:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 3.12.2003 ::
:: ROLLINS! ::
I found the following Henry Rollins quotes at Curlio.com:
In a recent phone conversation with Henry Rollins, the punk rock comic (or "spoken word artist" if you prefer) brings up U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
"Some of the sound bites this guy comes up with are just hilarious," Rollins says, "like 'going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without an accordion.' I mean, come on! They call him the shock jock of foreign diplomacy. It's hilarious how this guy is so crass. He is funny. It's gallows humour ... I've often said I wanna open for him when he finally gets to the Sands in Vegas."
AND...
"A woman like Janeane Garofalo is very articulate. She can hold her own. But when you see people like Sheryl Crow on the American Music Awards with a T-shirt that says 'war is bad karma ... like, hey, man, war is, like, bad karma.' Lady, shut up! It's life and death here. It's not bad karma. If you're going to come across as something, have a little bit more wallop to your walk than just saying, 'gosh, it's bad karma.' So some of these people set themselves up to be eviscerated."
