Henry Rollins Last Night
Category: event
Well first of all I ran into someone who I haven't seen in a long time at last nights show, it was nice to see and talk to you again. In terms of the show it is hard to describe what was talked about it is kinda something you have to see. I think most of what he said was new but did connect with some stuff he talked about last year. I liked his take on W. not only person but the movie also and he also talked about his dad and Clinton. I liked that he talked politics and said people should vote but said he wouldn't say who to vote for or who he voted for. But it wasn't all political some of it was like about all the stuff you have to watch before a movie and he talked about how Kid Rock has a song trying to get people to join the military. Some of his traveling stories where pretty interesting. I will admit I liked last years show better then this years but it was still a pretty good time this year. I think this cold is messing with my memory because there was at least another thing he talked about that I wanted to get into but can't remember. Hopefully this doesn't interfear with me at the party on Firday night, I plan to take the peterazzi to a whole new level once I get the settings down on the camera for (e:pmt)'s place.. Sorry I can't tell the story better I did such a good job telling it last year.

November is Spy Month I say
Category: entertainment
The reason I'm calling November spy month is for two reasons, well I guess it is really one reason. Before 24 returns in January they are having a two hour special called 24 Redemption it looks like it will be pretty good on Sunday Nov. 23. Then also this month the new James Bond movie opens. Yeah some people might say Bond who cares any more. I will admit that I liked the old style with all the rockets and stunts that where over the top even for movies. I also liked the more recent bonds of Pierce better then this new Bond. That being said I do like that they have gone in this other direction, and not that I have read the books. But from what I have heard these movies are closer to the books then how the previous movies have been. I think what will make this newest movie interesting is that it is the first Bond Sequel and so that might be interesting to see how that plays out. I don't know if Daniel Craig will be in what ever the next movie they do after the current one. The reason I say that is because I was watching one of the features on Casino Royale and they said that they didn't use Pierce because with this being the story of how bond becomes bond they needed someone younger. See I haven't even seen the newest one and I'm jumping a head. I'm hoping it will be very good, we shall see.

Henry Rollins Spoken word
Category: events
So I'm looking forward to Wends. I'm going to see Henry Rollins. He won't be singing or dancing or well maybe he will be you never know, but it is for spoken word not music. I'm thinking maybe head downtown from work and treat myself to some drinks and a nice meal at say T.G.I fridays but I have to double check the time. I don't know how to say what spoken word is other then that he tells stories, at some point of the story it leads into another story. Hey sometimes someone mentions something and then to know what that is you need another story. Some of it is funny and some of it is political and yes he does have merch. for sale so you can buy other spoken word tours. I'm hoping it really good this year like it was last year. I have never seen him do a question and answer thing it isn't like an Evening with Kevin smith but some aspects are the same. Yes you can disagree with his political views and still have a good time at the town ballroom.

Assassination plot broken
Category: news
So I went onto Yahoo to read my mail and I saw this article that I had to read and re post below. From what I understand these two skinheads where going to try and Kill Barack even though they thought they might not get away with it and they might even die doing so. That is really some heavy hate. They never got to the attack stage so we don't know if it is really true, and maybe they are taking the fall for a larger movement who knows what is really going on. If you read the article maybe you'll have the same question I did why not go after Barrack 1st, what if you first attacks don't work. I don't think they would have ever gotten close to Obama. That being said it still seems like this isn't the entire story. Yeah this is a lot of hate, I know I have some sterotypes that I fight with sometimes but I'm glad I'm no where near as bad as these guys are. I hate to say it but I don't think this will be the last attempt either.



Assassination plot targeting Obama disrupted




By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer Lara Jakes Jordan, Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON - Law enforcement agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of ATF's Nashville field office, said the two men planned to kill 88 people, including 14 African-Americans by beheading. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree after the Tennessee murders, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

"They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

The two men were arrested Oct. 22 by the Crockett County, Tenn., Sheriff's Office. "Once we arrested the defendants and suspected they had violated federal law, we immediately contacted federal authorities," said Crockett County Sheriff Troy Klyce.

Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday. Messages left on two phone numbers listed under Cowart's name were not immediately returned.

No telephone number for Schlesselman in Helena-West Helena could be found immediately.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

The court records say Cowart and Schlesselman also bought nylon rope and ski masks to use in a robbery or home invasion to fund their spree, during which they allegedly planned to go from state to state and kill people.

For the Obama plot, the legal documents show, Cowart and Schlesselman "planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows."

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

Cavanaugh said there's no evidence - so far - that others were willing to assist Cowart and Schlesselman with the plot.

He said authorities took the threats very seriously.

"They seemed determined to do it," Cavanaugh said. "Even if they were just to try it, it would be a trail of tears around the South."

The court documents say the two men met about a month ago on the Internet and found common ground in their shared "white power" and "skinhead" philosophy.

The numbers 14 and 88 are symbols in skinhead culture, referring to a 14-word phrase attributed to an imprisoned white supremacist: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" and to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. Two "8"s or "H"s stand for "Heil Hitler."

Helena-West Helena, on the Mississippi River in east Arkansas' Delta, is in one of the nation's poorest regions, trailing even parts of Appalachia in its standard of living. Police Chief Fred Fielder said he had never heard of Schlesselman.

However, the reported threat of attacking a school filled with black students worried Fielder. Helena-West Helena, with a population of 12,200, is 66 percent black. "Predominantly black school, take your pick," he said.
