~ well, the postwoman delivered to our mailbox evidence as to why dr. dean did not get enough votes in wisconsin to carry on his campaign for the nomination/presidency. maybe if this ‘letter for dean’ had reached the recipient, the election would have gone another way. as it is, we will now have to scratch out ‘dean’ and replace it with ‘nader’ before sending it out again.

~ if any of our readers know Fresnel Lucien from port-au-prince, haiti, please get in touch; we would like to send him a copy of ‘the red dragon’, as well as a few other texts that he may find more rewarding to read.

~ there is a new design up at one of ralph nader’s websites.

~ those interested in our most recent work should take a look at the latest addition to the work.group project.

we would like a new server; anyone with extra hardware that they would like to donate should get in touch.

~ some images have been added to the louisiana section of the u.s.a. scene report. furthermore, the map has been made ‘clickable’, in order to help those who do not understand the iso abbreviations.

~ possible topic for xyz article #2:
when drinking vanilla soy milk that has spoiled in the mississippi sun, one detects a minty flavor.

~ in random order, here are some of the dumbest things we have heard today:

1) senator zell miller continuing his toadyism by introducing george w bush at a $2000/plate fund raiser and endorsing him as a presidential candidate

2) israel hiring palestinian laborers to build israel’s ‘security wall’

3) george w. bush declaring that he needed faith in his god to help him stop his (gwb’s) alcohol abuse

4) the cattle industry feeds blood, instead of cow’s milk, to calves
4b) instead, humans are drinking cow’s milk(?)

5) coretta scott king holding hands with george w. bush

~ there must not be much going on in the world today, as npr [w] found some time during the morning edition news show to inform the nation that new york city has a nice restaurant!

~ there have been some updates to the u.s.a. scene report, namely to the states in dixie.

if you take a dog to the park, consider your behavior when you arrive; you should find that there is a good chance that you are being a complete asshole. if you have not noticed this to be the case, it is because you are ignorant, as well.

~ when you bike westward from the norfolk southern overpass on ponce de leon, you pass a number of advertising structures, two (2) of which are contracted by the fast food corporation, mcdonald’s, for their pepsi-inspired ‘i’m lovin’ it’ campaign. on a billboard above a restaurant – not a mcdonald’s – there is a depiction of an apparently white (non-latina caucasian) woman laying with two children on what seems to be a pleasure boat or dock; at the intersection with monroe/boulevard, there is a bus stop containing poster with the image of a black (african-american) couple riding what appears to be a subway train. despite the use of the myth that all white people have happy families and yachts, and the possibility of mcdonald’s placing the ‘black’ ad by the bus because they assume that most of the bus riders (viewing the ad) will be black and any couple riding the train (in the ad) will be black notwithstanding, we state with an experienced certainty that no one, of any race, anywhere, rides the subway and thinks to him/herself, ‘i’m ‘lovin it’.

we would have liked to see the first americans arriving in brazil be informed that they were to be fingerprinted and photographed.

~ anyone wishing to fund a six (6) month project of research into the amount of time that transpires between uses of the phrase ‘on the ground’ on national public radio should contact the angry red planet. if ‘arab is the new black’, then ‘on the ground’ is the new ‘kalashnikov’.

~ congratulations to lenny bruce. fuck!
