let the bullshit begin...

now that we're at war i can no longer listen to news being pumped in from npr. instead, i need to take my break from their diluted and highly mediated broadcast news on the war and listen to pacifica radio. i can't seem to buy into the propagandist "news flashes" on kcrw that warn us to "watch out for a short man named annan. he may be a suicide bomber, who was last spotted in florida in 2001." yeah... RIGHT! i suppose i'm supposed to recoil in the corner of my house underneath my saran-wrapped and duct taped windows in fear while praying that the U.S. and their mighty "international coalition"--consisting of ethiopia, the philippines and whoever else who got paid off to publicly sanction illegal war-- bomb the hell out "dem terrorists" in "eerack."

during the "gulf war I: daddy's battle," i was a high school student watching the blaze of american testosterone on cnn. now, i can only listen to the radio. it's enough to know and hear of the bullshit; do i have to see and smell it, too? well, garth. i know you tried your best last tuesday night (see: nevermind the comeback; continue the going," 3/18/03) to do just that, didn't you?

coming next... i swear: "r" tries to rejoin the "forever optimist" club.
