Welcome to Martina Nav's 27th OlympiATI... ------------------------------------------------- FLASH - Poet Yehuda Amichai dies. Someone please educate me further as to his profundity. To quote Lynyrd Skynyrd, I only "know a little." ------------------------------------------------- You ever eaten Monkey arm? Me either. But I'm told it's quite delisch. "Once you've made your weapons, of course, you have to go and do some hunting. It takes three or four darts to kill a monkey, and even a good hunter will hit with only, say, one shot in five. Once you wound a monkey, and send it fleeing for its life along the canopy, you have to somehow keep your eyes on it while hauling your nine-foot, five-pound blowgun through more or less impenetrable forest. When, finally, you do kill the monkey, more likely than not you'll have to climb into the canopy to retrieve it." -- Joe Kane, author of "Savages" 1995 Knopf <><><><><><><><><><><><> <> <> <> AA TTTTTT IIIIII <> <> A A TT II <> <> AAAA TT II <> <> A A TT II <> <> A A TT IIIIII <> <> <> <><><><><2><4><3><><><><> 0009231806 this issue NOT dedicated to Tio Sam. Hi there, I'm prime anarchist and you're not. Yeah, like that bugs you, right? Well this is my columnar content for this weekend. If you don't like it, write your own and paste it over this one. "Nader also shared the stage with former TV talk show host Phil Donahue, campaign finance activist Granny D and video satirist Michael Moore." This is from news reports of Nader at Target stadium last nite in Minneapolis. Most of it'll be stuff you already know if you watched a couple minutes of C-Span in the past 24 hours, but the Granny D part was new to me, so I'm assuming it may be new to the rest of us too. Who doesn't remember Granny D? That nice old lady with cookies bigger than Maggy Thatchroofer even. And definitely more intestinal fortitude than Raygun, Bushwack and BoyBlunder Clinton combined. "Dynablob," a JWH album about Bob Dylan. Hmmm. Peculiar... MUENSTER-CHEESE CARD: There Are Some Things Just Too Phunny To Make Phun Of. Nah... For Everything Else There's Activist Times, Internet. PRIVELEGE TO shake Cheney's hand publicly. ============= $5000 TICKET TO attend a Nader/LaDuke rally indoors. ============= $5 SEEING CLINTON on his way out paraphrasing things Nader's been saying for 30 years (like "fuel-saving vehicles and energy efficient buildings and [funding] clean energy technology) ============= PRICELESS. "You find something that you love and then you twist it and torture it - try to find a way to make money at it - spend a lifetime doing that - and at the end you can't find a trace of what you started out lovin'" --Harry Connick Jr as Justin Matisse talking about the American Dream in "Hope Floats." Aargh - An Opinion - Who's buying my RC now??? British company Cadbury Schweppes is buying RC Cola. Who are the people TriArc bought it from before that? I guess the first thought crossing my mind was "I'm just glad it's neither Poke-acola or Cepsi, right? Well, every other time RC Cola gets bought or sold, they end up under someone who's under someone who's under someone who's under coke or pepsi. This time holds promise. For now. I'm prime anarchist and I typed that. /?/------------------------/?/ LIKE TO DANCE?: Do The Numba. http://halturner.orn.com/BushsaysThanks.htm http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/guitar/Lynyrd/free.txt http://www.folkloretheatre.com http://cosmos.lod.com/~ati/ati216.html http://www.christinaaguilar.com/eng/main_e.htm http://www.siriuscommunity.org http://www.adcritic.com/content/nike-why-sport-chainsaw-olympics-nbc.html http://www.metafilter.com http://www.hanksville.org/NAresources/indices/NAactivist.html http://www.twistedinternet.com/library/Underground%20Magazines http://www.vulgarian.com/ipa/20th/references.html http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~trent/ochs/lyrics/where-were-you-in-chicago.html http://www.luckyboys.com/main.htm http://Nogore.com http://216.167.120.50 http://www.angrycoffee.com http://www.beavoter.org http://marcocapelli.iuma.com http://FuckedCompany.com http://home.crosswinds.net http://www.mythologic.net/priceless http://www.soaw.org Due To Reasons Beyond Our Petrol: THIS ISSUE SHALL REMAIN LETTUCELESS JOKE OF THE MONTH CLUB: The First One's Phree; After That They're $7.98 each plus $5 shipping and $4 handling and a $10 ripper fee, oh, and did we forget you need to include a SASE and your credit card number and expiration date???

JUST SO'S U KNOW: A Press Release That Missed Deadline. The National Association of Broadcasters is the political arm of the broadcasting industry. It spends millions every year lobbying to keep the airwaves out of the hands of the public. PROTEST DURING THE NAB CONVENTION September 20th - 23rd, 2000 - San Francisco Act Up, Party Down, Raise Hell, Shout Out! Bring your microradio transmitters, your video cameras, your webcasts, your dancing shoes, and your militant nonviolent attitude! (PAWN) - McGraw and Hill Merge and Make Books. NASHVILLE, Ten - Tom McGraw Corporation announced a friendless buyout of Faithful Hall Enterprises, LLC. The two entertainment industries will now be in charge of almost all the publishing of "absolutely everything paper" in the US, Germany, the Balkans and Indonesia. Since McGraw owned Downelly, Random Apartment, and Hoe before the merger and Hall owned Harcourt Brace, Dell and Gutenberg, the new "family" will forever be called Hall-Downelly-Dell-McGraw-Brace-Random-Apartment-Harcourt- Jovanovich-Gutenberg - or Haddem Bra Jogger for short. "Holy hyphonated kids," said Hall. McGraw looked at it a little differently. Since both CEO's are also singers who call themselves artists, now when four middle-aged white men write and propose songs to McGraw or Hall they're basically talking publishing as well as singing, instrumentation, lunchboxes, t-shirts, beercanopeners, and using the digital equipment that makes a flat B-flat into a crisp tonal A-Sharp. not to mention making the word "me" sound more like the pleasingly popular "maaaaay." "Basically," said McGraw trying desperately to shed his Indian Outlaw nickname, "You can now hand me a piece of sheet music, and not only can I fake it a capella on the spot, but then I can honestly say, 'would you like grayscale or tri-color with that?'" -30- LULLABIES OF THE ITCH AND SHAMELESS Do you remember those singles in the 70's that included Dickie Goodman's "Energy Crisis '74?" I don't remember all the titles but there were a bunch of 'em. The Crisis one had Dickie Goodman pretending to be a journalist asking Nixon questions, and instead of Nixon's voice as a response you heard "Leave Me Alone," or "Why Can't We Be Friends," stuff like that. Well, honest to that form - we now here "ask" each of the 4 (count 'em four) prez candidates to name their fave childhood lullaby. Now, since Alvin Bore already admitted that his mom invented the lullaby, we'll leave him out of this one. Look for that union label somewhere else. OK. Ralphie Nader, sing us a beddybye song. "I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair." How about you, Mr. George Daddy WarBush. "Like a Rhinestoned cowboy, gettin' away w' murder, and a cokespoon up in my nose." And Puke Buchanderdanden? Pat said, "Brit Hume, baby one more time." Wait! Another candidate? Could it be? Stepping up to the plate is none other than Saddam Hussein, the comeback kid. Overcoming smartbombs, dumb newscasts, lymph cancer, and counter-counter-counter-counter-intelligence, he's stepping up for a swing at presidential politics. Wow. You've got balls the size of Spaulding (tm)(sic.) sweatshops! OK. Hit it. But how'd you get 1,000 signatures in Utah??? "Old Mother Reagan, and her crew. She took away from, me and you, I seen her go..." A couple songs 4 U in the "broadside" tradition. E A Georgia, Georgia, E B7 You're always on my mind. E B7 E You're always, always on my mind. E Bm7 You're the hub of apartheid And you're always Dbm E And you're always on my mind. A From George the 3rd, E To the Bush and the Shrub A To the School of Assassins E And that name change overdub A Bm7 It's the same old song keeps E B7 E Georgia on my mind.

Dead and gone, but wrote a lot... --------------- =CO|DA= (this came in just in time for "stop the presses..." I remember when Carmelle, of the British Coalition for E Timor, first introduced me to the problems of the E Timorese nation. And how after, try as we "may", we could not get Brian May, guitarist of Queen to step out of his shell of industrial privilege, wherein he also gloried in local "charitable" success. Years after his band of neocapitalists had, under S African apartheid, taken 5million Queen pounds out of Sun City within a week. To add his megastar weight to a concert in the UK for E Timor. One imagines that, apart from a number of hostile Indonesians and a few generals in Rangoon. It was wonderful for the whole world to see marathon runner Aquida Amaral, even while, due to Olympian red tape that has little to do with the harsh realities of international sports and politics. And while not fully representing her bravest of nations. Pause, and on one Buddhist knee, so often the pose of Christian athletes from so many richer and more capitalist lands. Send a profound message to a mostly unconscious world. Her own grateful thanks for her nations long awaited Australian backed "UN freedom". As one certainly wishes that the UN, for reasons of its own anti racist and anti heroin credibilities, had gone "head to head" with the IOC to oust racist Burma from the games. But once the Games commenced and the Rangoon junta was allowed to compete with a provenly apartheid squad.. One also hopes that not only Jose Ramos-Horta and Xanana are at the party. For of all long distance runners, and after the many tribulations of S Africa and its so called sporting life, the continued bravery of the oppressed people of E Timor must come, historically, next in line.
