ab-so-frickin'-loutely...

murray head as the original Judas was incredible...

I met Ted Neely after a show when he was on tour a couple years ago.   He's exactly like you would expect a guy playing Christ to be.  It was kinda funny... he would just hug people and talk to them and had just a mellow calming voice.  Now of course.. int he same show I saw Dennis DeYoung of STYX play Pontious Pilate and that rocked!!!

Judas or Christ was a role I always dreamed of playing...

Stop it.. you're drifting my thread too far away from politics.. Now I have to tie in somehow.. hmmm... ok:

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they believe in God (by eight percentage points), in heaven (by 10 points), in hell (by 15 points), and considerably more likely to believe in the devil (by 17 points). Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say they believe in reincarnation (by 14 percentage points), in astrology (by 14 points), in ghosts (by eight points) and UFOs (by five points).

Way to go Dems... (walk slowly away from Andrew without making any sudden movements)

The No WMD found argument holds no weight with me. ANYONE with 1/2 a brain can understand David Kay's preliminary report on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction implications and what it says:

We have discovered dozens of WMD-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations during the inspections that began in late 2002. The discovery of these deliberate concealment efforts have come about both through the admissions of Iraqi scientists and officials concerning information they deliberately withheld and through physical evidence of equipment and activities that ISG [Iraq Survey Group] has discovered that should have been declared to the UN. . . .

Let me just give you a few examples of these concealment efforts . . .:

A clandestine network of laboratories and safehouses within the Iraqi Intelligence Service that contained equipment subject to UN monitoring and suitable for continuing CBW [chemical and biological weapons] research.

A prison laboratory complex, possibly used in human testing of BW agents, that Iraqi officials working to prepare for UN inspections were explicitly ordered not to declare to the UN.

Reference strains of biological organisms concealed in a scientist's home, one of which can be used to produce biological weapons.

New research on BW-applicable agents, Brucella and Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), and continuing work on ricin and aflatoxin were not declared to the UN.

Documents and equipment, hidden in scientists' homes, that would have been useful in resuming uranium enrichment by centrifuge and electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS).

A line of UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] not fully declared at an undeclared production facility and an admission that they had tested one of their declared UAVs out to a range of 500 km, 350 km beyond the permissible limit.

Continuing covert capability to manufacture fuel propellant useful only for prohibited SCUD variant missiles, a capability that was maintained at least until the end of 2001 and that cooperating Iraqi scientists have said they were told to conceal from the UN.

Plans and advanced design work for new long-range missiles with ranges up to at least 1000 km--well beyond the 150 km range limit imposed by the UN. Missiles of a 1000 km range would have allowed Iraq to threaten targets through out the Middle East, including Ankara, Cairo, and Abu Dhabi.

Clandestine attempts between late-1999 and 2002 to obtain from North Korea technology related to 1,300 km range ballistic missiles--probably the No Dong--300 km range anti-ship cruise missiles, and other prohibited military equipment.

In addition to the discovery of extensive concealment efforts we have been faced with a systematic sanitization of documentary and computer evidence in a wide range of offices, laboratories, and companies suspected of WMD work. The pattern of these efforts to erase evidence--hard drives destroyed, specific files burned, equipment cleaned of all traces of use--are ones of deliberate, rather than random, acts.

Completely Off-Topic / On second thought, let's not go to North Korea..

« on: October 12, 2003, 07:16:15 am »

it 'tis a silly place...

Wow...  hate the American government.. love the American government...  but be aboslutely thankful you don't live in North Korea.  I mean we may talk about countries we don't like, and try to tell them to stop building nuclear weapons, and attempt diplomatic resolutions, etc...

North Korea still creates propaganda videos to brainwash their people. Here are two.  One called "Fucking USA" to make the North Koreans hate the US.  and one to convince the Norht Korean people that their president is actially a god, sent from heaven with mighty power!!!  (o_O)  umm.. yeah.. ok..  yep.. scary folks.. this stuff still goes on in communist and other dictatorial controlled countries..

The Austin American-Statesman features an op-ed by Sgt. Nathan Todd, an Army reservist who served in the Balkans:

After I returned from Bosnia, I visited the "museum" at Dachau. I saw the rebuilt barracks and new barbed wire, the meticulously restored crematoria and killing grounds. I knelt there in a field that had been used to dump the ashes of the victims of the Holocaust, and lit a candle for the souls who suffered there. I cried and prayed there, remembering what had been done, and thought upon the words "never again." Somehow the thought of it made me cry more, because I couldn't stop thinking about how long it took us to decide to stop the madness in Bosnia. How no one even tried to stop the killings in Cambodia, Kurdish Iraq and the Sudan. How we walked away from Somalia after the tragic sacrifice of American soldiers fighting to build a better world. It occurred to me how much we have forgotten and how empty those brave words had become.

We cannot save the world by ourselves. We cannot stop all the genocides and massacres. We cannot make sure that "never again" becomes a fulfilled promise rather than a hope. But we can return a little meaning to those words, stop some killings and end some suffering. I hope we do, and I would be proud to serve again in Iraq to do so.

This ought to be required reading for those who, for political or ideological purposes, seek to disparage America's moral triumph in liberating Iraq.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa Carlton : The New American Goth

My personal wish for your music is that you take more from classical than rock.  They were the REAL masters, not some of this modern music, yes even neil , and certainly not those people under 30 you talk about who need to read a book.

AMEN!!

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa Carlton : The New American Goth

« on: October 07, 2003, 03:34:17 pm »

Though I happen to enjoy the "goth" look... and some of the music involved...  to be perfectly honest with you, I don't think Vanessa wouldn't know goth if it bit her in the ass.

personally, I think she's starting to sound more dumb with each interview...  Ohh look at me I'm a Wiccan.. I'm soo dark and morbid i must be Goth... but tee hee hee I've been able to kind of just merge the Wicca and the Eighties chick...  I think she is losing her personal identity, her musical identity.. and if she doesn't get a grip fast, this album will flop louder than a fish out of water
