Tell him only what he needs to know (in other words, what the spin doctors decide they want him to know.) It makes you wonder who really runs the show, although I guess none of us are so naive as to believe that the person that gets elected to the post is doing it all on his own. Too many times we've heard from top leaders: "I didn't know." But then again, are they kept so busy by their handlers that they're never allowed to read a newspaper, listen to the radio or watch the TV news?

At least we've earned that. Respect, Nuri Bob Muller wrote: Nothing wrong with BSN at all; in fact it may be one of a handful of "perfect" songs in terms of its structure. Three verses, each similar but each one building textually/emotionally to the next. A chorus that also varies and musically complements the sonics of the verse in flawless fashion. BECAUSE of its perfection as a popular song, many many many people did it who had no business doing it (or anything, for that matter). When a lame performer does anything, it'll be lame. If a lame cast did "Jakob the Liar" and their performance stunk, you wouldn't blame the script, would you? Bob NP: Death Cab For Cutie, "No Joy In Mudville" Tired of spam? Yahoo!

"Before his election, Nagin was a member of the Republican Partyand had little political experience; he was a vice president and general manager at Cox Communications, a cable communications company and subsidiary of Cox Enterprises . Nagin did give donations periodically to candidates, namely President George W. Bushand former Republican U.S. Representative Billy Tauzin in 1999 and 2000, as well as to Democratic U.S. Senators John Breaux and J. Bennett Johnston earlier in the decade." "Shortly after taking office, Nagin launched an anti-corruption campaign within city government, which included crackdowns on the city's Taxicab Bureau and Utilities Department. Nagin also made a controversial endorsement of current Republican U.S. Representative Bobby Jindalin the 2003 Louisiana Gubernatorial Runoff over current Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco , and only reluctantly endorsed U.S. Senator John Kerry in the 2004 Presidential race." And now (from the same source, which is admittedly disputed): "Both Nagin and Lousiana Governor Kathleen Blancohave quickly become targets for Republicans , looking to bouy [sic] failing support for George W Bushand his administration's widely criticized response , which left tens of thousands of Louisiana's poorest residents stranded without food or water for more than 4 days after Katrina had hit." Yep, Nagin is black and Blanco has a Spanish last name (her own or her husband's, doesn't matter does it?). Those damn brown people. It's all their fault. Or maybe it's the fault of the brown homos. Because that beacon of intelligence and hope in Washington DC, George W. Bush ... well, no responsibility for *anything* rests with him, ever. Right??

So, in the latter 70's, when Mingus was released, Joni used the phrase "rap" to define the moments when Mingus was just talking.

Hi to all and sorry I've been out-of-touch for a while. After hearing of the recent destruction in New Orleans, I remembered Michael Paz (who I met at the 2003 JoniFest) and that he lived in the affected area. Although I have been absent from the JMDL activities lately, I checked to see if there was any word of him and read his note from earlier in the week, describing the situation there. I am concerned for ALL the people who's lives have been shattered by the natural disaster, as well as the terrible response from the State and Federal governments (and our sorry excuse for a President), so I will be donating something to the overall relief efforts. However, I know the kind of person Michael Paz is, and all he's done to help other people, so I will be happy to also contribute to the fund that is earmarked for him and his family through the JMDL site.

Yes, like when someone wanted to talk with you, they might say, "Let's rap." Oh, the forgotten slang of yesteryear!
