. but this one seems to have caused more harm to first the victims themselves and second to the reputation of a news organization that does seem to give at least a slightly impartial slant to its news. So go on, and have your fun Yes Men but try to keep your real targets in sight.

phone phun with strangers
Aber Erfolg!
Well not in finding a place but in setting up a battery of apartment showings, and yes (e:Ajay), thanks to the kind ad placed in Artvoice by Bing (who wouldn't want a landlord named Bing?), we will be upstairs from you at 2:30 on Saturday.
We will also be viewing 6 other places on Saturday, and 5 more on Friday! Fun Fun Fun! And if after 14 apts. if we can't find one we like then I guess there's always that cozy little niche under the bridge in Delaware park (just me and my echoes...).

laid off and laid back
Gotta pick up my crocheting. And when it snows I'll start skiing. Cooking has already started coming back to the foreground (yay for hungry-tummies).
What am I doing tonight? The BIGGEST PARTY NIGHT OF THE YEAR!!! Will probably be out and about somewhere. Maybe I'll see some of yall. Have fun, and remember you have to be out of bed by noon to go and get stuffed.

Dancing backwards
Alas, it seemed to work backwards. I came back and noticed I had gained about 50 pounds. Not sure how it happened. Maybe the strange thing that was slipped into my drink had something to do with it... maybe not eating at McKeyD's...maybe not doing those handstand push-ups...who knows. So if you see me rolling through town, take it as a word of caution against extreme exercize. And get yo fat ass some double arch surprises.

Not hampered at all
by empty ice cream
left upon the chair
melting as are we
coops still a coop
made from lively fowl
chicken little runs
and republicans beware
three toilets to choose from
beeboppin on the roof
mary ari jarel
maarijarel
buddha does as buddha is
lies atop his bosom buddy
sleepy stroking
halfelt tickles
remember the jazz
forget your friends
remeber the friends
forget the jazz
someone is watching over
maybe with a microphone
watchout don't eat those brains
stewarts here, look what i can do

Cen u spel? Livejournal, what!!!
I told (e:paul) maybe it's time to market this baby. I decided to look around for other comparable services to see what was to offer. Hotmail didn't even offer spellcheck (unless it's something you have to pay for). Livejournal has one, but it sucks muchissimo. Take a look:
Crappy, eh? They highlight the misspelled in red and then give you a list containing the words and suggestions. No handy little interface. No clickable suggestions. You actually have to type your own words in, how uncivilized... So if anyone else has praise feel free to share. And, of course, (e:paul) is always available to hear concerns/bugs/suggestions from any of you lovely peeps or peeps-to-be.
sidenote: I just wrote a rant about an hour ago, so take a looksee...
this
way

Here's a voice from the left
So back to the top with this, we have most of our easily-accessible media controlled by groups of individuals who are mostly concerned with lining their own fat wallets. They are ostensibly policed by the FCC, whose mandate it is to monitor the respective airwaves for any breaches of broadcasting. They are the arbiters of media justice. Normally they sit back and make sure nothing "offensive" is aired (read: Janet's boobie) at least that's what they'd have you believe . In actuality they are in control of a lot of what you and me can see/hear. The appointed (not elected) group just recently raised the amount of media that can be owned by one interest in any given region. Which allows more local/independent outlets to be outbought, though one might ask when our airwaves became commodities (much like our land and resources which are sold to the highest bidder, or the only bidder in most cases), but I digress...as usual.
(e:Jason), (e:Paul) just gave a link to a new local station [inlink]paul,2405[/inlink] which offers many progressive programs, like Democracy Now! which is the Left's answer to the News Hour, if you haven't listened I highly recommend.
You say that you'd like to hear the two sides slamming it out through media, which is surely highly amusing, yet I fear perhaps distracting. We need media that actually gives credit to the profession: observers of the world who report back what they see without slant (or minimized through the harshest of standards). The news should give us information, and then if we want to listen/watch the others bash it out we can. Today everyone is on a side, and few will tell you what's really happening, both on the right and left. And it's simply unfair/unreal to make everyone become a student of media scientists simply to decipher the reality of the world around them.
...I wanted to write about a neat book I just finished (from the soon-extinct library)...but soon
