Happy Olde Year. the Special SONG and DANCE Issue. 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 (PAP)(PAP)(PAP)(PAP) pRImEaNArcHIstWORLDnewz is a PAP production. --- 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.

Howard (617) 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. Don (617) --- --- --- (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.

I have a web page if you wanna check out some of my stuff: http://home.earthlink.net/~linknull Otherwise send me a snail address and I'll send you a sample issue. Take care, Jeff (202) 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. C. (613) Marco: goot one!! Dee ATI: Thanks for passing it my way. Enjoyed your sight and your group as well...

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! Today is /\ Day /-3\ of \ / 1999 \/ !!! /\-----/ when myth's all u got PARODY TIME /ending/ /----\-/ 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!
