Single What? Female...

Doctors, Generals and Mermaids

The cover of Newsday here has a picture of Donald Rumsfeld looking like he's just about to say about to say "F***!" And I have a feeling that after the report in the NY Times and other papers about how doctors-giving advice about raising stress levels etc-aided interrogators at Abu Ghraib (among other places), the Administration may be feeling the same way...

Doesn't help to hear, contrary to Dick Cheney's comment about the insurgency being in its "last throes", the head guy in Iraq, General John Abizaid saying that the insurency's "overall strength is about the same"...*Dick Cheney was later heard on CNN to growl through clenched teeth "If you look at what the dictionary says about throes, it can still be a violent period," I'm gonna throttle that guy, I tell ya. He's not sticking... with... the script...fucker...oh wait was that on the air?*

And speaking of the war, I'm sure you've been hearing for some time about how, as part of "No Child Left Behind" there was this little provision that asks schools to provide student information to the Pentagon...And schools supposedly HAVE to tell parents that they can ask that their child NOT be called about recruitment...but not all are doing it...if you have a child in this age range, or know of someone who does who does NOT know about this fiasco, you might want to pass this on to them...

And speaking of passing things on...I realized that Fox News and Bill O'Reilly's site do NOT have mailing addresses avaialable on them which, when trying to send a pacifier to Bill may be difficult. Well, if you hand't dug it up already, the mailing address for Fox News Headquarters here in NYC is:

Bill O' Reilly
c/o Fox News
1211 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036

Yeah I plan on getting a pacifier out to him this weekend :)

And just could use some good news...All the e-mailing and nagging appears to have worked as PBS will NOT get a cut in funding!! YEE HA!

And also, if you find yourself at Coney Island tomorrow afternoon, check out the Mermaid Parade!! And look for the Valkyrie Mermaids (spears and all) woo hoo!

All right, it is a summer Friday and I am leaving earlier than usual for an audition but as you try to get the "Kill De Wabbit" theme out of your head, KEEP E-MAILING!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, the press and your Congressfolk. It worked for PBS and apparently is making the White House twitch, so keep it up and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!!! and pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
