Posted February 27, 2007 Air Blue Away
Thousands of holiday travelers found
themselves inadvertently grounded today when Air Blue Away lost
complete control of reality for an entire morning, bringing business to a
standstill across the Midwest.
Disgruntled customer Ali Tabug complained
that "I only get one week's vacation a year. I planned to spend it blown away,
not totally grounded in reality. What a major bummer."
Air Blue Away President Art
C. Fartsy admitted today that "like all our satisfied customers over the years,
these people were expecting to get blown away but found themselves inadvertently
grounded in reality. I know what that's like and I apologize. Nobody is going to
be fired over the incident. I take full responsibility."
Mike Easerindecar, chairman and CEO of
Bummers 'r' Us, said "We resent this blatant case of copyright
infringement. We've been marketing bummers for years, in direct competition with
Air Blue Away, and they have no right to associate themselves with
bummers in any way, shape, or form."
"That just blows me away," declared Fartsy,
"but I can dig where he's coming from. I'd like to assure Mr. Easerindecar that
we are not trying to attract customers interested in bummers, and I actually
find it surprising that such a market exists. The whole idea bums me out
royal."
"There he goes again," replied Fartsy. "I'm
blown away by Easerindecar's capacity to bum me out."
In fact, the blown away and bummer
marketplaces have been running neck and neck for years. Customers seem to be
equally attracted to both concepts.
"I bought into bummers in '93," says bummer
billionaire Anita Smack, "and my worth kept doubling and tripling."
"I was blown away in '71," says
crypto-neurosurgeon Harmony Slapper from his new home in Guantanamo, "and look
where it got me."
"My first major bummer was so intense I've
subconsciously been repeating it over and over for years," explained neo-bum
Wilma Fingerdo, who lost a fortune this year in real bummers.
"Every time I'm blown away, it reminds me of
the first time I was blown away, and it just blows me away that happens," said
nobody in particular.
"That just bums me out. I'm always grounded
in reality. I don't know what all those crybabies are complaining about," said
Xavier Self from Drowning, PA., who's been a bummer for 47 years and
counting.
"I don't buy into any of this," Buddha butted
in. "One must be blown away AND grounded in reality to find nirvana."
Nirvana had no comment.
"I just blows me away that anyone could say such a thing."

"Concentrate your phaser power on what appears to be its head."

 Tomb of Fictional Character
Found
"We're as stunned as everyone is," said film
director Ivan T'bycha. "The last thing we expected to find in this archeological
dig was the remains of a fictional character, his wife, and two kids."
"It simply strains disbelief," said Dondy
Lifejackets, chairman of the archdiocese of Reactionary Intellectuals.
"Other than this so-called 'tomb' in this so called 'dig,' there's no direct
evidence whatsoever that fictional characters die natural deaths."
The History Channel promises to get
to the bottom of this implausible controversy in a new one-hour special called
"Watch This Or We'll Kill You Then Do A Special About You."
How to Change
Things
 The Hegelian Dialectic is a process formulated by the German
philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (17701831) and used by Karl Marx in
codifying revolutionary Communism as dialectical materialism. This process can
be illustrated as:
This is the primary tool in the bag of tricks used by change agents who are
trained to direct this process all over the country... A good example of this
concept was voiced by T.H. Bell when he was U.S. Secretary of Education: "[We]
need to create a crisis to get consensus in order to bring about change."

"Federal prosecutors counted immigration violations, marriage fraud and
drug trafficking among anti-terror cases in the four years after 9/11 even
though no evidence linked them to terror activity, a Justice Department audit
said Tuesday. Overall, nearly all of the terrorism-related statistics on
investigations, referrals and cases examined by department Inspector General
Glenn A. Fine were either diminished or inflated."
"The United States on Friday rejected an international
call to abandon the use of cluster bombs, State Department spokesman Sean
McCormack said.
"'We ... take the position that these munitions do have
a place and a use in military inventories, given the right technology as well as
the proper rules of engagement,' McCormack said.
"Forty-six countries meeting in Oslo on Friday pledged
to seek a treaty banning cluster bombs by next year, with major user and
stockpiler Britain and manufacturer France signing on, Norway said...
"A cluster bomb is a container holding hundreds of
smaller bomblets. It opens in mid-air and disperses the bomblets over a large
area.
"The smaller bombs do not always explode on impact,
which means they can continue to kill innocent civilians years later.
"A recent report by Handicap International claimed that
98 percent of casualties from cluster munitions are non-combatants.

Disturbing Video of the
Week
On 9/11, it would seem the BBC was about half an
hour too early in reporting the collapse of WTC7. In what is clearly a
pre-written cover story, the reporters are explaining the details of the
collapse. They explain that the building was damaged due to falling debris and
that it collapsed as a result. The problem is
that the building is standing RIGHT BEHIND THE REPORTER as she is reading the
report! Check out this
video (or the enormous MPG here)
which seems to indicate there was a press release prepared about the collapse
(really a controlled demolition) before it ever happened, and the BBC
somehow aired it too early. Unless you have another explanation.

"Contrary to common perception,
Jewish anti-Zionism is not restricted exclusively to the well know Jewish
anti-Zionist movements such as Satmar and Neturei Karta.
"There are in fact many Jewish movements, groups and
organizations whose ideology regarding Zionism and the so-called 'State of
Israel' is that of the unadulterated Torah position that any form of Zionism is
heresy and that the existence of the so-called 'State of Israel' is
illegitimate.
"No one has had to create any antagonism between our Torah and
Zionism because such antagonism exists by virtue of the essence of Judaism
itself, which can never tolerate the heresy of Zionism."
"In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us

"Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand
years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could
stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would,
of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is
sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision."

"They are like Catholics and Protestants who
simply worship the same deity, the same '®God', in a slightly different way
using slightly different rituals. Just as Catholics and Protestants argue over
how to worship the same God, so the '®left' and '®right' argue over how to
worship the same system. And here's the key: both jump on anyone who
genuinely challenges the system itself like those exposing the truth
about 9/11.
"A Catholic and Protestant may be having an
argument over Christianity, but as soon as a Jew or Muslim starts challenging
Christianity itself the Catholic and Protestant will immediately forget their
disagreements and join forces to defend it. That is precisely what happens with
'®left¡' and '®right¡' when an outsider seeks to expose the system on which they
both rely for their sense of who they are."
- David Icke -
"Criticism - the most keen, ruthless and uncompromising
criticism - should be directed, not against parliamentarianism or parliamentary
activities, but against those leaders who are unable - and still more against
those who are unwilling - to utilise parliamentary elections and the
parliamentary rostrum in a revolutionary and communist manner. Only such
criticism - combined, of course, with the dismissal of incapable leaders and
their replacement by capable ones - will constitute useful and fruitful
revolutionary work that will simultaneously train the 'leaders' to be worthy of
the working class and of all working people, and train the masses to be able
properly to understand the political situation and the often very complicated
and intricate tasks that spring from that situation."

"In regards to Iraq being a potential threat
to the United States, George W. Bush used 'worst case scenario' logic to
convince the world that America had to take the most extreme measures available
in order to eliminate this potential threat. This is a threat that showed no
signs of existing, had no evidence to support its existence and claimed no lives
at all!
"Bush's logic & exact words: 'We don't want the
smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.'
"Contrarily, when it comes to Bush's logic on the
potential threat posed by global warming Bush uses the 'best case
scenario.'
"Bush's logic (in my words): 'We need many many more
smoking guns in the form of funnel clouds and such before we address this
potential threat!'
"In a flash, the blast incinerates air, sprays metal,
burns flesh. Milliseconds after an improvised explosive device (IED) detonates,
a blink after a mortar shell blows, an overpressurization wave engulfs the human
body, and just as quickly, an underpressure wave follows and vanishes. Eardrums
burst, bubbles appear in the bloodstream, the heart slows. A soldier - or a
civilian - can survive the blast without a single penetrating wound and still
receive the worst diagnosis: traumatic brain injury, or TBI, the signature
injury of the Iraq War.
"But in the same instant that the blast unleashes chaos,
it also activates the most organized and sophisticated trauma care in history.
Within a matter of hours, a soldier can be medevaced to a state-of-the-art field
hospital, placed on a flying intensive care unit, and receive continuous
critical care a sea away. (During Vietnam, it took an average of 15 days to
receive that level of treatment. Today the military can deliver it in 13 hours.)
Heroic measures may be yielding unprecedented survival rates, but they also
carry a grim consequence: No other war has created so many seriously disabled
veterans. Soldiers are surviving some brain injuries with only their brain stems
unimpaired."

Walking - What sort of future do brain-injured Iraq veterans

"We don't recognize our collective madness because not only is it so
pervasive, but because it is so overwhelmingly obvious. All we have to do to see
the madness of our species is to open our eyes and look at what we are doing to
each other, to the environment which we depend on for our survival, and to
ourselves. What more evidence of a collective psychosis do we possibly need? We
have become habituated to our collective madness, thinking of it as 'normal,'
which is in and of itself an expression of our madness."
- Paul Levy -
"When the Founding Fathers crafted the U.S.
Constitution, they wanted to be sure that the president, vice president, and
other ranking officials could be evicted more easily than the British monarchy.
To ensure that the process would be swift and certain, they made it simple: Only
two conditions must be met. First, a majority of the House of Representatives
must agree on a set of charges; then, two-thirds of the Senate must agree to
convict. After that, there is no legal wrangling, no appeal to a higher
authority, no reversal on technical grounds. There is not even a limit on what
the charges may be. As the Constitution describes it, the cause may be treason,
bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors, but even these were left
deliberately vague; as Gerald Ford once pointed out while still serving in the
House of Representatives, the only real definition of an impeachable offense is
whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a
given moment in history.
"To the credit of this nation, despite the relative ease
of impeachment, only seventeen officials have sunk to such ignominious depths
that the process has been invoked. The reasons for impeachment have ranged from
the outrageous to the banal: from putting political enemies in jail (Judge James
H. Peck, 1830) to cheating on taxes (Judge Harry E. Claiborne, 1986); from being
rude to Congress - unmindful of the harmony and courtesies which ought to exist
and be maintained between the executive and legislative branches, (President
Andrew Johnson, 1868) to being a drunkard -a man of loose morals and intemperate
habits, (Judge John Pickering, 1803). One president was even impeached for
having the good taste to keep his sex life private - concealing the nature and
details of his relationship with a subordinate Government employee, (President
William Jefferson Clinton, 1998).
"In the case of George W. Bush, there may be any number
of reasons not to add an eighteenth name to the list. These range from the
moderate (that two consecutive presidential impeachments would do more harm than
good to the nation) to the provocative (that while Bush has been wrong about a
staggering number of issues, he is too hapless to be held accountable for it) to
the pragmatic (that even if Bush were impeached, we would still be stuck with
Vice President Cheney). There is even, for those inclined to such things, an
argument by design: that the president is the president, and therefore God
designed it that way.
"But none of these apply to Vice President Cheney, and
not only because it was Cheney (and not God, or George W. Bush, or anybody else)
who selected himself as vice president back in 2000. With Cheney, there are also
no lingering questions about capacity, motive, or malice. Over the past six
years, as the country has spiraled into military misadventure, fiscal madness,
and environmental meltdown, the vice president has not merely been wrong about
the issues; he has been duplicitous, deceitful, and deliberately destructive to
the American democracy. These things can no longer be denied by rational
minds."
- Wil S. Hylton: The People V.
Richard Cheney - including articles of impeachment, from GQ! -
"Delusional is far too mild a word to describe Cheney. Delusional
doesn't begin to capture the profound, transcendental one-flew-over
daftness of the man. Has anyone in the history of the United States ever
been so singularly wrong and misguided about such phenomenally important
events and continued to insist he's right in the face of overwhelming
evidence to the contrary?" - Maureen Dowd: Daffy
Does Doom -
"The call for Rainbow Solidarity for the Cuban Five has
not received one word of big-business media coverage--print or electronic.
"The call first went out in January, from a
multi-national and multi-lingual group of U.S.-based lesbian, gay, bi and trans
activists, to build solidarity with these five political prisoners - Gerardo
Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labaino, Fernando Gonzalez, and Ren Gonzalez.
They are serving long sentences in U.S. penitentiaries for the crime of
infiltrating CIA-backed fascist commando groups in order to halt terror attacks
against Cuba from U.S. soil.
"The Rainbow Solidarity for the Cuban Five call demands
a new trial and freedom for these political prisoners, defense of Cuban
sovereignty and self-determination and a halt to the illegal U.S. acts of war
against Cuba - including the economic blockade and CIA-trained, funded and armed
attacks by mercenary contra armies operating from this country."

Five -
"[T]he Plasma Converter stands in the center of
the room. The entire thing takes up about as much space as a two-car garage,
surprisingly compact for a machine that can consume nearly any type of waste -
from dirty diapers to chemical weapons - by annihilating toxic materials in a
process as old as the universe itself. Called plasma gasification, it works a
little like the big bang, only backward (you get nothing from something). Inside
a sealed vessel made of stainless steel and filled with a stable gas - either
pure nitrogen or, as in this case, ordinary air - a 650-volt current passing
between two electrodes rips electrons from the air, converting the gas into
plasma. Current flows continuously through this newly formed plasma, creating a
field of extremely intense energy very much like lightning. The radiant energy
of the plasma arc is so powerful, it disintegrates trash into its constituent
elements by tearing apart molecular bonds. The system is capable of breaking
down pretty much anything except nuclear waste, the isotopes of which are
indestructible. The only by-products are an obsidian-like glass used as a raw
material for numerous applications, including bathroom tiles and high-strength
asphalt, and a synthesis gas, or syngas - a mixture of primarily hydrogen
and carbon monoxide that can be converted into a variety of marketable fuels,
including ethanol, natural gas and hydrogen.
"Perhaps the most amazing part
of the process is that its self-sustaining. Just like your toaster, Startechs
Plasma Converter draws its power from the electrical grid to get started. The
initial voltage is about equal to the zap from a police stun gun. But once the
cycle is under way, the 2,200F syngas is fed into a cooling system, generating
steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. About two thirds of the power
is siphoned off to run the converter; the rest can be used on-site for heating
or electricity, or sold back to the utility grid...

might actually make money from garbage."

toxic trash into clean energy - and promises to make a relic of the landfill

HARARE, Zimbabwe (04-04) After 20 mental patients disappeared from his bus, a driver replaced them with sane citizens and delivered them to a mental hospital. The unidentified bus driver was transporting 20 mental patients from the capital city of Harare to Bulawayo Mental Hospital when he decided to stop for a few drinks at an illegal roadside liquor store. Upon his return he was shocked to discovered that all the mental patients had escaped. Desperate for a solution, the driver stopped at the next bus stop and offered free bus rides to several people. He then delivered them to the mental hospital, informing the staff they were easily excitable. It took the medical personnel three days to uncover the foul play. The real mental patients are still at large. |
Chapter 1
The Inmates It was a good night to be insane. Pitch black, rain pouring heavily, lightning striking again and again, perfect for lighting up the old wooden sign outside the crumbling gray stone walls of "The Gainesville Asylum for the Insane," with the word "insane" crossed off in crayon and the words "mentally handicapped" scrawled nearby, and the words "mentally handicapped" crossed off in chalk with the words "perfectly normal" scribbled next to them. There must have been an insane cackle breaking the momentum of the storm as lightning struck again and again, barely illuminating a skeleton key opening an old lock on a dirty door, heavy with age, squeaking open with a rusty creak. Another insane cackle. Yep, the insane like nights like this. It takes them outside themselves, forcing them to ponder the outside world as it really is, a random series of powerful illuminations, rather than the inside world, which varies splendidly in the sparkling synapses of the cerebral cortex of each individual, sane or not. |

The Critics Agree
Looks like it might be “REALLY GOOD” - Publisher’s Discount Outlet Not quite as “HILARIOUS” as I thought it was going to be - New York Times Falls far short of “THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL” - Joyce Carol Oates Tries very hard to be “THE FUNNIEST BOOK YOU’LL EVER READ” - Norman Mailer “I WISH I’D THOUGHT OF IT” because if it had been written by me it would have been much better - Dave Barry When I stopped reading and turned on The Family Guy, “I COULDN’T STOP LAUGHING” - Carl Hiaasen Almost achieves something “INCREDIBLY GREAT” but falls far short - The Village Voice The author obviously thinks he’s a “GENIUS” - Psychiatry Today If you want something “ENORMOUSLY ENTERTAINING” look elsewhere - Books in Print “INSPIRED” me to write a better book - P.J. O’Roarke It starts out fairly RATIONAL, but about halfway through you're bound to tell yourself "this is NUTS." A second later, you will nod as another voice in your head says "PRECISELY." - Sigmund Freud $20 for the quality paperback from Cafepress. $10 for a PDF file directly to your mailbox, preferably with Paypal, or write me and tell me why you think you deserve a free copy.

The Management Disavows This Acknowledgment (and the last one too)
Disinfotainment
Today is apparently for free and seems to appear weekly. Go
ahead, reproduce it, I dare you. Go ye forth and cut and paste
and see where it gets you. Disinfotainment Today consists of
information from oodles of sources, cut up, thrown in the air, and trod
upon, just like my life, just like yours, just like America. Everything
is everywhere, so I apologize if you're seeing the same thing twice,
unless you like it, in which case good for me. If you see something
that you feel should be attributed to you, or if you think I actually
OWE you anything, please accept the fact that much of
everything that everybody does is unacknowledgeable, and if everyone
had to seek permission from all their influences, artistic progress
would grind to a standstill. Legally, it's either
satire or fair use, but should you be
thinking of suing me over something, you should know it wasn't
me, it was someone else, unless you're Bill Hickes, in which case you're dead so what different does it make?
