Ministry - The Fall
Take this invitation
Bishops Queen to Pawn
All of us were taken
All that was is gone
Of this information
Shames us one and all
Where's my compensation?
Watching others fall
Welcome to the fall
Everything is useless
Nothing works at all
Nothing ever matters
Welcome to the fall
Welcome to the fall
Welcome to the fall
Welcome to the fall

Two Songs Same Emotions
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows - Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen
This feeling haunts me behind these eyes
The shell seems so empty does anything live inside?
I want to live I wish I was dead
I don't even want to think I'm stuck here
And I know it I don't want to see
Make me close my eyes
I want to live I wish I was dead
I look in your eyes and see it's always this way
Live the lie and take a dive just to make it die
I've just got to close my eyes
I've got to close my eyes
I've got to close my eyes - What I See by Black Flag
And now I sleep on ladders so afraid I'll fall....

What George Doesn't Know #6,258-Tao
When the Master governs, the people
are hardly aware that he exists.
Next best is a leader who is loved.
Next, one who is feared.
The worst is one who is despised.
If you don't trust the people,
you make them untrustworthy.
The Master doesn't talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say, "Amazing:
we did it, all by ourselves!" - Chapter 17 (Interpreted) Tao Te Ching

Quoting King
"You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair-the sense that you can never completely put on page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say again: you must not come lightly to the blank page." - Stephen King from On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
Physics Geeks Gone Wild
In a scene straight out of Professor Terguson's class, an University of Louisiana physics professor went postal on his class.
""Then he told us if we got out of our seats he's gonna kill us. He went on the black board and wrote "911 now", so we were really in fear for our lives," Spears told KATC-TV.
Spears said Houston slapped a student and then told his class he was God." - Yahoo
What I would do to have video of that incident. Sadly though, the professor's rampage is only the second funniest news this week. Skookum Talk found this one earlier this week...
"Crystal Police Capt. Dave Oyaas said the bizarre string of events began when officers were called to a veterans hall Monday morning to find a man dressed as Elvis Presley apparently in convulsions.
When the officers approached, Oyaas said the man suddenly jumped up and yelled, ``Viva Las Vegas!'' before singing show tunes." - Skookum Talk
The incident deteriorated even further when a man dressed as one of the Blues Brothers stole the officers car and went for joyride turned high-speed chase.
And people think Oregonians are nuts.

Christopher Reeve Dead?
According to Drudge.
"Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science." - Drudge Report
That sucks.

What the Hell Do I Call This Thing?
West Memphis Three Update
From the Arkansas Times:
"A woman who provided crucial testimony in the West Memphis 3 case now says her testimony was a complete fabrication.
Victoria (Vicki) Hutcheson says she was told what to say by West Memphis Police Department detectives, and that if she did not testify as instructed they could take her child away from her and implicate her in the slayings.
...
Mara Leveritt, a Times contributor and author of a book, "Devil's Knot," about the case, puts Hutcheson's significance this way: Hutcheson's interviews with police gave them a theory to build a case around. With that theory, and a confession from the 17-year-old Misskelley, whose IQ was subnormal, police had what they needed to arrest Damien Echols, 18, and Jason Baldwin, 16."
If you haven't heard of the West Memphis Three I encourage you to a) Watch the documentaries Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2: Revelations b) Read Devil's Knot c) visit the Free The West Memphis Three website d) all of the above. Three teenage boys (now men) were sentenced to prison (Misskelley & Baldwin to life, Echols to death) without any physical evidence used against them. Instead the prosecution built their case around the teens taste in clothing, the music they listened to and the testimony of people like Victoria Hutcheson. Like the popular bumpersticker says, "If you're not outraged, your not paying attention."
As of 06.02.04 DNA testing has finally been ordered by the court. It is the belief of many people, including myself, that the results of this testing will provide an a chance for justice in a case that as of yet has had no such opportunity. Three eight year old boys are dead. Three young men are in prison. Meanwhile the real killer(s) remain free.
"Could this have happened anywhere else? Yes. Look at Salem, the Third Reich, and McCarthyism. When fear and cynical leaders prevail, ordinary people do terrible things." - From my interview with Mara Leveritt, author of Devil's Knot.

Do Not Use Knife
The $84.00 Lie/FactCheck.org To The Rescue
President Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business owner" under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise. However, 99.99% of Bush's total income came from other sources that year. (Bush also qualified as a "small business owner" in 2000 based on $314 of "business income," but not in 2002 and 2003 when he reported his timber income as "royalties" on a different tax schedule.) - FactCheck.org
Subchapter S Smokescreen (Molliwogg)
According to W the rollback of tax cuts for Americans making over $200,000 a year would have a negative impact on job creation because of the huge number of Subchapter S small business, 900,000 was the figure Bush gave. Hmmm.
"The main advantage associated with the "S" Corporation is that the income passes through to the shareholders, thus avoiding the double taxation of a "C" Corporation. Subchapter S corporations are most appropriate for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to be taxed as if they were sole proprietors or partners – again, this is a pass through tax structure, meaning you file profits and losses on your personal tax returns." legal-database.com
If a sole proprietor, partner, or S Corporation shareholder is making that much cash off his business then I say let 'em be taxed more.
Don't forgot the part about losses passing through too. Small businesses get to write off expenses like investment in equipment, leasing space, and the costs of paying employees. It is even possible to realize a substantial write off against other sources of personal income if the S Corporation is losing money.
The way I see it, the only time rolling back the tax cuts would affect the small business negatively is if the profit for any one of a possible 75 shareholders were to exceed $200,000 or their distribution combined with other sources of income were to exceed $200,000. So if the business is re-investing in itself, and thereby creating jobs, rather than distributing the profits to shareholders it would not create an undue tax burden on small businesses. If I am a mere simpleton who is missing something big in this equation, can someone please explain it to me?
Bush, Cheney, and friends think we are all simpletons and are trying to scare us into protecting tax cuts for the rich with smoke and mirrors. The wealthy can afford accountants and tax attorneys the rest of us can't to play hide and go seek with their money and avoid paying their fair share of taxes to begin with. Why should we protect further tax cuts in their favor?

Darth Vader Mugs Pizza Dude
"That's according to Kissimmee, Fla., authorities, who reported over the weekend that a pizza deliveryman was nearly robbed by an imposing figure dressed as the "Star Wars" bad guy.
...
The pizza man hit the gas and sped off, but not before getting a good zap from what may have been a laser blaster, a light saber or perhaps just a stun gun." - Faux News
Like son, like father I guess. Remember when Luke Skywalker attacked a guy in England earlier this year? Jedi's, they just don't make them like they used to.
Then there's these geeks...err, guys.

Tentacle Turmoil
"Although the tree octopus is not officially listed on the Endangered Species List, we feel that it should be added since its numbers are at a critically low level for its breeding needs. The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch." - Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
Please friends, give until it hurts...then give some more.

"I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged," Scalia said. - The Harvard Crimson
