Dear Republican, They just can't obstruct enough! First it's the economic stimulus package, now it's judicial nominees. President Bush has nominated Judge Charles Pickering to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. President Bush has worked hard to find qualified candidates like Judge Pickering who will enforce the laws on the books and NOT legislate from the bench. But the Democrat Senators would rather play politics than act responsibly. And Judge Pickering has been targeted and attacked not just professionally, but also personally. These attacks have little to do with the facts of Pickering's record as a public servant. The real target is President Bush and these left-wing extremists will stop at nothing to score political points against the President. You can make a difference in this battle! Please contact the Senators listed below. And tell them to stop these infantile games and support the nomination of Judge Charles Pickering. Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) 202-224-5042 Senator Herbert Kohl (D-WI) 202-224-5653 Senator John Edwards (D-NC) 202-224-3154 Senator Max Cleland (D-GA) 202-224-3521 Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) 202-224-5824 Senator Blanch Lincoln (D-AR) 202-224-4843 [well, whatever.

PUBLISHERS COLUMN! [sort of...] Here at the offices of Koppel, Koppel, Koppel, Koppel & Koppel news is our business. You'd think we're a bunch of attorneys at law. Well, that's almost true. Some of us got law degrees, but not so much to practice, but so we'd have all the power and access we need to ply the journalism trade in a better way. Power and access. Two things of utmost import no matter what field you want to go into. Wish to be the best journalist in the world? (pronounced millions of dollars a year??) Get a law degree, and have a big family. Wish to win a political seat anywhere in the Untied States? Get a law degree and have a big family. Hell, you got yourself all the skills, knowledge and everything else it takes to be the best plumber in your town, but guess what? ALL THE CERTIFICATES ARE TAKEN. No Problema, mon! Get a law degree and have a big family. Just call us Attorneys at Journalism. Here at the offices of Koppel, Koppel, Koppel, Koppel & Koppel we're (Ted, Andrea, Grace, Deirdre, Andrew, and Tara) in YOUR CORNER. ==================== Request for Research ==================== The most important "no" that Manuel Noriega told the US Gov't was that School of Americas could not remain in Panama unless it got rid of all aspects of counter- insurgency training. Shortly after that his country was invaded and he was thrown in Dade County where he still sits. I recently finished reading his auto- biography. It left me wondering a lot about Milosovec's guilt or innocence! And I worry that no one's ready to hear this: but I wonder about Bin Laden's guilt or innocence in all this as well. It seems unimportant now that there might never have been any evidence, huh? I'm certainly not saying I respect or admire Bin Laden, what I want to know honestly and openly what he might have said publicly the day he was appointed Commander In Chief of the Taliban 30Aug01. What else might he have said beteen then and mid Sept? Did he defy the US Government? Did he say something about Henry Kissinger's mistress? Or Bush's manhood? Is he pushing the Iran/Contra issue? Maybe he had an axe to grind against the Enron people. If I can push the Noriega model perhaps more than I should, does he have proof that George W Bush is a consumer of Heroin and Cocain maybe? ========= - CALENDULA - ========= - 12mar295 - Maximilian refuses military service in Thevesta, North Afrika.

Spyware in your harddrive I bet. a c t i v i s i t m n e t s ! We end with a poem: OH AMERICA, WHERE ART THOU? by Michael o In the Beginning... There was a shrieking sound Rising from the plaint of The powerless in the face of The red-hot Sun burning, Terrifying them. They fled to caves As the moon Rose a'glowing And the owl screeched And nocturnal carnivores ate the Stragglers, the lame and The young. Powerless over birth and death, Their Patriarch's cocks Shriveled in failure To fight the winds and waters, Roaring earth and Firestorms that tore at them And the day creatures That stalked and devoured them Before being devoured By them. During the light of day They warred against helplessness In holy feasts and massacres Of dead blood and flesh And at night did Sacrifices and mad dances In the roaring heat of their captured Sun, Its light dancing on the Stark white of stake mounted skulls. They are called barbarians and savages. In wars of land and loot conquest, In merchandising slavery, They became powerful over Others who walked like them. They proclaimed themselves anew In sermon praises of a New sunlit day. 'A God,' they cried out, Bowing before an Anointed one, The strongest one, The most weaponed one, The richest one, For possession of land And gold Was deification. Hindu, Buddhist, Jew, Muslim, Christian, Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah, God... They prayed and chanted out. They wrote their myths and Grew their religions, Until humankind was but Servant to them. In the White man's world... They called themselves King, Pope Fuhrer and, Later, dare I say, The Holy Trinity of Doctor, Preacher, President. They garbed themselves in The bloodied robes Of their risen one, Chanting the name Of that dark skinned, Wooley-haired, Palestinian Jew, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Who their predecessors killed As quickly as they could, Lest he lead the people Against them, Whom their artists created Into a pale and weak blue eyed creature For their manhood's sake. Soon they costumed themselves In the role of Merchant, Banker, Mover, Shaker, Tithing for yet another Missionary seminary Of leaders girding their loins In their latest, contrived World wide, alabaster, Holy Christian War, One had became one in the same: The symbol of the dollar followed The warrior's cross into the battle Of mercantile. Do you doubt? Do you not see The dying entrails of Enron Snaking through the Bushes of Eden? Do you doubt: As the mammoth machines Of Halliburton reconstructed, Under Cheney's watchful eyes, Vast Asian battle fields Of the last war's millions dead. As he and Bush pave A new and sandy path For petroleum's Snaking pipeline desert route Through Afghanistan? Far too many of us Chose the High Mass Of Denial as our latest opium, As Bush the former, Nuked the children Of the Persian Gulf, As the protectorate of oil. And our soldiers came Home dying of a new rot In their bodies, Denied by the very Corporate government Who created it and Sent it and them there. Just as they did The Agents of Orange, Green and Blue. Then Bubba Bill Used the same Uranium tipped Bombs and bullets In the Balkans, Lest the Europe be Less stable for Euro-corporate dollar. And we never saw that As the Italian, Spanish, And German NATO Veterans fell sick, And dying, There was a Look of Hiroshima In their eyes. Far too many us have become Blinded by the glistening, Rolling, white zealot's eyes of The avenging Sword bearer Ashcroft, ---Who amidst singing the most pale of Fundamental nasal-tenor serene hymns, ---Eerily stayed attuned to This new Leader's Serpentine hiss, 'Terroristsssssssss.' It is the hiss heard round the world Everywhere the Burning Bush Has adopted the fallen flaming Cross Of the White Man's conscripted Burden. And lest we forget: One can hear the Echoing of Clinton feet, Once stomping the Liberal reformist march, Skittering like fleeing rat nails In the sacred halls of Global Crossing and over The dead and decaying Bank accounts of countless Broke and jobless employees. And suddenly, All our nation has gone silent as The steel barred gates of Executive fiat crash down like Crusader's sword thrusts ---killing as surely as the murderers of Danny Pearl--- And the Network Executive hatchet For rating knife points ---Risking as surely the dénouement Of Night Line--- Our First Amendment Right to know of our Elected's documented Wheels and Deals And as we now know of the Paranoid Nixon-Graham epithets Swearing at, and conspiring against, The unchristian rabble who they feared Would surround and devour them As in days of yore. It hisses forth now that we are Suspects all...'terroristssssss'... Oh, America, Nation that I love, This is not the War to End Terrorism But the war of Corporate Capital, Masqueraded in The Savior's patriot-uniform Adorned with plastic-colored, Neon crosses, Marching to military hymn's Sang by every TV Sunday morning, Gospel weaving Bible hawker, Out to eat our hearts and minds Like sacrifices of old. 'Terroristssssssssss!' The Leader spits the venom every moment. 'Witches,' his predecessor's screamed. Hunting them down. Drowning them, Torching them as pyre kindling Akin to that what made The ashes of Salem and St. Joan fills the sky. 'Heathens, pagans, barbarians, rabble-rousers, Devil, Shaman, Infidel, Atheist.' History records The never ending Victim litany of these Hypocrites. Oh, and less we forget, The seventy years of 'Communist Antichrists,' Who, they raved, were coming To take our young at dinnertime, Not with movierola Fava beans, But to lure them away from the Eucharist of sacrificial blood-grape wine And white flesh wafers, With gifts of Dixie Cups filled with Mixed fruit Jell-O and A promise of Heaven on Earth of Choc-o-late pudding with Sunday desert plates stacked with Sugar Icy Crispy Cream donuts, and By numbing their little, fragile Impressionable minds With chlorophyll, and promises Of freedom and equality This Red Menace would Then rape and invade their Tender virgin bodies with something Known to them as Godless Atheism. And even though the threatened marched And picketed and protested lock step With these Red villains, And some of them sexed with The Commies And joined with them in their Pathetic Party, They seemed to have survived, Minds and souls And organs intact, To think for themselves another day. That is, those that were not tormented And driven from their homes and country As outcasts and traitors for Opposing the predecessors Of the Corporate Killing Machine That lives today. And today, The names of the suspects Have changed. Today it is Militants, Radicals. And did I remember to mention, 'Evil Doers?' Next, they will place Black and white head shots of Revolutionaries Wanted Dead or Alive Next to the Ten Commandments In every school hallway. And as they contaminate again Those once hallowed institutions You will hear the cries of The once heroic, oft immortalized, Revolutionary Heroes, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington and Paine, As they flee for sanctuary Behind the parchment cloak Of their Bill of Rights, Only to find it ripped asunder And torched with flames from The firestorm of torch crosses And burning books. Like our history, We have been stolen, Kidnapped, held hostage. Our armor of inalienable honor Pierced as if by U-238 projectiles. We and the citizens of the world Are being prepared for rape and murder By the rogue Wildcat Agents of Wall Street's mean spirited White Christendom. They are cynical barbarians dressed In Brooks Brothers' Khaki camouflage, Who, now armed with the omnipotent power Of an unthinkable war of nuclear first strike, Go on the Crusade of the Righteous One, Against the peasants of The World of color, Raving in sermon and blood letting. They have taken power For someone in alarm Had screamed: 'Because of Bill Clinton, There will be a Nigger in The White House.' And a Sentry of the Right said, 'Not until they pry This gun from my Cold, dead fingers.' "Then Mullahs ruling The Temple Mount.' Another shouted? 'Not until this Uzi falls empty Across my dead Child's chest.' 'Shalom,' he wailed, A friend of a Hollywood Democrat, His head banging Against The Wall Drowning out The gavel sounds Of Nuremberg And the Blinding, stark, Reminiscent Black and white Photographic images Of Jews being rounded-up In the ghettos of Warsaw. Just like Palestinians From the Gaza COMMENTS = ATI@ETEXT.ORG
