Odds, ends

1. Kelo, cont. A protest rally at the New London City Hall is scheduled for July 5th, 2005 at 6pm.  Find out more here.  If you have a blog, or post on a message board, or own a skywriting plane, or know smoke signaling or that fancy flag language lifeguards use to point out hot chicks to one another—please, help get the word out.

2.  Watching America links to news about the U.S. written outside the U.S—much of it originally in other languages.  Looking for Belgian insights on the Paris Hilton Carl’s Jr. commercial, or French feedback on the recent shark attacks along the coast of Florida? (hint:  Bush’s lies are responsible for both)—then this is the place to go.

3.  Red State’s Mike Krempasky will be testifying today before the Federal Election Commission on the proposed regulation of politics on the internet.  If you are the type to pray, now would be a good time to bend those knees.  And if you’re an atheist, be a sport and try to go at least one day without ticking God off, would you?

4.  Comets!  (h/t Tom Elia)

5.  An observation, played out as a performative:  “there are two types of people—those who can focus

6.  a CITIZEN JOURNALIST update:  still looking for someone to finance my trip to Aruba so I can stakeout that ostrich farm.  Mean birds, those ostriches.  And it ain’t like Alan Colmes has the balls to face one down. 

Come on, FOXNews.  PONY UP AND DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BRING NATALEE HOME!

    Aruba huh?  There is some controversy as to how you pronounce his name.

    Jeff,

    My mother told me this story the other night, so not sure if it’s true. In the mid to late 90s, an American naval officer went to a brothel in Aruba shortly after an American girl went missing. He saw her there but said nothing because officers are not supposed to go to brothels. After his retirement he came out with the story but too late to locate the missing teen.

    Now, I have to admit, as promising as the ostrich theory sounds, I would be more willing to help sponsor your trip to Aruba so you could search EVERY SINGLE WHOREHOUSE on that island. Either that or pester that little fuckers daddy into telling authorities where he stashed the body.

    New London: The citezenry of theis sleept Conneticut town arise in a pack and, howling with rightous fury, descend upon City Hall en mass. The torches flicker, covering the scene with spooky shadows as they pound upon the firmly closed drawbridge, screaming “Come out! Come out!”…

    Hmmm… I always thought there were 10 types of people. Those that work with binary…

  5. Matt Moore says:

    I’m not sure I can say, “Please don’t steal my house,” in flag. All my flags are some combination of “hot,” “chick,” and “bazoomba.”

    Watching America link is goobed.

  7. shank says:

    It’s because Jeff really doesn’t want you getting your JOURNALISM (be it CITIZEN or otherwise) from any other sources than himself.  He’s trying to control your fucking brain man!

  8. SeanH says:

    Jeff, I think Alan Colmes is part ostrich himself.  Like 1/8th on his mother’s side or something.

  9. leni says:

    As the story goes the whorehouse is in Brazil. But to be on the safe side Jeff should visit all the whorehouses in South America. A whorehouse paypal account sounds like a good start.

    Re. Kelo and New London,

    Someone apparently wants to condemn David Souter’s house and develop a hotel.  The story is at http://www.freestarmedia.com/hotellostliberty2.html

    via Drudge.

    It’s probably no coincidence that the image you get by clicking on the Comets! link looks like two erect nipples.

    Or maybe that’s just me.

    Yes, Jeff Goldstein’s 2005 Carribean Whorehouse Tour. I will donate to Pay Pal for that. But I want pictures this time.

    Aruba, Jamaica, ooo I wanna take you

    To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

    Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go

    After extensive research, I have determined there are exactly six kinds of people . . .

    Hey, Beach Boys!

    *singing along*

    That’s where we wanna gooo

    Way down to Kokomo

  15. Michael says:

    BTW, Jeff, once you have funded your trip to Aruba, don’t miss the bar (Carlos & Charley’s) where Natalee was last seen in public.  That is a crazy place, and the most well-known meat market on the island. 

    Not that you care, of course, because you will be there as a CITIZEN JOURNALIST engaged in serious investigative reporting.

  16. Werner Heisenberg says:

    there are 2 types of people:

    those who divide people into two types and those who don’t.

    you’re welcome.

  17. me says:

    Are you certain of that, Mr. Heisenberg?

  18. Werner Heisenberg says:

    yes.

    and please address me as ‘herr Doktor’.
