From the News

Two things:

The first is that Kenneth Lay apparently has had the case against him dismissed, simply by the virtue that the dead can't appeal. I call bullshit on this -- or at least that it should happen. I agree that the dead can't appeal. But I don't believe in this idea of someone being dead and thus free from attack. You see the same thing with dead musicians, especially the likes of Bradley Nowell. Stupid Thanatocultists.

The second is much more infuriating. At the swearing in of the newly appointed US global AIDS coordinator Mark Dybul, a Gay dude, Secretary Rice referred to Dybul's partner's mother has being Dybul's "mother-in-law." This has the far right INFURIATED, with a spokesman for that center of excellence, the Family Research Council, stating, "We have to face the fact that putting a homosexual in charge of AIDS policy is a bit like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse," and characterizing this semantic debacle as being "profoundly offensive."

Oh yeah, what a world.

i need your contact information one more time, so i can get the gear to your house in bellingham. it was saved on my computer in bellingham, and i emailed it to my hotmail account in seattle, and the email didnt get through.

soon as you can, call my cell with that stuff. because im still on track to go up to bellingham at 2:30, and if i dont have an address or anything, then i cant bring the drums, since i wont have anywhere to store them other than your house.

soon as you can, call my cell.
