Sex Crimes
I think The Shield is the best drama on television.
That's mostly because The Sopranos
is off for at least another year, and West Wing
seems to be on hiatus (or cancelled outright)
until the country's lust-for-Bush erection goes down. I watched
the Shield pilot last night.
They (short version) are trying to find a kidnapped little girl,
so they tracked down some pervs.
Their first perv said, "They offered her to me, but I like them
13, 14, and this girl was only seven,
so I traded her to another perv for a 13-year old ...to
be named at a later date," like it was baseball.
They eventually found the little girl, (Hey, it's a TV show) and
she was as mentally flipped out as any
7-year old who was kidnapped and raped by some crazy, religiously-insane
Republican could be.
...and then it struck me.
I'm so old, I remember a TV movie starring Richard Creena (I liked
him) and it was the story of a
30-years-on-the-job homicide detective who was attacked by two
gay rapist thugs in the subway.
The movie was called "The Rape of Richard Beck,"
to let you know that the victim was a man.
(If I was FOX News, I'd give you the entire story blow by blow...)
Synopsis
Made for television, Broken Badge originally
aired as The Rape of Richard Beck. Richard Crenna
plays Beck, a hard-bitten cop who has little
patience for female rape victims. Then he himself is
sexually assaulted by two assailants. Crenna's
excellent performance notwithstanding, the teleplay
by James G. Hirsch is a bit simplistic,
drawn up along the lines of the old bromide "a conservative
is a liberal who's been mugged" Meredith
Baxter Birney is seen all too briefly as a rape counsellor.
The Rape of Richard Beck premiered on May
27, 1985, as an "ABC Theatre" presentation.
~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
I turned it off or stopped paying attention then, but I remember
he got all weirded out and had trouble
functioning and he was very afraid of sudden, little sounds etc
etc. It basically ruined him.
Why do I bring this up?
Since the B.F.E.E.'s "The World is Not Enough" world
tour has begun, Elizabeth Smart has
escaped the attention and sexual addiction of the FOX/Rush/Murdoch
sex attack machine.
(Take a breath, don't write to me about this next part...)
The "Party of family values" thought attacking this poor kidnap/rape
victim was a money maker.
But watching that Shield episode tonight, I realized
the story
forced the viewer into admitting that
raping a 13-year old was less repugnant than raping a
seven year old.
And then the late Richard Creena popped into my head.
He was this hard-bitten, street-smart Special Victim's Unit detective
who was sexually attacked,
and he had all kinds of problems coping with his feelings of
shame and guilt and Koresh knows what.
...but Elizabeth Smart should be investigated for her apparent
failure to overpower her religiously-insane
50-year old "husband" and his religiously-insane, ultra-dominated
wife?
Jesus Christ!!!
What is it abou the male competitive ego that forces them to stoop
to these depths?
...and I'm only addressing the Nazi bastards who already
have their multi-millions in the bank.
I know the Richard Crenna thing was a movie, but I fully believe
the movie's message that even the
hard-as-nails detective can't cope with this mind rattling crime,
so how is a 14-year old girl who was
kidnapped from her goddamn bed at knife-point in the middle of
the night supposed to map out a
logical and workable plan to get back home safely to her folks?
I think this is example #886 of how clear it is that the Republican
whores of talk radio would rather
make another dollar attacking a 14-year old rape victim than
addressing the crimes of the B.F.E.E.
Like our Commander in Thief, ...they claim to be Christians.
Y'know, I'm as anti-religious as an agnostic can get, but I can't
help but think if Jesus showed up,
he'd rather do a shot of tequila with Ol' Bart than with Dubya,
Rush or any of the rest of them.
I respect the legend of Jesus Christ a whole lot more than the
sons of bitches who make multi-millions
each year by claiming they talk to God and then offer to deliver
His message.
When I feel morally superior, something's really wrong here...
Rep.
Stark blasts Bush on Iraq war
Democrat says plan to bomb Baghdad is
'act of extreme terrorism'
Excerpt:
"Bush's message to the Iraqi people that their
day of liberation is near
is reminiscent of Vietnam when we destroyed
villages to liberate them.
He's telling the people of Iraq, 'Your
day of liberation is near. ...if you live.
As for Bush's warning that a terrorist
attack on the U.S. is possible.
If it happens, it's blood on Bush's hands."
That reminds me - back in the eighties,
an Iraqi jet launched a French Exocet
that hit the USS Stark, and
the resulting fire killed
37 American sailors.
Since Reagan and Bush were so tight with Saddam, they said "That's OK."

George Bush - catastrophe for the world
Excerpt:
"By almost any measure of civilised attainment,
the US leads the world by miles. You would think
that a country with such resources, and
such a field of talent, would be able to elect a leader of
the highest quality. Yet, what has happened?
At the end of all the primaries and party caucuses,
the speeches and the televised debates,
after a year or more of non-stop electioneering bustle,
who, out of that entire population of 300
million, emerges at the top of the heap?
George Bush... George Bush is a catastrophe
for the world."
How did this happen?
I'll tell you - read on.
Subject: MoDo the Dragoness
BC,
This is the part of MoDo's piece that chapped my ass--
"When I asked him during the 2000 campaign about
why he hadn't inherited his father's
phobia about the dreaded singular pronoun,
he laughed and self-deprecatingly replied,
"That's the difference between a Phi Beta
Kappa and a gentleman's C."
Ole Mo was way too busy making fun of Gore's
clothes, Love Canal, the internet,
sighing, makeup back then, to report on
something that should have been reported on.
Eric
Eric, I'm with you, Dude.
The press whores did everything they could to lie about Gore
and praise the idiot Governor
and now they want to act like, "How
could this have happened?"
After every debate, to a whore, they praised the stupid, non-answers
the governor mangled.
I expect Rush and FOX and the hundred right-wing pundits to praise
the Bush boy's performance,
but the worst of the "normal" pundits was Bob Schieffer, saying
he was so damn impressed with
Dubya's commanding knowledge and detail of foreign affairs, when
none at all was displayed.
Schieffer earned his paycheck that week.
Plus, there's something else that needs to be repeated again and again.
Bush was a part-time governor in Texas, working what, four months
a year?
All he did was cut ribbons at new shopping centers and execute
possibly innocent black men
whose lawyers were too drunk or sleepy to pay attention at their
trials.
He never was very smart, and didn't like coming to work, but then
he was given the presidency.
He didn't even have to try in the presidential contest, they
greased everything for him, like always.
The Republican primaries were a total sham, he never won a single
primary. At every primary,
Bush's "opponents" like Orrin Hatch would praise Bush
instead of debating him.
Let me provide one of my famous analogies:
Imagine it's the 2004 Olympics, and the B.F.E.E. wants
to win the heavyweight boxing gold medal.
So they go get Bush's stupider son and they decide he's going
to be the champion and win the gold.
But to get there, he has to be a better fighter than every heavyweight
in America.
How can they pull that off? They get every other American
boxer to take a dive
when they fight the "dominator" George Bush - and they get away
with that.
So Dim Son is determined to be the best heavyweight in America.
But the problem is - he's never been in a fight - ever.
He got to be the US gold medal hopeful without ever having faced
an opponent.
So now he's going to fight the giant Cuban for the gold medal
- his name is Trifillio Gore.
How in the world can Dim Son ever defeat the best heavyweight
boxer in the world?
The B.F.E.E. hacks in to the Olympic software and messes
up the voting tally.
Then the Olympics get flummoxed and they can't think of anything
else to do
so they turn it over to the judges that are in the B.F.E.E.'s
pockets.
And even though Dim Son was knocked down seven times in three
rounds,
the crooked judges decided Bush was the better boxer and they
award him the gold.
The Cubans are outraged because anyone with eyes knows that Bush
was beaten horribly
in that fight, but Gore didn't seem to really want the gold,
so he yawmed and said it would
be best for boxing to just let the crooked sham stand and that's
how George won his gold.
"But Bart," I can hear you asking. "Why would they go to that much trouble?"
Do you own a TV?
Look at what the illegal Bush regime is doing.
They've invaded Country Number One in the Middle East.
Some say Syria is next, some say Iran is next.
OF course, we're going to ignore North Korea's threat to hit our
west coast with nukes
because they don't have any oil that the B.F.E.E. can
steal. They're not a priority.
The B.F.E.E. is taking over the world, and this week's
invasion is an example to every other country.
If King George says he's coming, goddammit he's coming and your
country is going to lose.
The boxer who never won a single fight is now King of the World,
and nobody can stop him.
So the next questions that need to be asked are:
Will we have free and fair elections
in 2004?
Why can't we get any Democrats
to ask about those Diebold machines?
Don't the Democrats have
any
will to fight anymore?
Did the B.F.E.E. spend
all that money to steal for just four years?
Would evil men kill to remain
in control of the world's only superpower?
I'd enjoy seeing George the heavyweight champ fight a real opponent.
Do you like Elvis?
I got a real nice gift in the mail yesterday
- damn nice.
It's a copy of one of the concerts Led
Zellepin is releasing in May.
I've always been a later-Zeppelin fan, prefering
the Kashmir/Time of Dying/Carouselambra era
to the extended blues medleys, but there's
no denying the power of the early concerts.
This is from June 25 and 27th, 1972 in Los Angeles. Some people
say Zeppelin was
(I don't like ssaying were) at their peak, with Plant still hitting
all the high notes.
In the release you're going to hear in May, Zeppelin did one of
their best Elvis medleys.
The band was hot, and Page and Plant were out of control.
For their encore, they did one of those 25-minute versions of
Whole Lotta Love.
All of a sudden, Plant starts singing Elvis and they were off.
They started with
"Let's Have a Party," then they did Ricky Nelson's "Hello, Mary Lou."
The next song was so good, they named the bad-sounding bootleg
after it - "Heartbreak Hotel."
After that, they played, "Slow Down," by Larry Williams?
Do we know him?
Then "Millionaire Blues," and some songs I didn't recognize.
(I'm too young!)
But it keeps getting better. Next up was "Rock n Roll,"
which was still mostly a new song,
followed by "The Ocean," which hadn't even been recorded yet
and "Louie, Louie."
ha ha
Zeppelin doing "Louie, Louie" is something everyone should
hear.
Someday, I'll have a radio program :)
But the show keeps going - remember this is all just the encores
- with a little bit of
Sly's "Everyday People" that introduced "Thank You." To close
it up, they did
"Communication Breakdown," "Bring it on Home" and Eddie Cochran's
"Weekend."
This was real music - no dancing, no synthesizers, no "sampling,"
and believe it or not,
the band played their own instruments and the singer sang using
his own voice.
For me, some of the funnest parts are the mistakes - reminding
everyone that this
was a live performance, and the songs changed a little
every night. They didn't play the
same songs the same way to surgical precision every night - who
wants to hear that?
They really gave the crowd a show for their $4.50 ticket price.
Pause to do a shot of the Wildflowers Chinaco Anejo
- special batch.
I don't think I've done a shot of the wildflowers batch in months!
I wonder how it will taste?
Hold on...
ha ha
It was finer than frog hair.
It was finer than Shirley Manson - don't tell!
TM's trying to get Shirley to send me an
e-mail...
But damn, that is some fine tequila.
I am so sincerely glad that I ran into fine tequila.
If you're a longtime reader, you might remember the day.
Back around '98 or '99, I read a story in USA Today that Sammy
Hagar
(He owns Hagar Slacks) had some high-end tequila on the market.
At the time I was making $60-80K as a double agent (just like
on
Alias)
by taking money from Archer Daniels Midland, Bob Dole's trillion
dollar sugar-daddy..
I tested dozens of high-priced tequilas before I found the champ..
I really like Chinaco Anejo.
'We love the fireworks!'
I cannot believe it, they just said that on NBC!
Whoever the guy is reporting from Bagdad..
said that he talked to an Iraqi shop owner
after the last war and he told him that
after the first day of attacks that they (the Iraqis)
figured out how accurate our bombs were
and they were not afraid, they went up on
the roof-top to watch it.. because they
love the fireworks!!!
He said that on NBC news... If I didn't hear it myself would never have believed it!
So NBC will have their viewers believe ...
that your city being bombed to smithereens
is like going to a baseball game and watching
fireworks!
That is just incredible ... and disgusting!
Thanks
