A Poem For ManatusI finally finished it. This is a film I have edited together from three different silent movies from the late-Twenties and early-Thirties. I also chose the music....selections from "The Battle of Stalingrad" by Aram Khachaturian. It just seemed to fit.Anyway, I dedicate this to all the free-market freaks out there in the world.

That is correct. This is no joke....the Republicans must retain control of both the House and the Senate this coming fall. A Democratic victory will bring chaos and destruction on an unimaginable scale. The very future of the republic depends on the upcoming elections and the status quo must be defended at all costs. The reason? The reasons are many, but just this morning, I kept thinking about

I then climbed into my car and sputtered on to work like I always do.

According to the story, after every Quantas Airlines flight the pilots complete a a 'gripe sheet' report, which conveys to the ground crew engineers any mechanical problems on the aircraft during the flight.

My comrades and I had made photocopies of the following and were going to plaster them all over North Fresno during the 1991 Persian Gulf Massacre.

My favorite view of Fresno is when it fits neatly inside the driver's side mirror in my car. When those moments come, I am usually blazing down the highway on my way back to that blue state known as "The Bay Area."I should say that there could be no greater misnomer for California as when people call it a "Blue State."

As horrified as I was five years ago when the Republicans stole the Presidential election, putting a drooling, giggling frat boy in the Oval Office, all I could muster when confronted with this was to tell a Republican relative of mine, "Well, here's your shot. You control the government and the media and cannot complain about the Democrats messing anything up. Congratulations." In short, the

It's difficult to be a bon vivant these days. One would like to close his or her eyes and forget all the horrible things happening in the world. Perpetual sleep....ignorance....being shielded from all the cares of the world.

I continue to confuse those who have the misfortune to be standing close by when I roar like a lion about the sad state of affairs today. For example, I was on the public record a year ago for wanting the Giggling Chimp to remain president. When they stole the election, I felt alternating pangs of disgust and relief. Relief because I knew that Mr. Bush probably wanted deep, deep down inside that

I have to admit that along with Chunky Chicken sandwich spread and twinkies, the Olympic Games remain one of my guiltiest of pleasures. Ever since the Great Boycott of 1906 (or was it the Earthquake of 1980?), the games seem to have been falling into a deep hole of commercial and political muck; although one could make the case that things just weren't the same after they canned tug o' war as a
