News: Anna Nicole Smith: Why do/should I even know her name?
When I first heard of Anna Nicole Smith, one of my father's friends was a junkie for her reality show. I heard about her on and off for the next few years until she finally died last month. Apparently, she married an old billionaire (apparently for his money), and one of his sons (some more than twice Smith's age) got angry at the fact that she got money and that they had been in court battles for more than ten years until her inevitable death. Ultimately, she gave birth to a son at the same time as one of her ex-husband's sons killed himself and months later, she died. Now there has been a lot of attention on who the father of the child may have been, whether it was the frozen remains of her dead husband, or her lawyer. On behalf of all the people who have had to suffer through this media circus, I must say, Why Should I care? The mystery of her child's father is not one which I care about, and if she didn't marry a billionaire, she'd probably only be of note as a Playmate, and her lawyer Howard K. Stern would only be some lawyer who wouldn't be remembered by as many people as know his name now.
Band name of the day: The Philippics. From a work by Demosthenes or Cicero.
Film Reviews of the Day: Taxi Driver- I finally watched the film after years of putting it off and I must say that it was a great film, although not as Salingeresque (read: similar to Catcher) as I had believed it would be from reading about it.
Get on the Bus- Several black men, including a father and son who have been handcuffed together for 3 days, an ex crip and cop, a gay republican couple, and a filmmaker, who happen to be complete strangers go onto a bus to the Million Man March. Interestingly, Farrakhan, despite being "The reason for the season" does not appear in the film except from the back in archival footage.
Quote of the Day: "You're Tellin' me Satan seduces the youth with dark rooms full of shiny stuff and the sound of 'Dook-Dook' repeating over speakers? Since When did Satan get into ferrets?"
_________Fred MAcIntire, something positive, 10/08/06
Link of the day: A strange clip from SNL.
New Tract: Set Free. Apparently Jack's Homage to Waiting for Godot, with Satan pulling people on leashes like Pozzo does to Lucky, and Jesus coming to cut the leash if and only if they accept his story. Why he doesn't just cut everybody's leashes as immediately as he can get to them I have no idea. No dialog except for the Bible verses in every panel.
