Anyone see Politically Incorrect when Bill Maher disagreed with Bush calling the 9/11 terrorists "cowardly"? Apparently (I didn't see the show), Maher said: "Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." He went on to say that firing cruise missiles from hundreds of miles away -- as the US did in the Sudan following the attacks on US Embassies in Africa in 1998 -- was "cowardly," not the actions of the terrorists: "We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly." The show has been in the middle of a shit storm since then, with advertisers pulling out, complaints mailed, faxed, emailed to the producers and, now, Bush's press secretary, Ari Fleisher weighs in: "It's a terrible thing to say, and it unfortunate. ... There are reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they do, and this is not a time for remarks like that; there never is." Maher, as usual, seems not to have thought this through very well, but I cannot disagree with the basic premise that the terrorists who actually boarded the flights were not "cowards" -- their handlers and the mastermind (bin Laden or whomever it turns out to be) are "cowards" for attacking civilians and then fleeing -- but, while evil and deluded, I can't see how you call a person who is willing to die like that a "coward." I definitely disagree with calling the US cowardly for using cruise missiles -- what, would it be better to use ground troops, and have some of them get killed, so people like Maher feel macho? -- but why is the White House saying "there never is . . . a time for remarks like that"? ============================================================================This e-mail message and any attached files are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) named above.

First, I'm not sure there's any evidence a "handler" or "mastermind" even exists. And I don't know if I'd call them cowardly under the circumstances. But I definitely agree that the people who hijacked the planes were not cowards at all. > I definitely disagree with calling the US cowardly for using cruise > missiles -- what, would it be better to use ground troops, and have > some of them get killed, so people like Maher feel macho? But that's EXACTLY why it's cowardly. We're willing to destroy thousands of lives and much more likely innocent civilians because we're afraid of getting a couple of our soldiers killed. A ground strike on the pharmaceutical factory would have been more effective. It would have become clear to the commanding officers that it was nothing more than a pharma factory and wasn't building weapons and either way the facility could have been taken offline without killing EVERYONE inside (including janitors, administration staff, and people bringing lunch to their spouses, children, and parents). No, we blow the whole fucking thing sky high and kill hundreds of innocents because we're afraid of losing a couple of soldiers. That's cowardly by definition. > -- but why is the White House saying "there never is . . . a time for > remarks like that"? The White House doesn't believe there is ever a time for questioning the actions of the White House, the State Department, or the Pentagon. And they'd LOVE to make political speech they find unfavorable taboo for television.

While I can't remember if it was the O'Reilly Factor or Hannity and Combs, but they had pitched an liberal congressman (Vermont?) against a retired general. Interesting stuff on the rights of free speech and association in the light of what's happened. Why would the White House claim "there never is . . . a time for remarks like that?" They're a bit sensitive towards Anti-American sentiment right now. Goes along the same lines of the gov't being a bit pissed with the Voice of America running their recent story on Afghanistan and with networks showing footage of celebrating Islamics after the bombings. > -----Original Message----- > From: Poole, R.

Edward: >I agree with you about Spiritualized... I don't get it at all. The whole Spiritualized catalog, or just the new album? I like the album a little better, after hearing all of it. A couple of the best tracks were yet to come, when I previously posted partway through the disc. Still, I rarely get the usual Spiritualized "tingle," except in the first section of "Don't Just Do Something" and in the second section of the 11-minute "Won't Get to Heaven." It's like the album is trying to stress Jason Pierce as a songwriter with a point of view, when his true strength is arranging and production. And "On Fire," "Do It All Over Again" and "The Twelve Steps" just aren't all different from the standard-issue Britrock of Oasis, Manic Street Preachers, etc. >Haven't >checked out Kingsbury Manx -- though I fear the PF reference (not that I >don't like early Floyd, I do, but bands that get tagged with that one >generally disappoint me.

"song" oriented, with lyrics and choruses and stuff, or are they more >directed towards "sonic landscapes" and instrumentals? I would say they're "song-oriented," but the songs don't necessarily follow traditional verse/chorus structures. The music is mostly about contrapuntal guitar picking and underlying harmony, though there's some organ, flute and violin too. If you want comparisons to *specific* Pink Floyd songs (after all, Floyd's catalog is quite varied), I would point to early tracks like "Grantchester Meadows," "If," "Fat Old Sun," "A Pillow of Winds" and "Wot's...Uh the Deal." You know, the pastoral, folkie stuff. The vocals really sound a *lot* like the young David Gilmour -- in range, timbre and production style.

The four-hour concert, scheduled for Oct. 20 at Madison Square Garden, will be broadcast live on VH1 and simulcast on radio stations across the country, VH1 said in a statement. AOL will also provide a live Webcast. A phone number will be featured so viewers and listeners can make a donation. All the money will go to aid the victims of the attacks and their families, said the network. Among the performers lined up for the concert include Bon Jovi, the Goo Goo Dolls, India.Arie, The Who, James Taylor, and Melissa Etheridge. Jim Carrey, John Cusack and Jerry Seinfeld have also agreed to participate, the network said.

Currently, the design for the set is been finished by Mike Innes, who worked on Bill's 'What Now, What Next' & 'Atom Shop' projects. A release date and definite price will be given out shortly, along with the actual contents of the set. Maybe as early as next week. At that stage we will be taking pre-orders and there will be a introductory price lower than the price that will actually be quoted on the website as a thank-you to all the fans of this site who order early and have waited patiently for the release. What I can say now is that the set will contain the 6 cds of over 120 songs, most of which have never been released, and a 128 page companion booklet! I don't think that there has ever been so much released material by Bill in one set! It will be without doubt the most collectable item that Bill has ever released! Currently i'm looking at a introductory price of between # 60.00 UK Pounds(around $ 89.00 US) - # 70.00 (around $ 103.00) per set (this may change if the costs go up anymore but i don't think they will). Postage not included. I feel this is good value for money because as you can imagine the costs for such an ambitious project are extremely high to say the least! By keeping it well below # 100.00 I feel that it gives more fans a chance of obtaining such a highly desirable item. I have also checked out other sets here in the UK by groups such as Led Zeppelin and the price does compare favourably. Also, bear in mind, Noise Candy will be extremely limited. I'm looking of a release date of around mid-November to start of December. A definite release date will be given as soon as I know it. Noise Candy will be on a first come first served basis so it you want to reserve it please e-mail Please state quantity required and country to which you want the set sent. I will then e-mail you in the next couple of weeks with all the details for ordering. Thanks, Paul @ Lenin Imports __________ My solution to the Microsoft problem?

That's because Bill Nelson's sense of self-editing is roughly equivalent to that of Martin Short's Irving Cohen character and that hobo bluesman on "In Living Colour" who used to say "Wrote a song about it -- wanna hear it? Here's how it go." I used to have about a dozen Bill Nelson tapes on the sadly deceased Enigma label. About 90% of those "compositions" sounded like they took a half-hour to write and record. Nelson must be just *ecstatic* that he has fans who regard any trivial squiggle as a coveted treasure. What a racket he has going. The Bjork album is growing on me.
