Please help those affected by Hurricane Katrina by dropping off items such as bottled water, mosquito repellent, hygiene items, and anything you can spare. The drop-off is at the OpticalReverb Art Gallery and Paragon Culinary School: 3125 Sinton Rd (enter at the FillmoreCrossing entrance).
Pass the word as we are hoping to send a truck weekly and run this
relief project for as long as it takes.
These people are in serious need of our help.
Thank you sincerely,
Jason Zacharias
Director of OpticalReverb Art Gallery

So Salon reported today that a fundamentalist Christian group is blaming (guess what?) abortion for the truly appalling loss of life, property and history in New Orleans, courtesy of that bitch, Katrina. Their proof? A satellite image of a hurricane kinda looks like a fetus if you manipulate the color. Abortion is apparently also to blame for commas, sperm, the letter “Q” and, apparently, fetuses — this ridiculousness based on the fact that Louisiana has ten locations where women can legally obtain an abortion, fewer than a great deal of states, even in the South. Our point? God is a fucking tard.

An Interview with Matt Taibbi
By John Dicker
Quite simply, Matt Taibbi is one of the last great writer-journalists not lapping up right-wing dick to prove that he’s not a part of the propagandified “liberal media.” Oh, and he has a sense of humor.
Curriculum Vitae: After more than a decade living in Russia, Uzbekistan and Mongolia as a young writer, professional basketball player (no kidding) and publisher (of the ex-pat humor rag eXile), Taibbi returned to America and found his way to The New York Press, an alternative weekly founded in the late-1980s by Russ Smith.
At the Press, Taibbi began attracting attention for spewing vitriolic and intelligent political analysis without being a pedantic bore — characteristics that (along with prankster inclinations and a fondness for drugs) have earned him none-too-few comparisons to the late Hunter S. Thompson.
Taibbi is perhaps best known for covering the Kerry campaign dressed as a monkey, interviewing the former head of the Office of National Drug Policy in a Viking hat while on acid, and going undercover in the Bush 2004 campaign machine in Florida, where he became so immersed in the mobilization that he was practically running the Orlando office after a month. These antics can be found in his compilation of campaign trail journalism, Spanking The Donkey: Dispatches From the Dumb Season (New Press, 2005).
Taibbi recently left The New York Press and will now be a roving writer for Rolling Stone. In an exclusive interview, he spoke with The Toilet Paper about the state of journalism, Christianity, his departure from the NYP, and his preferred form of burial.
Toilet Paper: When you were doing eXile in Russia you threw a pie filled with horse semen in the face of the New York Times‘ Moscow bureau chief. What was his offense?

As promised, here are the videos of our World’s Largest Dreamcatcher slingshot experiment. To read the story of why all of this REALLY unnecessary nonsense happened, go HERE.
Watch the video of these young children describing how much fun the dream catcher is before anything at all has happened!!!
Watch the video of Kurt’s pathetic attempt to launch the “I Can Pee” baby doll.
Watch the video of my heroic launch of the “I Can Pee” baby doll into the dreamcatcher — a lifelong dream of mine.
Watch the video of ne’erdowell children launching wads of actual toilet paper from our gigantic slingshot at my wife!
Watch the video from a the dreamcatcher’s-eye-view cam as ne’erdowell children have fun with fun.

Here’s a link to a pretty spooky video from what was apparently a legal rave (w/ permits, security guards and $2 million in liability insurance) in Utah that got shat down upon by cops in combat gear w/ assault rifles, helicopters etc. There are some firsthand accounts HERE and HERE.
While this is definitely disturbing and we should be paying attention any and all of these kinds of incidents (it’s not hard to imagine The Toilet Paper getting shut down in a similar fashion given the current political climate), let’s not forget that there are minorities of all stripes who’ve been putting up with this kind of oppression forever, i.e. fascist state behavior doesn’t “suddenly” begin when it starts happening to white kids.

All this Bullshit in the world calls Homeland Security to Action. All over the shit-ass country of Iraq: Saddam Hussein’s crimes against humanity, killing innocent people for oil, outsourcing jobs to Iraq, and threatening us with weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile in the asswipe country of Afghanistan: Osama Bin Laden is hiding somewhere, his Al Qaeda terror network is responsible for the September 11 attacks on America, and they will threaten us again. How can we put an end to all the terrorist threats? By killing the terror regimes and its leaders: from executing them in a large tank, to blowing them up in a building; the President, Tom Ridge and Donald Rumsfeld will be pleased.

Everyone familiar with Focus’ movie review site? They and their scintillatingly gifted critics comb through popular films, rating them both as works and through the lens of theo-jackassery. Who’s rating them, though? Us, bitch. That’s who.
This review starts out strong, with the writer praising the content and message of the movie while giving due props to Mssr. Dahl. Our first problems comes in the third paragraph:
So Charlie and his bratty, impertinent, greedy, stuck-up comrades waltz into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. And in so doing their story lives on for a new generation of young fans who hopefully, after watching, will become slightly less bratty, less impertinent, less greedy and less stuck-up than they were before.
You catch that? “Comrades”? What the fuck is this?

Unfortunately for those of us who don’t have the $ or the Bullshit Detector Blocker required to occupy public office, Mr. Adam Leech (see Church Kicker below) sent this out today:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
First, let me thank everyone who has supported me and my campaign thus far. It has been an interesting and valuable experience in more ways than I could have ever anticipated, and your kind words and thoughts are appreciated more than you will ever know.
With that said, I regret very much to inform you all that I will no longer be pursuing a seat on the D-11 school board. I have had some serious and unexpected events take place over the last month that have forced me to reconsider my run, and it finally dawned on me that I simply do not have the time and resources required to adequately perform the duties of a school board director. This is NOT to say that I wouldn’t have kicked serious ass at it, but there is a time and a place for everything, and I am fairly certain that this is neither the time, nor(?) the place. I fear that the system is no more ready for me than I am for it, and taking on an endeavor of this magnitude at this point in my life would only be a disservice to me, my family, my business, and my customers.
All hope is not lost, as I will hopefully be working with the remaining “not insane” candidates and will be lending my support to many causes throughout the D-11 community, and as always, I am around the shop most of the time to help you kids out with homework or any other troubles you may have. Just stop by and say “hi,” and HANG IN THERE… public school is only temporary… someday you will run this
world. I just hope you guys do better than we have so far!
Again, thanks for humoring me, and I think I got it all out of my system… unless that seat on city council starts nagging at me!
Sincerely,
Adam Leech
