:: {Tuesday Morning Webtrail}

May 4, 1970 - Four Dead In Ohio - Kent State Massacre. Today is the 34th annual Commemoration events with William Rivers Pitt the Keynote speaker this afternoon. [link]



::Torture At Abu Ghraib - A "do not miss" piece in the New Yorker by Seymour Hersh about the tortured and abused Iraqi soldiers. [link]; and another link of those revolting photos for the many website visitors coming by in search of it. I'm so heartsick over their treatment and humiliation that I want to rise up against the US. How do you think the other inhabitants of the planet feel about us?



:: Paul Krassner - Gadfly of the ’60s still buzzing sounds off on Bush, Nixon and Clay Aiken. [link]



:: Love Parade and Fuck Parade - both held in Berlin; Fuck Parade is on July 5 , Love Parade is July 10. The grassroots Fuck Parade was born in 1997, in Berlin, as a counter-demonstration to the commercialization of the Love Parade and to the creeping gentrification of the neighborhoods around the center of East Berlin. I'd like to see them both.[link]



:: Mondo Man's New Millenium - [link]



:: Keith Richards, Rickie Lee Jones, Ben Harper, Jerry Lee Lewis, along with several other music notables will toast Willie Nelson's 71st birthday by performing at a concert Wednesday in Los Angeles. The USA network is expected to air the event, titled Outlaws and Angels, on May 31. [link]



:: Jagger sings for Alfie. Mick Jagger and the Eurhythmics' Dave Stewart have collaborated on three new songs and the theme music for an upcoming remake of the classic 1966 film Alfie, which stars Jude Law. [link]

Registering Women For Draft?

"In line with today's needs, the Selective Service System's structure, programs and activities should be re-engineered toward maintaining a national inventory of American men and, for the first time, women, ages 18 through 34, with an added focus on identifying individuals with critical skills," the agency said in a Feb. 11, 2003, proposal presented to senior Pentagon officials.



This isn't Henny Penny "Sky is falling" shit. Several months back the national Selective Service offices were notified to begin staffing procedures. What does that tell you? It tells me it's soon going to be "head for the border", or "let's all do the CO shuffle". [more...]; via~[thememoryhole]

Several people were transported to hospitals as temperatures soared into the 100s. And if anyone's there at all, you gotta know that Rhonda is.

A Peace Vigil was held last night outside WLOS television studios at 11:00 in Biltmore Park here in Asheville, NC. 3 area soldiers' names were read aloud followed by 700 more who lost their lives in Iraq in response to WLOS's decision not to air Niteline.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Rival Fox Carolina Channel aired the Koppel show live last night. The Greenville, S.C.-based station decided Friday afternoon to ask ABC News headquarters if they could run "Nightline." That question had executives there doing cartwheels, said Stan Crumley, vice president and general manager of Fox Carolina. He said his decision to air the program was not motivated by politics and said it was unconscionable that the names of soldiers killed in Iraq might not be read over free broadcast airways.



Think about that a moment. Fox called ABC to see if they could go live with their Koppel piece last night. And did.

:: Does Shoe Size = Penis Size?

(Right this way, Bigfoot.) See Graph on this [link]. One formula is: (Shoe Size + 5) / 2. So (shoe size 11 plus 5) = 16; and divided by 2 = 8 inches. I stopped my personal survey sometime after my last marriage, so you think this is pretty accurate?



:: PEACE IN THE STREETS by Tom Hayden

The war on gangs has resulted in a body count of 25,000 people nationwide in the past two decades. We need to drastically change our approach to inner-city youth and gangs; we need a peace movement against the war on gangs and the war on drugs. [link]



:: Beltane is here already. May 1, can you believe it?



:: Jen talks about FeedSweep, that helps you build a custom news feed.



:: Photos of Iraqi's being abused by US personnel. From 60 Minutes program. Most disgusting of all is the smirk on the US personnel's faces while giving the thumbs up to the camera in front of Iraqis. Sick fucks. [link]
