Time	Event
1:15a	Has The Server Been Found? For about the last five days or so, the Vast Right Wing that is always conspiring against me has been working overtime, attacking the Internet. Mostly by kidnapping servers. I know this because Firefox tells me every time: Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.youtube.com. * Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. -------------------------------------------- ((The line is for Domi because she still can't tell when the quoted sections stop and the point where its' me again)) Yeah, that's what I've mostly been seeing for the last week or so whenever I tried to do anything online. Except for when I'd click on something and just see the little thing going round and round...and I am sure glad that I spent all that money on a new computer with VISTA because I was getting so bored looking at that stupid hourglass. And now it looks as though it might be over. That the forces of Niceness have won this battle with the forces of Evil. And that's good, because I was getting tired of not being able to do much of anything on the Internet. It also gives me the chance to illustrate another point. That point is the fact that David Duchovny is not the only super star celebrity with powerful otherworld connections. Not that we didn't already know that but we have lots more hard evidence for it now. And if you're still a skeptic, this is going to shake you to your very unwilling to believe core: Except for the brief periods when I had no Internet at all, there was never a time when I had problems the Coast To Coast web site. That's right, it always worked when nothing else would. When sites like Google, Myspace, Youtube and MSNBC would either not work at all or would work but so slowly that they might as well have not worked at all, the Coast web site worked fine and was just as fast as ever. So we are forced to conclude that the Vast Right Wing that has no fear of me at all...in fact, they only seem to have contempt and scorn for me...are deathly afraid of Mr. Bell. And I tried to get even more proof of this yesterday, when I paid the StreamLink Tax but I was unsuccessful. If you're a subscriber to StreamLink, you know what I'm talking about but if you're not, I suppose I should explain it to you. Every Tuesday afternoon, these eight really big guys in black suits show up at my house to collect the StramLink Tax. And when I explain that I don't have a spare eight million dollars at the moment to pay the tax, they shrug and press a button on the little black boxes they carry that look like TV remotes. And then, instantly, I'm in a driveway in Pahrump, in front of a very big and very dirty and dusty RV. There's also a a bucket, a hose and a few sponges and after I get done washing and waxing the RV, the big guys in the black suits press another button on the black boxes they carry and I'm home again. And this week, Art was there. He's hardly ever there, so this was a rare treat and I jumped on the opportunity to get the real story. "What's the deal, Art?" I asked, "Why does your site work when none of the others will? How much power do you really have?" He shook his head and said, "You know I'm just a simple, powerless radio host and I'm not even that anymore because I'm retired. Did you ever read about how Bill Clinton found out about 911? On the news, just like everyone else and that's how I am. I have no powers or connections of any kind. Now get on the RV and make sure you do a good job this time. Last week you left a bunch of dirt around the front bumper and the windows were streaked." So that's the official story direct from the source and if you believe it, I'd like to direct your attention to some prime farmland in Southern Florida that I'm selling very cheap. I also have some bridges that you might be interested in. And, I'm taking a big loss here but I'll let you have it all for just 832 million dollars. Make the check out to Art Bell and that'll cover my Streamlink Tax for two full years and I won't have to wash that stupid RV for another 104 weeks. And if you don't believe it...well, you should still give me $832 million dollars just because it's the right thing to do...but you are also to be congratulated because you have the ability to see past the obvious and know that there's far more to the story than what you can see on the surface. Now all you have to do is find out just what the rest of the story is and explain it to me! Current Mood: depressed Current Music: Coast To Coast AM----George Noory, WOC AM1420 (Comment on this)
4:00p	Rant Du Jour OR: A LAWYER IS VERY VERY NECESSARY !!!!! I don't want to alarm or disturb you but I have to. Well, not all of you. Those of you who haven't read today's edition of The Rock Island Argus will be alarmed and disturbed...the rest of you who have already read it already are alarmed and disturbed and I'm not taking the rap for that but I will accept full responsibility for alarming and disturbing the rest of you. Now that we have all the stuff my lawyer, Perri Mason (This is besides the point but I really love going through her briefs) made me put in out of the way, we can get to the disturbing and alarming part. And it's really two parts. The first one is three or four articles by Brandy Welvaert on the subject of what it's like to be on a food budget of $25/week per person. Let me stress right here that Brandy is not the disturbing and alarming element here. She was the first woman...no, the second woman to make my Top Ten Favorite Local Writer's List. The first was Lucy Miele but she dropped off the list when she died and moved onto My Top Ten Favorite Deceased Local Writers List...and she did a great job. The disturbing and alarming part is that she had to write these stories at all. People shouldn't have to live like that. There is no reason and no excuse. Well, there is a reason but it's a very poor, miserable excuse of a reason and if you don't know what it is, this is a good time for you to learn. Start with all the stories in the news about the banking collapse and how President Bush is telling us we need to spend $700 billion to fix it. But don't stop there. Keep digging into our fake economy that is nothing more than a cover for legalized slavery and when you're done, you will understand why and how we are in such horrible shape. But don't stop there because there's still more to learn. And you can start your next lesson by turning to page B3 of today's Argus and reading Tween 12 & 20. I know, I know, "Dr." Robert Wallace is a know nothing twit and anyone who actually listens to him deserves what they get and I agree with that but it's still a cop out. This guy and the massive right wing noise machine behind him markets him to impressionable kids who ought to know better but don't. He's more insidious, dangerous and destructive than all the tobacco, alcohol and drug dealers combined because he markets mindless obedience to authority. TO KIDS! And his response to Nameless, Oklahoma City is a classic example of just how off the wall crazy he is. Nameless has a problem with one of his teachers and wonders, among other things, if he should get a lawyer. And the "Dr.'s" answer? A long, poorly written diatribe about how hard it is for school administrators to do their jobs...while completely ignoring the fact that pleasing people is their business! They are also responsible for turning out well educated kids but let's be realistic here because that just ain't going to happen. Let me translate what he said: You are just cogs in the machinery and we control you. Shut up, do as your told and make our jobs easy. Then he (These are his words, I'm no longer translating) adds the coup de grâce: A lawyer isn't necessary! The principal's decision is final. Can you believe that? This lazy good for nothing ex-administrator is protecting a current lazy, good for nothing administrator! Bureaucracy always tries to preserve itself at the expense of the people it's intended to serve. Don't let it, Nameless! Make these worthless, obscenely overpaid people earn their paychecks for once. Have the meeting with your principal and if you don't get the results you want, question authority! In court! If they can honestly defend their position, then fine but don't let them win without a fight. My guess is that they don't have much of a chance of winning anyway. No one would say "A lawyer isn't necessary!" who thought they had a snowballs chance in Key West of winning. It's dripping with fear and that's a good thing. Now all you have to do is refuse to be a door mat. My guess is that all you have to do is say you're getting a lawyer and they will crumble like the spineless jelly fishes they are. Show them who's boss. And when you grow up, don't lose that edge. Speak up, vote and hire lawyers when necessary and don't let people like Dr. Wallace and his crony's do to you what they did to my generation. Look at the huge mess people my age made by listening to villains like that and change things around. You can do a much better job than we did. And you can start right here and now by just saying NO to lazy control freak idiots and yes to lawyers! I know, not being a door mat takes a little effort but read the news and look around at what's going on and you'll see how worth it it will be to not have to live in a world like it is now.
