46664
![]() 46664 was the prison number of Nelson Mandela on Robben Island, Cape Town where he was held in captivity for 18 years.
Nelson Mandela gave his prison number 46664 to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics in November of last year who then asked the late Joe Strummer to write lyrics for a song about 46664. Stewart then completed the song with Bono earlier this year for this campaign. 46664 The Concert will be broadcast on the internet live on Saturday, 29th November. Have questions about your Doctor?

Happy Thanksgiving!
My sister and Mother are coming over to our house for Thanksgiving Dinner. View Live Parade Cam in Times Square Sir Mick has defied calls for a tourism boycott of Burma to spend a long weekend there. The news of Sir Mick's visit will outrage British campaigners who have joined the international move to urge tourists to boycott Burma, which calls itself Myanmar. Bad call, Mick. Of all the places he could travel, he picks the one where the former government leaders have taken the new, and first time democratically elected president under seige since May. President Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is still being held captive by her country.

My computer no longer humms loudly. It's beginning to growl, too. So if I can catch it between growls, spurts and sputters, I'm going Extreme Blog Visiting. I miss you. Oh, yeah, Good Morning...!
My cable went out earlier so I unhooked it, tuned in generic tv and waited for the repair service. What I witnessed will be forever branded in my mind. Celine Dionne (sorry, Celine fans) was singing and dancing with some guy while playing air guitar. (Deep breaths, Susan.) So I flipped the channel only to see Kathie Lee Gifford extolling her virtuous marriage and perfect family ad naseum to thundering audience applause. I search the room to see if I'm on Punk'd or Candid Camera with people waiting for me to go ballistic. No, just Crappy TV. Where IS that damn cable guy?

My heartbeat quickens, my stomach churns, and my hands start shaking after all these years. I was 15 or 16 when the FBI came to question me at school one day. The principal turned over his office to us as I entered to see two intimidating suits waiting to grill me. "We've seen your bedroom 'curtains' and we'd like to talk to you about them."
Some friends and I had ripped off a truckload of flags the city used for Fourth of July parades. I had put curtain hooks in some and installed them on those pulley-type curtains you open and close. Two windows. Both visable from the street. Two Feds. Both taking a dim view of my cool curtains. I'm reminded of this stupid stunt when I see the NYT article about the FBI collecting info on anti-war activists and others they deem suspicious. Young people, especially trouble-makers like me, were being watched closely then. I've often wondered if J Edgar Hoover's FBI started a 'file' on me as a young instigator. I'm such a Susie SquareJohn now. ![]() Who Will Beat Bush? Play Who'll Beat Bush by how much for charity.

Let's Hear It For The Girls!
I suppose the Girls' Groups trend began with Jill Conner Brown's wildly successful book, Sweet Potato Queens. Now SPQ groups are cropping up all over the place. You'll recognize them by their big hair (the higher the hair, the closer to God), theatre makeup, huge bazooms, fishnet stockings, and heels so pointy they can kick a spider in the ass. Tiara optional.
![]() A totally different group of girls here in Asheville, NC, are The Rebelles. The Rebelles are a neo-burlesque group that write all original productions that have a political and sexual theme. Their first production "Through Sick and Sin" won Best Locally Produced Play and Best Local Show in the Mountain Xpress Best Of issue. They have also been featured in November issue of Curve, the best selling lesbian magazine in the US and Canada. "People love it when you combine sex, politics and pop culture," observed Rebelles founder Christine DiBenedetto.
Another girl group in Asheville, with trademark Pink hair, the Go Go Girlie Action, have a weblog detailing current functions where they're appearing with lots of photos.

She answers letters after her Falwell debate with MSNBC and after reading a piece on NPR's Morning Edition; both on the issue of gay marriage. Stumble It!

London is fired up about Bush's visit this week! Massive security is in place - 14,000 police headed by Scotland Yard and several hundred US Secret Service agents will be on duty for Bush's 4-day visit beginning Tuesday. Al-Jazeera reports security on alert for al-Qaida.
"With President George W. Bush due to touch down on British soil Tuesday, Internet message boards, mobile phones and pagers are buzzing with the sounds of protest, and police are scrambling to catch every word.
"I've just received word of a lead story in The Daily Mail tomorrow. The exclusion zones (which are now mobile and therefore harmless bubbles) will now involve mobile phone blackouts." {related links} Stop The War Anti-War Art Inymedia-UK - keep scrolling; there are updates and links of protest groups involved.

The Spitfurther Tour left Nov 13, with a Bus full of Pranksters, merry or otherwise, and Skypilotclub members that will go from Eugene to Portland to Ashland, to San Francisco, Mountain View, Sebastapol and to Berkeley leaving a wake of confused citizens, startled sheep, mooing cows, billy goats, rocky raccoons and Oregon Beavers. Ken Kesey passed in Nov 2001, and left unfinished works that are now completed and up for sale. Two new books will debut: Kesey's Jail Journal is an oversized, richly illustrated work that Kesey began in the late 1960's while serving time in the San Mateo County Jail. Also just out is Spit in the Ocean #7, a special tribute issue with contributions from Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe, Larry McMurtry, Gus Van Sant and others. I really love living in Asheville, NC, now, but it does seem like California gets all the good tours, entertainments, etc. And Portland and Seattle... the grass is always greener... and don't even get me started on how cool Canada is.

Lynching Private Jessica, The Sequel
She could have sat back, accepted all accolades, and watched the money roll in. Her heroic action was to reject the GI Jane media blitz, gather us 'round the television sets and expose the truth. How strange it must have felt for PFC Jessica Lynch recovering in a foreign hospital as a parade is planned to honor her as a hero. Community donations rebuilt her family home and enormous sums of money are offered in return for exclusive interviews. All because the media had been informed we had a genuine hero in the Iraq war. The US guv'mint thought they had a hillbilly they'd mold in their best "Bring it On" PR image the US would rally behind. And rally they did. Behind the story of her "emptying her gun" and "fighting to the end". They didn't count on this supporting player in their well-orchestrated ongoing war movie having any integrity. With George W Bush -Screenwriter; Don Rumsfeld - Director; and Her truth may not be selling books, and the once lucrative offers are now dwindling, but the integrity it took for her to 'do the right thing' is very honorable indeed. {beatnik literary} Bohemian Ink is one of those sites with many layers and links to explore.

This Is How We Cut & Paste or What I Did Today When I Should Have Been More Productive
The Great Cosmic Booty Call or Harmonic Convergence?
Happy Birthday to Joni Mitchell who's celebrating her 60th birthday today. I bought 'Clouds' when it came out in 1969 and began playing Chelsea Morning and Songs To Aging Children, and That Song About The Midway on my guitar for my friends. I haven't played those songs in forever. When I pick up the guitar later, I'll gonna try Songs.... I still remember people at school asking, "Have you heard 'Clouds' yet?" Soon after, we would see her at Woodstock. Next came 'Ladies Of The Canyon'. For Free was very poignant. And the rhythm of Rainy Night House persuaded me to keep writing poetry. I just realized that now. Music memories are sacred. They hold pieces of your very soul.

![]() The lighthearted moments were almost the highlights of the forum of the Democratic opponents last night on CNN's Rock The Vote. They answered the "PCs" or "Macs" question. And, perhaps more interesting, they answered who's smoked weed and who hasn't smoked weed. Oddly enough, all who've inhaled got major applause. Smoking pot is so much a part of the mainstream now that it's practically a non-issue.
Edwards, Dean and Kerry said they had used marijuana in the past. Sharpton, retired Gen. Wesley Clark, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio said they had not, Kucinich adding that using the drug should be decriminalized. Former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois declined to answer. [read transcript] ![]() The rest of the country is beginning to see what we here in North Carolina already know. That Senator John Edwards really does have a pair. He's not afraid to stand up to big business or big politics and is really one of the few that can prove he has the working person's interest at heart by his past reputation. And is you really want to "rile" up a Southerner, just start condescending to us. We're sick of being treated like the US red-headed step-children and stereotyped into gun-toting, Confederate flag waving, Nascar rootin' tootin' buffoons. The redneck species isn't indigenous to the South. If you've traveled the US extensively as I have, you know that species is abundantly populous in every state.
And as Al Sharpeton said, (this guy speaks in terrific sound bites) any one of the candidates would fair better than George Bush. And as I watched them all onstage last night, I realized that several of them really would do well to sit at the top seat in the country. I'm still undecided. I probably know more about John Edwards, since I'm also from North Carolina, and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he were our Democratic nominee. He doesn't have much experience in politics and that may be a big plus. I've tried to like Howard Dean, but can't stop thinking, "Physician, heal thyself of thy arrogance." Dennis Kucinich also is a good possibility, but two words for ya, Dennis-- "Don't Yell!" and Gephardt is somewhat appealing. John Kerry is almost reminiscent of Clinton with all his charm but went Ted Nugent on us all. And when he speaks, I want to say "Bullshit", "Bullshit". Wes Clark could better serve us all in Don Rumsfeld job, but I still want to hear more from him. Carol Mosely Braun, although quite articulate, could use a firecracker under her ass. Lieberman - too out of touch; lives in a bubble. Al Sharpeton - let's just make him ambassador to France. Labels: marijuana Stumble It!

Good morning to you. I'm glad you took a moment of your time to stop by.
{religion} Gay bishop is put on blacklist by Anglicans, or as I call it: Bishop to Right Wing religious Pawns. He's here. He's queer. Get used to it. Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay elected Episcopalian Bishop, I salute and admire you. How can true Christians be so opposed to another human being has always both disgusted and amused me.
{politics} The Democratic Presidential candidates Debate Tuesday night was interesting. Especially when Howard Dean was bitchslapped by Al Sharpeton right at the start. That was quite entertaining. I think he took offense to Dean sidestepping the question he was asked about his recent Confederate flag comment. Then Al got even more ramped up when Dean began his answer with: "Martin Luther King said it best when..." Sharpeton then volleyed: "I was with MLK back then; I didn't just read about him in books. It was a beautiful thing. I'm sure the Repubs were lovin' it. As long as the Dems will fight among themselves, they won't attack them. But I felt Dean's arrogance had to be addressed.

What Bush Won't Say and Blotter Acid Art. Both guaranteed to blow your mind.
If I Were Bush's Speechwriter By CBS News Correspondent Andy Rooney [click for video] "... I probably shouldn't have said Iraq had nuclear weapons. Our guys and the U.N. have looked under every bed in Iraq and can't find one." "In one speech, I told you Saddam Hussein tried to buy the makings of nuclear bombs from Africa. That was a mistake and I wish I hadn't said that. I get bad information sometimes just like you do..." "On May 1, I declared major combat was over and gave you the impression the war was over. I shouldn't have declared that. Since then, 215 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq. As the person who sent them there, how terrible do you think that makes me feel?" "...When I landed on the deck of the carrier, I wish they hadn't put up the sign saying MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. It isn't accomplished. Maybe it should have been MISSION IMPOSSIBLE." Lycaeum link seen on Ollapodrida. Due to recent cutbacks and until further notice, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. Stumble It!
