Next thing I know you're going to tell me that the guy who lost fourteen hundred pounds eating nothing but HUNZA DIET BREAD seventeen times a day is a volunteer firefighter on the same hook and ladder that was lost in NYC, right? aaa ttttttt iiiii a a t i aaaaa t i a a t i a a t iiiii Welcome to ATI313. You might think our opening logo looks a bit different. 23ish Apr. You're right. We're just on 2002 a tight budget this week. G U E S T C O L U M N Filling in for the publisher this week we have Rabbi Rachel Grenfrukt TIE GOES TO THE REPUBLICRATS Working class people of the world unite. They're both messing with us. Bush and Gore both won. And here I'll show you why. War in the middle east serves Cheney and Bush -- but the Anthraxings that came along with it serves Lieberman while Colombia mostly serves Gore. Why would Gore concede when he clearly felt he won? Bush showed him a win-win situation that was better by far than just being president. Hahahaha. Bush not only got over on all the amerikan people, he got over on a man with twice the IQ of he. WTC? Brings all four of them to the feeding trough when you really think about it. A bi-partisan wet-dream. Oh, and hey Catholics, I hope I'm speaking merely figuratively here, I fear I'm not. Bush killed an ArchBishop just especially for Al Gore. "Thanks for dropping all your law suits. They surely would have brought my financial ruin." Why did democrans and republicats attack the Green Party so venemously when it really affected nothing in outcome? They needed everyone fully distracted, looking the other way if we were going to miss all this. ___________You know, there's something_____________ Really prurient about watching Danny Bonaduce, Dick Clark and {who's this other guy???} playing with Barbie dolls in front of a studio audience. A show called "The Other Half." Apparently Emmy's got bigger hips among other things than Barbie. Seperate company? Subsidiary? Not entirely sure. Bonaduce in his life-long attempt to have the same quick timing with one-liners as when he was a little kid strumming a bass guitar, (yeah, we're trying to be Cassidy's dad, aren't we all?) blurts out "Barbie got back." He also made some comment about "should the DeBeers cartel continue trusting people like Winona Ryder." hmmm. Keep in mind, he also ran with a comment a woman in the studio audience made about Barbie, if she were a real woman, would have to walk on hands and knees because of her messed up proportions. "Hoo hoo, you know I'd love it if..." Also keep in mind the next guest on this show is going to be Lorena Bobbit. Or is it going to be that next woman who married him after he left Lorena for Mike Tyson? I channel surfed away, so can't tell you what happened next. But I want to say I feel that Bonaduce's sexist comments, or Emmy doll's fishnet stockings are only so obscene. What's icky is going to be the billions of dollars _____________ [insert utility company who owns defense contractors and TV channels here] is spending on this new show in their desperate and pathetic attempt to manipulate your mind. ________Nepotism alert_______________ Dottie Brewer, she's the one who married John Wayne Bobbit after "the incident." Is she related to Theresa Brewer? ___________________Enough Already______________ 3 Israelis died today. 2 or 4 depending on which news service you look at until they all have a chance to watch each other and line themselves up with something that sounds true, and balanced. Sometime in the next 10-20 hours there are going to be a dozen or two dead Palestinian human beings. Yes, at the hands of helicopters made in Connecticut, tanks and tractors made in Kansas and Minnesota and M16A1 assault rifles made by the same people who brought us the Barbie doll! Whatever moment the truth is clear I am going to add up the dead humans from both sides and report that __ semites are dead at _suchandsuch_ a time in continued warfare egged on by Washington DC directly and Fort Benning School Of Americas indirectly. If you need to kill me for this, go ahead. If you have to sick David Horowitz and Christopher Hitchens on me for months at a time, have at it. Knock yourself out. If you must try to flood this newswire article off the front page by posting 45 useless texts drafted right up in Herndon, VA go for it, because you know what? The truth will NOT be silenced. Put off for decades at a time maybe -- but never silenced. I've had enough. ____________thank yous to Macy's for clothing and__________ __________Peter Frampton____________ for makeup and hair______ You people have been playing Hatfields/McCoys in Israel since well before I made it to nursery school, and for what. So Rockefeller Brzezinski and Kissinger can make billions act like trillions? Fuck you. Ya Basta! I will NOT ALLOW you to continue putting dead middle class and poor human beings on a bell-shaped curve. Your complicity, silence or apathy (depending on who you are reading this) is corrupt, immoral and unjust, is now predictable in its bad form. It is time to discuss linkage. We will save lives minute by minute in our very discussions I think. WE MUST! Palestine, Iraq, Israel, Kabul, Connecticut, Quito, Putamayo, Manhattan and Herndon... it's all the same little world. It's my world and it's your world. You must help me stop this. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore..." See you at A-20 No Lettuce This Week.

"I then mumbled something about the last time I checked, this was still the United States of America -- even if we were just five miles away from where it ends." -- Michael Moore Poet Jailed Over Protest Poem 9:41 a.m. Wednesday 20mar02 POET JAILED OVER PROTEST POEM A Saudi poet who penned verses which said Saudi Arabia's corrupt judges serve "tyrants" has been jailed and the editor who published the poem in a newspaper fired, a Saudi official told Associated Press Wednesday. Tarek Al-Issawi writes from Dubai that Prince Nayef, the interior minister, ordered Mohammed Mokhtar al-Fal, editor- in-chief of the Arabic-language Al-Madina, to be fired a few days after the poem, titled "The Corrupt on Earth," appeared March 10. It's not clear what poet, Abdul Mohsen Musalam was charged with or whether he would be formally tried. The poem accuses the judges of taking bribes and ruling unjustly to "please tyrants." It took its title from the Quran, which rules that "the corrupt on earth" must be put to death. Poem's introduction: It is sad that in the Muslim world, justice is suffering from a few judges who care for nothing but their bank accounts and their status with the rulers. Some of poem: How many (sacred) verses and Sayings you have slaughtered. Your beards are smeared with blood. You indulge a thousand tyrants and Only the tyrant do you obey. [caveat: I have not seen the whole poem, and this story was smothered in anti-Saudi context which I've tried to remove here. I'm hoping I've kept in the right facts. I'll include the URL here to the story I read, but because it's Washington Post/AP I don't expect it to have a shelf-life any more than an hour or two (I'll try to find other references to this on the net)] [ref]=[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55395-2002Mar20.html] /street muscians are/ /a treasure.

[ from a John Solomon associated press article seen at the Washington Post] WHY PAY BAD MONEY AFTER GOOD FOR THE RECIPE TO HUNZA DIET BREAD WHEN IT'S HERE FREE: After much searching I found the real Hunza Diet bread that everyone's trying to sell for eight dollars as multi-level network marketing fodder. Here you go, my gift to the free world. Dough: 3 ½ C of millet (or any grain for that matter. Darker is better for you, lighter tastes more pleasing. Find a balance I guess.) 4 Tbl. brown sugar 1 Entire garlic (chopped up as finely as you can get it. Use powder or salt if you have to but fresh is preferred) 2 t salt (sea salt preferably) 1 tsp. yeast, dissolved in the water 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (Vermont or Wisconsin whenever possible) 1 1/4 cups beer (micro-brews from Colorado if you can) 1 egg, beaten 1 C water (120°) fairly warm but not hot. Glaze: Tbl.. baking soda 1 Cup boiling water 1 egg beaten 1 t water Directions: Mix water, yeast, brown sugar, garlic and salt in a Food processor, or a large mixing bowl. Add flour and mix until dough is smooth. Add more flour if sticky. (If Possible let the dough sit overnight in a plastic container in the fridge.) Now divide the dough into 4, 6 or 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, very thin, a little bigger than a pencil if your making 4 you can roll it about cigar size and 36 inches long . Shape into an upside down U shape on your table. Bring the ends together and twist them. Flatten the ends with your fingers and bring to the top of the bread and press in the dough to secure, making it look almost like you've tied it into a knot. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Now let the dough raise for 30 minutes or til about double in size. For a chewier crust put 2 Tbl. baking soda mixed with 4 Cup boiling water drop the dough in there for about the count of 10 and then lift out with a strainer or pancake turner. Brush with beaten egg and water solution. Sprinkle with coarse salt, garlic and parmesan cheese, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds. Bake in a hot oven 400 to 450 degrees (225 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until well browned.

I could remember our laughter. I know that surely we kissed, and cried, and ate together. I remember our places, games and plans we had. Today is a song out of tune. "The death of Howard K. Smith last [ week ] helped to emphasize how long it has been since American journalism has enjoyed real freedom to use the First Amendment for what it was intended to do. Smith was among the last of those who dared to inject his own opinion into the news he presented, regardless of whether that opinion was popular. He owned the only three abilities a newsman absolutely must have: he could read, he could write, and he could reason. He graduated from no school of journalism, where would- be reporters are today relieved of as much of those three abilities as possible, and he scorned the illusion of objectivity advocated by those schools, where students are evidently taught to feign stupidity if they cannot produce the real thing. LINE a poem by Katie Byrne A line white in color with an insignificant size. Holds my faith, my soul, my fate. But why this line? There are millions all over the world who have been persecuted, tortured, and killed. This ordinary white line, stands for all those who have experienced the rath of an unjust world. What an extraordinary line. Not as insignificant when looked at, from the eyes of the innocent it's claimed.
