    In the New York Times for June 13th, the Pentagon proclaimed that Afghanistan holds almost one trillion lira - no, sorry, that's one trillion dollars - in hitherto-unknown mineral wealth. Allow me to offer these revelations: (1) Paris Hilton actually is Albert Einstein, with a wig. Think about it - you've never seen them together, have you? (2) The Moon is made of green cheese. Specifically, a lovely Camembert, slightly fruity, that goes very well with cabernet. (3) While you were at work today, someone broke into your house, stole everything, and replaced it with an exact duplicate (apologies to Steven Wright). $1 trillion dollars in mineral wealth in Afghanistan. What a lame excuse for a lame excuse. But the interesting thing is that the Pentagon felt it necessary to serve up this fevered imagining. Why? Because they say that they need another $33 billion for the war by July 4th, or, or, or, I don't know - they just say that they need it. And for once, Congress isn't falling all over itself to give the generals whatever they want. So get ready to hear about lithium in Afghanistan, oil in Iraq, and diamonds in your bathtub. With 14 million Americans out of work, support for endless war is crumbling. People want an America that is #1 in health, #1 in education, #1 in quality of life, not #1 in number of foreign countries occupied. Send an e-mail to your Member of Congress. Ask him or her to oppose the "emergency supplemental" for more and more war. Hope. Change. How about some peace, for a change? Courage

    Hey now Boulder Heads
    Here is a little something to do this month - The Grateful Dead was one of the most prolific bands in American history, and they left behind an artistic legacy that exceeds their extensive musical output. Drop by PosterScene, 1138 13th St., 303-527-2701, after 9 a.m. to take a look at their Grateful Dead Poster Art Show. There will be concert posters, handbills, photos and more to look at and purchase. This is a great opportunity to commemorate your favorite Dead concert. This event will be happening throughout June and it is open to the public.

    It didn't appear that the actors were at all drunk and it was an unusual way of presenting a rivalry of scientific peers 100 years ago. Who would have though? Tesla was an electric Jesus and Edison was his own evil twin. (Whoa, I'm freaking myself out here)

    I love the way the actors do their lines too, in this "Drunk History" to the cadence of the drunken narrator. I've always liked John C. Rilley ("Walk Hard" is awesome) but this propells him to a new level for me. And I was once a regular contributor over on rottentomatoes.com where a few of us talked of the possibility of a new bio for Ole' Nikola and someone mentioned Crispin Glover (if memory serves - which it doesn't more times than not anymore) playing a part of one kind or other. I would have loved a more legit version of a Tesla bio but in some ways I think this 5+ minute video is perfect.

    Grtud - tapped into this just recently too. The 17yr olds were laughing their asses off and I was curious. Man, I love how the actors mouth the drunk narrator's words. This is my fave so far, though I like the Cera Alexander Hamilton as well. Franklin is too graphic for me! "I'm inventing electricity, and you look like an asshole!"

'Toast on the Way' As you wait Oh the crust is bursting in flames my finger in pain Like a fool I was sure, no fork!, it's a shame Browned just right, jam spread out jumps like a kite Srings up right, can't fit in the bun Don't jam that bun It can't fit like a bagel in heat, I sigh with defeat What is the loss there are crumbs on the floor, they will get tossed Burn everything Without toast day to day, we can't bing I will play, day by day Anyway, lox, bagel, honey Grinning with glee I burnt toast all morning though yearning to pee Toast on the way Well I know only this, I've got mine today Don't go away 'Cause I spread what I spread and I like it that way I will spread, one more day Just instead, honey for you Making it too... Without toast on the plate breakfast's too few ( -; love&peace.

Love the Python, Badger! When I was a youngin' in Boy Scouts, we had an assistant Scoutmaster who always brought Spam on camping trips. He quickly became known as "Spam" in our scout troop. And his son, also in our troop? Well, yes of course, "Son of Spam."
