Nader accuses Bush, Cheney of ''High Crimes and Misdemeanors"
Calls for impeachment debate.
Too bad Nader had to go and blow all his credibility during the 2004 election.
Too bad Nader had to go and blow all his credibility during the 2004 election.
Mission Accomplished.
Eventually. Probably by 2009 or so. But we'll still have some troops there after that, of course.
Worth noting: More soldiers died in the past year than in the year before. At this rate, by next Memorial Day, more soldiers will have died in Iraq than in the 9/11 bombings.
And Bush still isn't thinking too much about Osama.

Crazy Horse to be honored

"Tentacles beckon visitors"
That's the front-page headline in the paper in Salinas, Calif. The news: a new "hands on" exhibit at Monterey Bay Aquarium featuring the kraken.
Key quote: "We found that the giant Pacific octopus was one of a visitor's very favorite animals, so we created this experience as if you were in an octopus' den."
Fools! Didn't they see "Jaws 3-D" and what happened at Sea World?

Brutal Details of 2 Afghan Inmates' Deaths
This is what our government is doing in our names. How many times does this shit have to be reported before it rises above the level of "isolated incidents" to "U.S. foreign policy?"
I hope future generations look back on this time of our history in horror.

Desperate Revenge of the Sith Housewives
“Revenge of the Sith” and “Desperate Housewives” were at the top of hype heap this week. The Empire and Wisteria Lane have more in common than you might think: Both melodramas hinge on fractured families, assorted betrayals, unintended pregnancies and quick deaths.
Which finale fared better? Overall, which saga satisfies? In a key entertainment tilt replete with spoilers, we break it down for you, Dullard-style:
SURPRISE FACTOR: We knew the Sith story walking in; even George Lucas has referred to it as “Titanic in Space.” Yes, Darth Vader turned to the Dark Side, and not for entirely convincing reasons. We knew flipping on the TV that at least one Housewife character would die, but which one? That was more of a shocker, and we aren’t even sure that character really died since we didn’t see it with our own eyes. Advantage: Housewives.
SEXY FACTOR: Natalie Portman vs. Eva Longoria. ‘Nuff said. Advantage: Housewives.
DIALOG: “Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo” or “Rex cries after he ejaculates.” Advantage: Housewives.
MUSIC: John Williams is obviously beyond his glory years, but Danny Elfman’s “Housewives” theme is self-derivative. Advantage: Push.
SPECIAL EFFECTS: Much has been made of the technological achievements at Lucasfilm, and Sith has its share of eye-popping moments. Still, it leaves us a little cold. Meanwhile, the Housewives crew is working overtime to put the best faces possible on well-worn Teri Hatcher and Nicolette Sheridan. Advantage: Housewives.
FINAL BATTLE: Obi-Wan vs. Darth in the lava fields was pretty cool, carried off with style thanks to the hard-working Ewan McGregor. Delfino vs. Young at the quarry was more talk and not enough action. Advantage: Sith.
RESOLUTION: Lucas worked it all together, in a somewhat haphazard way, and finally pulled the threads pointing to Episode IV. This trilogy is definitely over. Give the Housewives credit, too. The show solved a lot more of the mystery than “The X-Files” or similar shows did, but still foisted a cliffhanger on us. Hey, there’s gotta be another season. Advantage: Sith.
DENOUEMENT: Both ended in trademark fashion: Sith in a swell of strings and no dialog; Housewives with a voiceover from the grave. Each plays to its strengths, but Sith's final scenes leave questions: If the Death Star is already well under construction when Luke is a baby, why is it just getting operational when he's a young adult, as seen in Episode IV? Isn't Tatooine the most obvious place to hide the child? His name is still Skywalker, yet he goes unnoticed for 20 years? Just how stupid is this Empire anyway? Advantage: Housewives.
FINAL ANALYSIS
“Desperate Housewives” — rocked
“Revenge of the Sith” — so-so

"Robert Plant and Rockpile Stole This Song from Elvis..."
"Tonight, we're stealing it back!"
We're kicking off tonight's set with "Little Sister," and I thought about using that as an intro.... but I don't think anyone would get it.
I think I will use the idea of theft to tie all the songs together tonight, by letting people see behind the curtain a little bit at what I've cribbed from better writers in cobbling together my little aires d'loon. For example, Raspberry Strawberry is cobbled together from old jump-rope songs, so I really edited the lyric more than wrote it -- an idea somewhat inspired by Tom Waits's recurring use of nursery-rhyme figures in his tunes. I think using these sorts of childhood rhymes is amazingly effective because it taps into a pre-critical area of the brain that's pre-programmed to relate to them.
Also, I stole the idea for the use of the "untrustworthy narrator" from Randy Newman, who uses this literary device a lot-- in fact, now that I think about it, I was more influenced by Randy Newman talking about using this device than his own actual records, which I don't listen to much. I was probably more directly influenced by Jim Thompson, who uses untrustworthy narrators in books like "Pop. 1280" and "A Swell-Looking Babe." I tried to use such a narrator for Someday Baby, to limited success; I found it a struggle to get across in the confines of a 4-minute pop song the idea that you couldn't take the narrator's words at face value because she's not just lying to you-- she's lying to herself about her man coming back to her, and using that as an excuse to have just one more gin... and another, and another.
Lastly, when I introduce Mrs. Jones, I'll take the opportunity to illustrate how it is an homage (which is a fancy-pants French way of saying "theft") to both Dylan's Ballad of a Thin Man (probably rock's most alluded-to song), and the Kinks' Well-Respected Man, which my song quotes musically. My idea was to write a song about what Mrs. Jones gets up to while Mr. Jones is at his 9-to-5. It is partially inspired by true events that I suspect happen in the summer when Jody is not teaching, and takes the opportunity to instruct our cat Lucy in the finer points of mixology.
Igor Stravinsky is quoted as saying "A good composer does not imitate, he steals." He's obviously being a little falsely modest here, as the amount of pure invention in his works is staggering. But as you can see, I've taken to heart the idea that the first step in the creative process is thievery.
Oddly enough, I've seen a similar quote attributed to Pablo Picasso as well, so clearly at least one of them is a dirty thief.

Bill Moyers: "A democracy can die of too many lies"
Some choice quotes:
"The quality of democracy and the quality of journalism are deeply entwined."
"We're seeing unfold a contemporary example of the age-old ambition of power and ideology to squelch and punish journalists who tell the stories that make princes and priests uncomfortable."
"News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity."
"An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only on partisan information and opinions that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda, is less inclined to put up a fight, to ask questions and be skeptical."
"The flag belongs to the country, not to the government. And it reminds me that it's not un-American to think that war -- except in self-defense -- is a failure of moral imagination, political nerve, and diplomacy. Come to think of it, standing up to your government can mean standing up for your country."
Just go read it. It's worth sitting through an Audi ad.

"Sith" and the critics
The last "Star Wars" movie is winning the critical battle overall, according to the Rotten Tomatoes site.
A.O. Scott at the NYT hails it despite reservations over the stiff dialogue, but Kenneth Turan in L.A. cautions that the movie is "dramatically leaden and earthbound."
By the way, does anyone else find it a bit creepy that Lucasfilm sends people dressed up as stormtroopers to the premieres?

Bela Lugosi ain't dead yet
Seminal goth-rockers Bauhaus are back, creating a buzz at SoCal's recent Coachella music festival. Singer Peter Murphy opened the band's set by hanging upside down, bat-style, in a rendition of "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
Other acts of note included Nine Inch Nails, Arcade Fire and New Order. The Cocteau Twins reunion failed to materialize, however.
Personal trivia: My first date included seeing "The Hunger," with the opening scene of Bauhaus doing "Bela." I shoulda known that was gonna be a weird relationship -- beware the vampire girl!

Religious Groups Oppose Cancer Vaccine
Why? Because they are pathologically obsessed with sex and the subjugation of women. A vaccine for the human papilloma virus (HPV, which causes cervical cancer) is about to be released, and these bastards are opposing it because HPV is sexually transmitted, and they don't want to encourage premarital sex.
Yes, these "Christians" would rather have thousands of women die of cancer just so they can influence, however minutely, the number of women who might have sex for, oh, I don't know, pleasure (never mind the women that might contract HPV through non-consensual sex as well).
Bah. I'm so angry, I've lost the ability to edit run-on sentences....

Pink Floyd drummer kisses and tells
Nick Mason's book on the band, "Inside Out," drops Stateside this week. Mason has already been making the rounds to plug it, even dining with old bandmate Roger Waters after a Barnes & Noble appearance in NYC.
"Inside Out" is apparently more scrapbook than tell-all, but it does provide some insight into the band's ups and downs.
Amazing Nick Mason trivia that may or may not be addressed in the book:
-- He is the only Floyd member to be in every incarnation of the band, from the Syd days though the glory years of the 1970s and into the post-Roger arena era. He says the band is still not officially over yet. (But to many of us, it has been for a good while.)
-- He did not play on the track "Mother" from "The Wall." Jeff Porcaro of Toto fame was brought in when Mason couldn't get it right.
Waters, meanwhile, is threatening to unleash "Ca Ira," a symphonic piece inspired by the French Revolution.

Sci-fi scribes diss "Star Wars" saga
The great and the near-great tell the NYT that they're glad it will all be over soon.
Anyone who is a practitioner of science fiction is constantly dogged by the ghettoization of the genre. And a lot of that comes from the very simplistic, 2-D Lucasesque view of what science fiction has to offer.
