ATI Poll:
Clinton's Approval Ratings Climb to 138%
Matt Drudge says Hillary Beat Up Bill.
Corn is down 2 feet.
Acid is up around 2600
And the Dow does the YoYoDance.
"The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally
perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench
through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic
hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die
like dogs, for no good reason."
--Thompson, H.S. from
"Generation of Swine," p43
Brought to ATI's attention
by Christine O. (613)
"If the shameful acts of the Mexican political class are
merchandise for the powerful communications media, and whose
successful presentation is measured in "rating" points, for
the immense majority of those who struggle and die between
the Rio Bravo and the Suchiate, they are only a continuation
of the state crime which spans almost the entire century."
--Sup Marcos mid '98

--- OP ED ---
On VH-1 popup videos Tuesday, running in the Debbie Gibson
segment, rather than say that in '89 Mojo Nixon wrote a song
about Debbie, the writers chose to say "In 1989, a folksinger
wrote a song about Debbie called, Debbie Gibson is Pregnant
with my Two Headed Love-Child."
It is my opinion that General Electric's MTV 10-year-old
ban on Mojo Nixon has been taken to a terrible new level
which is practically an act of war.
I call on Mojo Nixon and all of his fans and supporters
to go ahead and begin verbally assaulting MTV/VH-1, NBC
and thereby Viacom and General Electric as an
act of self-defense for Mr. Mojo "a folksinger" Nixon.
Signed,
Marco Capelli

Stopping the warmongers nonviolently
by exposing their sociobiological
strategies is the key to anarchist revolution.

Marc,
Well I didn't mean to not respond to your justified
morale outrage. But a strange thing happened to me
when I got up that morning. I just didn't care.
It wasn't that bombing the shit out of innocent civilians
and not so innocent meglomaniacs doesn't impinge on my
tattered consciousness. Its just that I don't care.
I think I'm a victim. A victim of media overhype
and underhandedness. Where live shots from the nose
of a cruise missille are met with the same ho hum that
I watch the latest Dawn commercial.
I mean come on. The special effects are very lacking.
The resolution in low grade VHS, and the reporters have
absolutely no blood on them. Where's my damn Play Station
anyway. Get me another donut.
I don't know.
Its sad. It really is.
I think Saddam is a sadistic creep that wouldn't hesitate
to rip the arms off my kids while his soldiers raped my wife.
But all that said it just doesn't matter. He's there.
I'm here. Its a techno war and its more real then 'Nam and
therefore less real to me.
When my car blows up on the way to work one day I'll be shocked.
And if I survive I'll be pissed off. But then, I'll probably
care even less if things get back to normal quickly.
Ever see the movie Brazil and the random acts of terrorism???
You'll know what I mean.
Sorry Marco. I mean't to respond.
I just got tired....
...and that's what they're all counting on.

(and about our webpages... wink, wink...)
I look forward to seeing what you've done with this
in a couple of months, looks good so far. I will
definately link to soaw.org. I don't usually spend
so much time examining the links that people put on
their sites. yours I am looking at closely. When I
put some time into my site I may link to this one.
Mine became drudgery, I like the aproach you state here.
Thanks,
Kurt (206)

Otherwise send me a snail address and
I'll send you a sample issue.
Take care,

Everyone's an asshole. Especially me.
You hit it right on the nail there. I always carry around a copy of
"A Moment for the Dead" by Lance Morrow that appeared in TIME in 1991.
It was the most sensible thing I read about the Gulf War.
I get tired of the news. It's not fair, it's not right...it sickens me.
I always think of that escaped prisoner from Texas, how all we saw was
the police version of events, and news. And I thought, maybe that guy
has something to say that no one ever heard. And now the silence is
forever.

With a pebble and a ring. C

He knows more than you
'Cause he's up there, up there.
Have you been there
I been half way there
And then half way more
I could see there from there.

TERROR IN THE SKIES
[a song] From: DRovics@aol.com
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1998 12:23:56 EST
FWD please post far and wide
Night-time comes and everybody wonders
Will tomorrow bring the light of day
Will our house be rubble blown asunder
In the cellar we will hide ourselves and pray
Will the smoke clear in the morning?
Will the city all go down in flame?
Will the factory be standing?
Will life here ever be the same?
(chorus)
There's terror in the skies of this city
Fear is in the hearts of children, women and men
And you never see the faces of the killers
As the smart bombs fall again
Will there be a job for me to go to?
Will there be food upon my plate?
After many, many years of hungry sanctions
What did my child do to earn this fate? (chorus)
The Yankees talk of Gaza and of Algiers
They wring their hands when Irish shoppers die
But if you want to know a life of terror
Look up at night into the Baghdad sky (chorus)
HAPPY NU Y'EAR 2 U!

To Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In."
Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't sell this song.
Let me ride thru the wide open country that I love,
Don't sell this song.
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmer of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever
But I ask you please
Don't sell this song.
Just leave me 'lone
let me sit in front of TV without havin' t' hear your lies.
On my phone or my modem let me live without
a jingle... teasin' my eyes.
I wanna live life without violence to art
Go about my business without a cold soldout heart
Can't see good music used for verbal farts
Don't fence me in!
