Posted December 4, 2006 Can
you believe the
Supreme court of the United states is considering the
constitutionality of a high school principal suspending a student for
posting a banner saying "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" in the street, off
school property, in the path of an Olympic runner, hoping to get his
message on television? If the sign had appeared in the hallways of the
school during a Christmas pageant, the principal might have had a weak
leg to stand on. After all, to encourage drug use on school property is
tantamount to encouraging cigarettes and alcohol, but I would contend
the saying does NOT encourage drug use and is just a joke, a
pretty funny one, with no particular message whatsoever other than to
make you think, so let's do that.
A high
school principal punishing a student, Joseph Frederick, for
activities off campus, even a "school sponsored event," seems
a stretch too impossible to imagine. Or is it? Maybe this is
the way to go. Maybe schools should give us grades for everything we do
outside of school, a B-minus in watching television, an F in picking
your nose in private. The case was a slippery slope that the
Alaskan appellate court, in a unique display of common sense, threw
out. The student won and that should have been that. A triumph
of free speech for the state of Alaska. Case closed.
But then a
law firm decided that this would not stand. Without a client, strictly
on their own initiative, they took the case to the Supreme Court,
begging them to overturn the Alaskan appellate court's decision.
They're asking the highest court in the land to exonerate the principal
(and principle), to allow the eight days of suspension,
already served, to stand as reasonable. And the Supreme Court, in their
vast supremacy, decided this was worthy of their attention. Apparently
the message "Bong hits 4 Jesus" is so reprehensible that it simply has
to be punished. Instead of going after the originator, the online site
whitehouse.org, who daily display it in front of thousands of internet
surfers, and from whom I stole and pasted it above in a blatant display
of copyright infringement, the law firm decided to go after some kid
who wrote it down on a banner and displayed it in front of what might
have been dozens of people who weren't on the internet at the moment.
Since no cops at the scene had the foresight to bash his head in, much
less arrest him for public indecency, it was up to his school
principal to bestow suitable punishment upon the poor sinner from hell
who was otherwise getting good grades.
This
wouldn't be a political issue if it weren't for the fact this case
wouldn't still exist except for the wretched man who spent bazillions
of taxpayer dollars investigating the president's bodily functions, the
king of concern for what people do in private, yes, it's the rebirth of
Ken Starr, a man with an incomprehensible agenda. Not content with
shoving oral sex down our throats every day for years, now he thinks
we'll be outraged at the very idea of the son of God, born of a virgin,
miracle worker, resurrected from the grave after dying for our sins,
chuffing a bongload of Hawaiian. After all, wouldn't he more likely
have come in contact with Afghani hash?
Other than
the obvious hallucinations in the New Testament, there is no particular
evidence of drug use in the year zero other than the fact that clothing
was made of hemp and, every once in while, the hemp plant spews out
flowers with remarkable power. Jesus had means and
opportunity, which leaves motive. No Playstations, no iPods, no malls,
nothing to do but handle your hormones while wearing a robe
and dealing with a mom with a definite Madonna complex and two dads,
one on earth who isn't biological, and one in the sky with a God
complex who is. Sounds like motive to me. It's important to
remember there is no evidence whatsoever that Jesus DIDN'T enjoy a
fatty once in a while. Consumption of leaves by setting them
on fire is a crime that disposes of its own evidence.
If I were
rich, I'd hire an expert, probably myself, and search the world's
museums for antiquities, identifying bongs that have been misidentified
by the archeological community as drinking vessels or tools for penis
enlargement.
Though the
whitehouse.org graphic accompanying the mischievous slogan shows the
son of God getting a blast of gnarly, the quote itself suggests no such
thing, and Joseph Frederick's sign didn't have the graphic, making the
message something like "Mushrooms 4 Mohammed" or "Jell-O shots 4
Buddha" or "Crystal Meth 4 Krishnamurti." The "4" means
"for," implying not that Jesus, during his teenage years,
might have been offered a toke somewhere in his wandering, but
that we, in celebration of his glory, should fire one up once in a
while. The censoring of Jesus' drug use is the most plausible
explanation for the fact that not one of the gospels covers his teenage
years.
I smell a
television series, a cross between Smallville
and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in biblical times,
following the exploits of our hapless wandering pre-messiah going
through puberty and fighting demons, both personal and
real, with his loyal gang of goofy followers who learn a thing
or two about the wiles of Satan and his loyal gang of snarly
orcs. Hilarious preparations for Armageddon ensue as teenage
Jesus cures acne with a touch and changes water into Jagermeister with
a wave of his hand. Fuck that Aramaic bullshit. Our Jesus speaks
English like a good Mexican in America. This is before he became well
known, so he always introduces himself to people as "Christ, Jesus
Christ, with a C-H." It's his catch phrase and, of course, the name of
the show.
"Christ with a C-H" is a
registered trademark of Michael Dare, unless registration consists of
doing anything other than writing this sentence. Any major, or even
minor network production of a TV show called "Christ with a C-H" will
be considered an act of copyright infringement to be punished by their
old high school principals (and principles).

Something to Think About
There were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done
it, but eventually Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry that Nobody had done it, because it was Everybody's
job!
Everybody thought Anybody could have done it, but Nobody realized that
Everybody hadn't done it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did what
Anybody could have done!

"A record 7 million people - one in every 32 U.S. adults - were behind
bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year, a Justice
Department report released yesterday shows.
"Of those, 2.2
million were in prison or jail, an increase of 2.7 percent over the
previous year, according to the report.
"More than 4.1 million people were on probation and 784,208 were on
parole at the end of 2005. Prison releases are increasing, but
admissions are increasing more...
"'Misguided policies that create harsher
sentences for nonviolent drug offenses are disproportionately
responsible for the increasing rates of women in prisons and jails,'
Marc Mauer, executive director of the Sentencing Project, a
Washington-based group that supports criminal justice reform, said in a
statement.
"From 1995 to 2003,
inmates incarcerated in federal prisons for drug offenses have
accounted for 49 percent of total prison population growth."
"Persons taking no active part in the hostilities,
including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and
those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any
other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without
any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith,
sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria... The wounded and
sick, as well as the infirm, and expectant mothers, shall be the object
of particular protection and respect... As far as military
considerations allow, each Party to the conflict shall facilitate the
steps taken to search for the killed and wounded, to assist the
shipwrecked and other persons exposed to grave danger, and to protect
them against pillage and ill-treatment."
"'The administration
has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth
Column movements,' Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate
Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6. 'I stand by this President's
ability, inherent to being Commander-in-Chief, to find out about Fifth
Column movements, and I don't think you need a warrant to do that,'
Graham added, volunteering to work with the administration to draft
guidelines for how best to neutralize this alleged threat.
"'Senator,' a smiling
Gonzales responded, 'the President already said we'd be happy to listen
to your ideas.'
"In less paranoid
times, Graham's comments might be viewed by many Americans as a
Republican trying to have it both ways - ingratiating himself to an
administration of his own party while seeking some credit from
Washington centrists for suggesting Congress should have at least a
tiny say in how Bush runs the War on Terror.
"But recent
developments suggest that the Bush administration may already be
contemplating what to do with Americans who are deemed insufficiently
loyal or who disseminate information that may be considered helpful to
the enemy.
"Top U.S. officials
have cited the need to challenge 'news' that undercuts Bush's actions
as a key front in defeating the terrorists, who are aided by news
informers in the words of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
"Plus, there was that
curious development in January when the Army Corps of Engineers awarded
Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root a $385 million
contract to construct detention centers somewhere in the United States,
to deal with an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to
'support the rapid development of new programs,' KBR said...
"Less attention
centered on the phrase 'rapid development of new programs' and what
kind of programs would require a major expansion of detention centers,
each capable of holding 5,000 people. Jamie Zuieback, a spokeswoman for
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, declined to elaborate on what
these new programs might be."

"Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot." - Mark Twain: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - "Trying

"The path of least resistance and least
trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to
undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it
as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once
committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it
is literally a 'pet' notion and we rise to its defense and stop our
eyes and ears to anything different."
- John Dewey -
"Some years ago, the New York City fire department made a fundamental
paradigm shift away from fire emergency response toward fire
prevention. The department changed the way it approached its job and
turned more energy and resources into public education, early detection
systems, better building codes, and addressing some of the most
persistent causes of fire. They saved lives and, over a few short
years, began fighting fewer and less devastating fires. A similar shift
in approach to conflict could save lives and reduce the occasion of war.
"The U.S. can help
lead this shift. The threats of weapons of mass destruction, terrorist
networks, oppressive regimes, ethnic conflict, failed states, and
devastating poverty and disease can be diminished through policies and
programs designed to peacefully prevent the outbreak of violence and
address the root causes of conflict. As U.S. Senator Joseph Biden (DE)
proposed in late July 2003, 'Instead of a preemption doctrine, what we
need is a prevention doctrine which diffuses problems long before they
explode in our face.' Such a U.S. policy framework would build on the
efforts already underway within some U.S. government agencies, at the
UN, among European allies, in regional organizations, and among civil
society groups to develop stronger capacities for early warning, early
response, and addressing root causes. It would replace the policy of
'preemptive' war with one of war prevention."

"When I called former Democratic Sen. Gary Hart at his office in
Colorado, I explained that I was working on a story about permanent
bases in Iraq. 'Right,' Hart replied, 'unlike the New York
Times and the Washington Post. The fact that no one's discussing this is
a great mystery to me,' Hart told me.
"If the topic of
permanent bases in Iraq seems unfamiliar, it's because, as Hart noted,
there's been barely a whisper about them in the mainstream media. While
the deteriorating situation in Iraq is making headlines daily, it's
been two months since any reports on the presence or construction of
bases have emerged from major press outlets. Yet, the issue of
permanent bases is one that cuts to the heart of not only how long we
intend to stay in Iraq, but why we got there in the first place.
"'If the goal
of ... the Bush administration, was to overthrow Saddam Hussein,
install a friendly government in Baghdad, set up a permanent political
and military presence in Iraq, and dominate the behavior of the region
(including securing oil supplies),' Hart wrote in May, 'then you build
permanent bases for some kind of permanent American military presence.
If the goal was to spread democracy and freedom, then you don't.'"

"Mr. Buffett compiled a data sheet of the men and women who work in his
office. He had each of them make a fraction; the numerator was how much
they paid in federal income tax and in payroll taxes for Social
Security and Medicare, and the denominator was their taxable income.
The people in his office were mostly secretaries and clerks, though not
all.
"It turned out that
Mr. Buffett, with immense income from dividends and capital gains, paid
far, far less as a fraction of his income than the secretaries or the
clerks or anyone else in his office. Further, in conversation it came
up that Mr. Buffett doesn't use any tax planning at all. He just pays
as the Internal Revenue Code requires. How can this be fair? he asked
of how little he pays relative to his employees. How can this be right?
"Even though I
agreed with him, I warned that whenever someone tried to raise the
issue, he or she was accused of fomenting class warfare.
"'There's class
warfare, all right,' Mr. Buffett said, 'but its my class, the rich
class, that's making war, and we're winning.'"

"Most of
the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal...
"Moreover,
if even a small fraction of the money we now spend on trying to enforce
drug prohibition were devoted to treatment and rehabilitation, in an
atmosphere of compassion not punishment, the reduction in drug usage
and in the harm done to the users could be dramatic.
"This plea
comes from the bottom of my heart. Every friend of freedom, and I know
you are one, must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the
United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with
casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the
liberty of citizens on slight evidence.
"Something important in the overall scheme of the American experiment
happened this week.
"On Monday morning, MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer appeared on cable television screens across the United States and announced: 'The news from Iraq is becoming grimmer every day. Over the long holiday weekend bombings killed more than 200 people in a Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad. And six Sunni men were doused with kerosene and burned alive. Shiite Muslims are the majority, but Sunnis like Saddam Hussein ruled that country until the war. Now, the battle between Shiites and Sunnis has created a civil war in Iraq. Beginning this morning, MSNBC will refer to the fighting in Iraq as a civil war - a phrase the White House continues to resist. But after careful thought, MSNBC and NBC News decided over the weekend, the terminology is appropriate, as armed militarized factions fight for their own political agendas. We'll have a lots more on the situation in Iraq and the decision to use the phrase, civil war.'
"The statement followed a similar decision by the Los Angeles Times to
drop the pretense of referring to the fighting in Iraq as something
other than the civil war it has obviously been for some time.
"What is important about this development is that, for the first time since the debate about Iraq began, some--though certainly not all--major media outlets in the United States are making their own judgments based on developments in the Middle East. Up until now, major media has, with few exceptions, failed to embrace that most basic of journalistic responsibilities. Rather, it has served as a stenography service for the Bush-Cheney administration. - John Nichols: News Flash: Major Media Begins to Think for Itself -
"This strange interlude at the White House, when Bush asked Webb about
his son in Iraq, Webb said he wants to bring the troops home, and Bush
barked: 'I didn't ask you that' says a lot about Bush and Webb.
"Jim Webb has vast
and enormous experience in military combat and military policy over the
decades. Why on earth didn't Bush pull him aside and ask his private
counsel? Not only does Webb know far more than Bush about real wars and
not only does Webb have an infinitely better record than Bush being
right about this war, but Webb probably could have given some serious
insight about what his son tells him from the ground.
"But the Decider has
already Decided.
"My guess is, what
JFK would have done, is invite Webb to the Oval Office, and while they
were sitting in the Oval Office would have called the son in real time
and asked: what the hell is going on over there? What do you think we
should do?
"But just like
McCain is no Webb, Bush is no JFK.
"A word to the
anonymous Democratic staff who said Webb would be 'a real pain'. Cool
it, pal. What the Senate needs are people like Webb who tell it
straight, call it true, go against the grain and are willing to violate
the code of what most Americans think is Sodom and Gomorrah on the
Potomac.

have used Jim Webb when the Iraq war was debated in 2002."

"Fresh thinking about what ails newspapers arrived in yesterday's (Nov.
29) Wall Street Journal, where staffer William M. Bulkeley
contributed a column titled 'The Internet Allows Consumers to Trim
Wasteful Purchases.' Bulkeley explains how the photographic film
industry, encyclopedia publishers, the music industry, and the
advertising industry feasted on buyers by forcing them to purchase
things they didn't want - prints of all 24 shots from their camera or a
whole album to secure one favorite song, for example. 'The business
models required customers to pay for detritus to get the good stuff,'
Bulkeley writes. But digital cameras, the Web, iTunes, and
search-related advertising have stripped those industries of their
power to charge for detritus.
"Bulkeley could have
easily applied the wisdom of his lesson more broadly to newspapers.
It's not that the complete gestalt of local, state, national, and
international news plus sports, comics, classified, opinion, and hints
on fashion, home, entertainment, and food isn't still useful. It is.
But given a choice, and the economic means to make a choice, many
buyers prefer to make an unbundled purchase.
Unbundling the news they want from the news they don't want is what the
Web allows readers to do now."

"AMORALITY: A
quality admired and rewarded in modern organizations, where it is
referred to through metaphors such as professionalism and efficiency...
Immorality is doing wrong of our own volition. Amorality is doing it
because a structure or an organization expects us to do it. Amorality
is thus worse than immorality because it involves denying our
responsibility and therefore our existence as anything more than an
animal."

"George Horvat, an exceptionally gifted inventor created a remarkable
system initially designed to assist his brother-in-law, a truck driver.
Additionally it would help lower highway accidents and deaths.
"Horvat called his
system the Traffic Speed Surveillance System (TS). It included roadway
monitor transceivers that would receive speed, vehicle identification
and driver information which would then be transmitted to a central
processing station for identifying speed limit violators. The system
also includes a vehicle disable feature which requires that the driver
and vehicle identification be entered to operate the vehicle...
"On May 9, 1986, two
years after filing with the patent office, Horvat finally received a
copy of the 'Issue Fee Receipt' which stated that 'the application will
be issued as U.S. Patent No. 4,591,823 on May 27, 1986' Horvat
felt protected. He followed the legal steps, paid the stipulated fees
and obtained a patent which protected his invention.
"On October 7, 2004,
an article appeared in World
Net Daily. 'A little-known federal agency is planning a new
monitoring program by which the government would track every car on the
road by using onboard transceivers.' The agency, the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint
Program Office,
is part of the Department of Transportation. According to an extensive
report in the Charlotte, N.C., Creative Loafing, the agency doesn't
respond to public inquiries about its activity...
"The very same year that Horvat's patent expired; the same Department
of Transportation that rejected his invention reveals their plans for
'their' system? The article also states that more than $4 billion in
federal tax dollars had already been spent in laying the foundation.
The article says that they had been working on the project for 13
years. Senator Kasten presented the DOT with all the plans, diagrams,
etc. in 1986. Horvat was told that traffic was a state responsibility.
The DOT plan includes transceivers or 'onboard units' that will
transmit data from each car to the system...
"Although the
federal government financed the development of the system, it would
require mega money to impose this 'Big Brother' tracking system
throughout the world. It is going to take - the international banking community.
"Once the system is brought to life, both the corporations, and the
government stands to reap billions in revenues. Companies plan to use
the technology to sell endless user services and upgrades to drivers.
For governments, tracking cars' movements means the ability to tax
drivers for their driving habits, and ultimately to use a punitive tax
system to control where they drive and when, a practice USDOT documents
predict will be common throughout the country by 2022."

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. |
