   It is always a horror beyond imagination to see helpless people killed with such brutality. It is, however, instructive. If you have the slightest doubt about the face of our enemy – watch it – and realize that this is what they want to do to you, your family, your friends, and your countrymen – all of us.

   Aren’t truck driver TV shows supposed to have a monkey in them?

   Well, just for laughs (sorry), in Manhattan: 12 is Lifetime (Television for Women), 29 is ESPN2 (and you thought Playmakers had gratuitious violence), and 30 is the NBC shopping channel.

   Since we were snowed in today, we watched HBO’s ‘The Hamburg Cell’ and now I am fully nauseous…

   I liked Robin’s post. Let’s see if BJ MCKay and Bear are haulin’ goods and dodgin’ Smokey on the CB with all the good buddies over in Iraq.
   
   I think I see a series, not to mention reviving Greg Evigan’s career.

   Won’t happen, Dean. The chimp refuses to work with Evigan anymore. Something about them not getting along well during the first season, and then Evigan started making “spank the monkey” jokes on the set. It spiralled out of control from there.

   Finally the producers had had enough, and they cut both Evigan and the chimp out of the series, built a new one around Sheriff Lobo, and Evigan got that “My Two Dads” gig.

   From what I’ve heard, Bear wasn’t at all surprised to see that Evigan’s new show was about a domestic partnership with another guy…

   So that’s Greg “SpongeBob” Evigan now ?

   If you folks will indulge me—Last night I watched “Austin City Limits” for the first time in about 10 years. A group called “Flaming Lips” performed Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” The lead singer donned an American flag as a super-hero cape and poured fake blood across his forehead. 

   I haven’t followed the pop music scene much since Dylan broke my heart at Houston playing with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers—I’ve been off in bluegrass, old time,and country mostly since then.  You folks seem pretty hip, so can anyone tell if “Flaming LIps” performance is the norm these days?  Are rock bands sliding into the 60’s deja va all over again? Or is it a mix. I thought I read somewhere where Bono spoke in support of the effort in Iraq? I’m out of touch.

    Salt Lick, the last time I watched “Austin City Limits” it was a showcase for country/western/blues/Texas swing music. I watched one episode featuring some dungheap of a ‘90s “pop” act, and saw the preview of a similar thing scheduled for the following week, and that was that.

    If I wanted to watch stuff like that I wouldn’t bother with a TV—I’d just take the brown acid.

    So, I guess what I’m saying is, I couldn’t possibly answer your question. But I would advise you to continue staying away from “ACL.”

    Hey McGehee—ACL used to be a showcase for top-notch performers of every genre. What caught my attention about the “Flaming Lips” performance is that it seemed to slip into the old 60’s “our troops are baby-killers” theme.  I was just wondering if the pop-rock scene was starting to lean that way, which would be a new moonbat development.
