Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 75 (64 kbps .mp3 11:00 5.0 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  jerks in person    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR MONDAY, MARCH TWENTY-SIXTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070323/ap_on_re_us/houdini_exhumation  THE RELATIVES OF LATE ESCAPE ARTIST HARRY HOUDINI -- WHO DIED EIGHTY-ONE YEARS AGO -- HAVE ASKED THAT HIS BODY BE EXUMED. THE REASON -- SUSPICION THAT THE GREAT MAGICIAN WAS MURDERED. THE STANDARD STORY IS THAT A FAN TESTING THE MAGICIAN'S FAMED ABDOMINAL MUSCLES SUCKER-PUNCHED HOUDINI AND RUPTURED HIS APPENDIX. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO WIRE SERVICES HOUDINI'S DEATH ON HALLOWEEN, NINENTEEN TWENTY-SIX -- MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO POISONING -- PSYCHICS OF THE TIME WANTED HIM DEAD FOR DEBUNKING THEIR BOGUS CLAIMS OF CONTACT WITH THE DEAD.    http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/009527.html  THERE'S A SITE THAT POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR DAVE-O JUST LOVES, AND IT'S CALLED OVERHEARD IN NEW YORK. AND HERE'S AN EXAMPLE:  Puerto Rican teen #1: That's nothing. I seen a horse give birth on the TV. That baby horse just come outta the big horse butt all slimy and shit.  Puerto Rican teen #2: Oh, snap?  Puerto Rican teen #1: For real, yo. That's some big stuff comin' outta your butt if you're a horse and shit...    http://www.rawstory.com/showoutarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.go.com%2FUS%2Fstory%3Fid%3D2975912%26page%3D1  ON FRIDAY, THE PRESIDENT OF MENU FOODS, MAKERS OF THE DOG AND CAT FOODS WHICH ARE THE APPARENT CAUSE OF PET DEATHS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA SAID HIS COMPANY WOULD MAKE RESTITUTION FOR ANIMALS KILLED BY ITS PRODUCTS. LAST WEEK IT WAS LEARNED THAT A CHEMICAL USED IN RAT POISON -- CALLED aminopterin --WAS FOUND IN SAMPLES OF THE PET FOOD, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED. FROM THE ABC NEWS ARTICLE: Investigators,are looking into whether the rat poison came into the United States on an ingredient used in the recalled food. ABC News has learned that Menu Foods bought wheat gluten, the only ingredient changed in its plants, from China. That possibility raises questions about the safety of pet and other food products in the United States.  The chemical can cause kidney failure in dogs and cats, said Donald Smith, dean of Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. HOWEVER, OTHER VETS INTERVIEWED FOR THE ABC NEWS ARTICLE SAID THE CHEMICIAL IS ACTUALLY A STRONG ANTICOAGULANT AND THAT THE LEISIONS THEY'RE SEEING ON ANIMAL'S KIDNEYS DON'T MATCH WHAT RAT POISON DOES.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysteine#Dietary_sources  TURNS OUT WE ALL EAT OTHER PEOPLE. POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO EXPLAINS: Cysteine is derived from many sources, but the cheapest is human hair. It is included in many foods as a flavoring agent, a "processing aid for baking", it's in cough syrups, and in cigarettes.  We are all cannibals.  THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE EXPLAINS THAT the cheapest source of material from which food grade L-cysteine may be purified in high yield is by hydrolysis of molecules in human hair. Other sources include feathers and pig bristles. The companies producing cysteine by hydrolysis are located mainly in China.    http://porgessivepodcastnetwork.com  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW, a proud member of the progressive PODCAST NETWORK! HERE'S ANOTHER SHOW FROM THAT NETWORK: CYBER-PUNK RADIO SAN FRANSISCO! Like an audio comic book from the future.  http://www.mental-escher.net  http://www.mental-escher.net/cyberpunkradio/podcasts/cpr_076_conditioned-fear.mp3    1:04 - CYBER PUNK RADIO PROMO    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17733321/  THOSE OF YOU WHO LISTEN TO THE NEWS SHOW MAY NOT APPRECIATE THAT OUR PROGRAM IS ONLY ONE SERVICE OF POOR MOJO'S ALMANAC(K), AN ONLINE LITERARY MAGAZINE.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 74 (64 kbps .mp3 5.57 2.9 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  If our life was a movie, it'd be "Krull."    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR FRIDAY, MARCH TWENTY-THIRD, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070322/pl_nm/edwards_dc  DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN EDWARDS WILL CONTINUE IN THE RACE DESPITE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THURSDAY THAT HIS WIFE, ELIZABETH, IS ONCE AGAIN BATTLING CANCER. FROM THE ARTICLE: "The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly," SAID Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina and the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee, at a news conference in his hometown.  "The bottom line is her cancer is back. We are very optimistic about this because, having been through some struggles together in the past, we know, the key is to keep your head up," he said.    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070322/ap_on_hi_te/internet_blocking  A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS STRUCK DOWN A 1998 LAW REQUIRING WEB SITE OWNERS PRESENTING MATERIAL WHICH MAY HARM MINORS TO BLOCK ACCESS BY REQUIRING A CREDIT CARD NUMBER. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE, THE PHLADELPHIA DISTRICT COURT JUDGE said parents can protect their children through software filters and other less restrictive means that do not limit the rights of others to free speech. "Perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will -- with age inherit fully,-- are chipped away in the name of their protection," wrote Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr., who presided over a four-week trial last fall.  OUR EDITOR, MOJO, SAYS "CHALK ONE UP FOR SANITY AND FREE SPEECH."    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Iglesias_Why_I_was_fired_0321.html  ONE OF THE EIGHT U.S. ATTORNEYS FORCED TO RESIGN BY THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER QUESTIONABLE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MAY INVOLVE POLITICS -- David Iglesias' -- PUBLISHED AN OPINION PIECE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES WEDNESDAY. HIS POSITION, SUCCINTLY PUT, IS THAT HE'D LIKE EMBATTLED ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES TO STOP LYING AND RESTORE THE FORMER NEW YORK FEDERAL PROSECUTOR'S GOOD NAME. FROM A RAW STORY ARTICLE: Iglesias ends his op-ed expressing gratitude for President Bush's appreciation of his service, which he stated during a White House address TUESDAY, but added that "only a written retraction by the Justice Department setting the record straight regarding my performance would settle the issue for me." AND I DO AGREE THAT really should be the minimum that scumbag Gonzo should do, is reverse his libel of good attorneys. ACCORDING TO A RAW STORY ARTICLE, IGLESIAS WROTE IN HIS NEW YORK TIMES PIECE ABOUT THE phone calls he received from top New Mexico REPUBLICAN lawmakers, Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM), during which he was inappropriately pressed for information regarding "a politically charged corruption case."  "A few weeks after those phone calls, my name was added to a list of United States attorneys who would be asked to resign," wrote Iglesias, "even though I had excellent office evaluations, the biggest political corruption prosecutions in New Mexico history, a record number of overall prosecutions and a 95 percent conviction rate."...    http://rawstory.com/news/2007/House_Committee_Well_avoid_Attorneys_showdown_0322.html  RAW STORY ALSO REPORED, IN AN EXCLUSIVE THAT Rep. Linda Sánchez -- THE the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law, -- which is leading the House Judiciary Committee's investigation -- OF THE U.S. ATTORNEY FIRINGS -- IS SEEKING TO AVOID A SHOWDOWN WITH THE WHITE HOUSE. PRESIDENT BUSH HAS OFFERED THAT STAFF MEMBERS -- INCLUDING POLITICAL ADVISOR KARL ROVE AND FORMER PRESIDENTIAL ATTORNEY HARRIET MIERS -- MEET CONGRESSMEN OFF THE RECORD, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS TO AVOID WHAT HE CALLS A "SHOW TRAIL."

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 72 (64 kbps .mp3 8:19 4.0 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  The bamboo shoot under your Lee Press-On nail.  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH TWENTy-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.  A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.  http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Conyers_Sanchez_to_seek_subpoenas_of_0320.html  IT'S STARTING TO SMELL LIKE THE SUMMER OF 1973 AGAIN. THAT'S THE LAST TIME I CAN REMEMBER A PRESIDENT TELLING THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO EAT SHIT AND DIE. ON TUESDAY, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez called a meeting to authorize subpoenas for five current and former White House and Justice Department officials this morning, ACCORDING TO RAW STORY. AMONG THE OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED WOULD BE KARL ROVE AND FORMER PRESIDENTIAL COUNSEL HARRIET MIERS.  http://rawstory.com/news/2007/New_York_Times_slams_Bushs_nasty_0321.html  THE RESPONSE FROM PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, ACCORDING TO A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL, WAS QUOTE nasty and bumbling UNQUOTE. BUSH OFFERED DEMOCRATIC LEADERS A MEETING, OFF THE RECORD, IN PRIVATE, WITHOUT BEING SWORN IN, BETWEEN ROVE, MIERS AND HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070320/ap_on_go_pr_wh/fired_prosecutors  Bush, in a late-afternoon statement at the White House, said, "We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition aimed at honorable public servants. ... I have proposed a reasonable way to avoid an impasse."  POOR MOJO NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO SAYS: For the record a "fishing expedition" is when you think someone may have done something wrong, and so you poke through all of their files and information looking for a way to bust them. When you *know* someone has committed crimes and demand access to them and their records, it's called "discovery."  FROM THE TIMES EDITORIAL: President Bush declared that 'people just need to hear the truth' about the firing of eight United States attorneys. That’s right. Unfortunately, the deal Mr. Bush offered Congress to make White House officials available for 'interviews' did not come close to meeting that standard."  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!  http://feministing.com/archives/006716.html  THE MOST EXCELLENT BLOG ON MATTERS FOR WOMEN AND OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, FEMINISTING, REPORTS THAT THE GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI WANTS WOMEN TO DIE OF CERVICAL CANCER. THAT CAN BE THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THIS BONE-STUPID IDEA: QUOTING BELLEVILLE DOT COM: Missouri Republican Governor Matt Blunt recently announced he's slashing funding for Planned Parenthood clinics that provide free cervical cancer and other health screenings to poor women in the state.  "Patients should not have to go to an abortion clinic to access lifesaving tests," Blunt said in a written statement.  Except for the fact that the affected clinics don't even provide abortions. They do, however, provide cervical and breast cancer screenings -- about 1,500 a year -- paid for under the Show Me Healthy Women program. This just drives home the point that, even though anti-choicers love to characterize Planned Parenthood as an abortion provider only, their clinics primarily provide other types of reproductive and women's health care.  http://www.rawstory.com/showoutarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coloradoconfidential.com%2FshowDiary.do%3FdiaryId%3D1646  WE'LL PROBABLY SEE MUCH MORE OF THIS SORT OF GRIEF DRING THE NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OR SO OF THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. YOU SEE, THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE START OF THE OCCUPATION AND SAINT PATRICK'S DAY ARE UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE IN THE CALENDAR. AND IF YOU'RE AN ELDERLY PEACE ACTIVIST AND ARE THINKING OF ENTERING YOUR LOCAL SAINT PADDY'S PARADE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF REISISTANCE, RETHINK.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 71 (64 kbps .mp3 8:41 4.0 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  To his mind, an opportunity to insult a successful ape came from the hand of Providence.  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR MONDAY, MARCH NINTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.  A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.  http://rawstory.com/news/2007/I_worked_as_covert_officer_for_0316.html  GIVING SWORN TESTIMONY at a House of Representatives HEARING FRIDAY MORNING, FORMER UNDERCOVER CIA NON-OFFICIAL COVER OPERATIVE VALARIE Plame said that her "name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior officials in the White House and State Department." ACCORDING TO RAW STORY DOT COM, SHE TESTIFIED BEFORE THE House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Opening the hearing, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) said, "It's not our job to determine criminal culpability, but it is our job to determine what went wrong and insist on accountability." ALSO DAMAGED WHEN PLAME WAS OUTED WAS THE CIA BRASS-PLATE FRONT COMPANY PLAME HELPED BUILD, BREWSTER JENNINGS, WHICH WAS USED TO KEEP TRACK OF DEVLEOPMENTS IN NUCLEAR ENERGY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH BREWSTER JENNINGS OUTSIDE THE USA WERE PUT IN HARMS WAY WHEN FORMER VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CHIEF OF STAFF I. LEWIS SCOOTER LIBBY, WHITE HOUSE POLITICAL ADVISOR KARL ROVE, COLUMNIST ROBERT NOVAK AND VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER OUTED PLAME AS A CIA UNDERCOVER AGENT TO PUNISH HER HUSBAND, FORMER AMBASSADOR JOSEPH WILSON. WILSON WROTE AN NEW YORK TIMES OPINION PIECE IN 2003 REFUTING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S CLAIM THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD SOUGHT URANIUM FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE AFRICAN COUNTRY OF NIGER. During its coverage of the hearing, Fox News Channel cut down the sound to feature commentary by Novak who labeled Plame's contention that she was a "covert operator" as "absurd." Novak also brought up Plame's political contributions to the Democratic Party, to imply that she was partisan.  http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/03/16/white-house-security-chief-reveals-no-probe-of-plame-leak-there/  LATER FRIDAY AT THE SAME HOUSE HEARING, James Knodell, director of the Office of Security at the White House, told a congressional committee today that he was aware of no internal investigation or report into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. THIS ACCORDING TO EDITOR AND PUBLISHER, VIA CROOKS AND LIARS. Rep. Waxman recalled that President Bush had promised a full internal probe. Knodell repeated that no probe took place, as far as he knew, and was not happening today. Rep. Waxman at one point said that he regretted not being able to put up a video of the president promising a full probe but added, "I guess we will leave that to The Daily Show."  http://www.poormojo.org/pmjadaily/archives/was%20willing%20to%20defer%20to%20Rove%20on%20the%20matter  MORE AND DIFFERENT ON THE WHITE-HOUSE BEAT... POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE CONTRIBUTOR JIM POINTS OUT THAT A FAMILIAR NAME APPEARS TO BE AT THE CENTER OF THE SCANDAL IN WHICH EIGHT BUSH-APPOINTED UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS WERE FIRED, APPARENTLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PROSECUTE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS FIERCELY ENOUGH. JIM SAYS: THE HEADLINE READS: Justice Dept. was "was willing to defer to Rove on the matter" FIRING THE U-S ATTORNEYS Yeah... it's the Karl Rove you're thinking of. The one who's never been a lawyer, never been to law school and who increasingly looks like he'll be doing more and more courtroom interacting as a defendant. FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES: White House political adviser Karl Rove more than two years ago began seeking input from the Department of Justice into how many U.S. attorneys should be fired in the second Bush administration, according to new e-mails released Thursday that show a deeper White House involvement in the firings of federal prosecutors last year.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 70 for Friday, March 16, 2007   Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 70 (64 kbps .mp3 10:41 5.0 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  This is what we do in our room at night with the lights off making those wet slappy noises.  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR FRIDAY, MARCH SIXTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.  A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6442293.stm  http://www.slate.com/id/2161712/  WRITING ABOUT A B-B-C REPORT ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY, POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR FRITZ SAID: So, a series of serious peer-reviewed government-financed studies in the UK have shown that how much a child runs around (either in sport or on their own) has no relationship to their Body Mass Index, or the measure of how fat they are. Here, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN researchers have found a strong relationship between a child's BMI and how early puberty occurs.  But what are we to do?  FRITZ GOES ON TO SAY THAT GOVERNMENT BOTH FINDS IT EASY TO TAKE THE FOOD INDUSTRY'S MONEY TO NOT LOOK INTO WHAT MAKES OUR KIDS FAT, AND ALSO EASY TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE SPORTS INDUSTRY TO PROMOTE ACTIVITIES THAT WON'T KEEP KIDS FROM GETTING FAT.  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/14/business/14light.html?_r=1&oref=slogin  FRITZ ALSO COMMENTED ON THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ABOUT HOW THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO REPLACE FOUR BILLION INCANDESCENT LIGHTBULBS WITH FLOURESCENT ALTERNATIVES TO SAVE ELECTRICITY. HE WRITES: IT'S AN effort to cut national energy consumption (I kid you not) by a maximum of about 3 percent. If we turned off every incandescent bulb in the country, and simply went without that extra light, we'd only cut energy consumption by 9 percent.  It's ultimately a depressing article.  But 4 billion light sockets!? There's a very big, generation defining joke there somewhere. How many. Screw in light bulb. Kind of people. Polish people. Alternate ethnic or social groups... the material is here people!  PLEASE SEND YOUR ENTRIES FOR THE "HOW MANY BLANKS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE FOUR BILLION INCANSECENT LIGHTBULBS" JOKE-WRITING CONTEST TO ALAN -- THAT'S A-L-A-N -- AT POORMOJO DOT ORG.  http://consumerist.com/consumer/riaa/npr-vs-the-riaa-244318.php  http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/13/warner_music_sues_pa.html  WHAT MORE COULD THE RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA DO TO MAKE PEOPLE HATE MAINSTREAM RECORDING ARTISTS AND RECORD COMPANIES? LET'S SEE. HAVE THEY SUED SINGLE MOTHERS FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIER 12-YEAR-OLD KIDS MISTAKES? CHECK. HAVE THEY SUED THE ESTATES OF DEAD PEOPLE? CHECK. HAVE THEY FORCED COLLEGE KIDS TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL TO PAY THE JUDGMENTS AGAINST THEM? CHECK. AND NOW, THEY'VE GONE AHEAD AND SUED A STROKE VICITIM WHO CAN'T MOVE HALF HIS BODY AND WHO LIVES ON A DISABILITY CHECK AND WHO WASN'T LIVING IN THE STATE WHERE THE ALLEGED FILESHARING TOOK PLACE, ACCORDING TO BOING-BOING. AND NOW, ACCORDING TO CONSUMERIST, THEY'VE GONE AHEAD AND INCREASED THE FEES THEY CHARGE NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO TWENTY-FOLD -- WHEN NPR SPENDS TONS OF TIME AND EFFORT PROMOTING NEW ARTISTS TO ITS AUDIENCE. SO, WHAT COULD THE RIAA DO NEXT TO PROVE THEMSELVES WORTHY OF OUR LOVE? DOUSE AN ORPHANAGE IN KEROSENE AND LIGHT IT AFTER NAILING THE DOORS SHUT? RAPE KITTENS ON LIVE TV? SERIOUSLY, GUYS...YOU ARE WRETCHED ASSHOLES.  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!  http://rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antiwar.com%2Futley%2F%3Farticleid%3D10661  SURE, I.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 69 (64 kbps .mp3 9:49 4.5 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  You didn't say "Mother may I."    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH FOURTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/13/washington/13attorneys.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin  The White House prompted the firing of federal prosecutors after being given the power to do so under a provision of the USA PATRIOT Act, according to THE NEW YORK TIMES. THE ARTICLE STATES PRESIDENT BUSH SPOKE WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALEZ AS EARLY AS LAST OCTOBER REGARDING U-S ATTORNEYS WHOM THE PRESIDENT FELT WERE NOT AGRESSIVE ENOUGH IN ALLEGED CASES OF VOTE FRAUD BY DEMOCRATS. SENATOR PETE DOMENICHI -- WHO FAMOUSLY QUESTIONED A U-S ATTORNEY PERSONALLY ABOUT AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION -- HAD ALSO PERSONALLY COMPLAINED TO THE PRESIDENT THAT THE DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER IN HIS DISTRICT WAS NOT BEING HARASSED ENOUGH. POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO SAYS: This is surely unethical, but because of the Patriot Act not entirely illegal. But if the firings were retribution for not fixing the 2004 election better . . . well then that's a whole 'nother story. Expect this one to keep growing for awhile.    http://www.wbir.com/news/national/story.aspx?storyid=43254&provider=gnews  ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES ANNOUNCED TUESDAY THAT HE WILL NOT FOLLOW CALLS FROM SENATORS AND PUBLIC INTEREST GROUPS TO RESIGN FOR HIS BEHAVIOR AROUND THE U-S ATTORNEY FIRING SCANDAL, ACCORDING TO WIRE SERVICE REPORTS. GONZALES TOLD REPORTERS THAT QUOTE "MISTAKES WERE MADE" UNQUOTE IN THE FIRING OF THE EIGHT U-S PROSECUTORS. Gonzales has already accepted the resignation of his top aide, Kyle Sampson. IT APPEARS THAT FORMER SUPRIME COURT NOMINEE HARRIET MIERS AND GONZALES STARTED DISCUSSING THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR FIRINGS THREE YEARS AGO.    http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/002746.php  T-P-M MUCKRAKER BLOG POSTED U-S SENATOR Chuck Schumer'S LIST OF LIES ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES AND OTHER WHITE HOUSE OFFICALS HAVE TOLD THE CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. FROM THE ARTICLE: First, we were told that the seven of the eight U.S. attorneys were fired for performance reasons.  It now turns out this was a falsehood, as the glowing performance evaluations attest.  Second, we were told by the attorney general that he would, quote, "never, ever make a change for political reasons."  It now turns out that this was a falsehood, as all the evidence makes clear that this purge was based purely on politics, to punish prosecutors who were perceived to be too light on Democrats or too tough on Republicans.  Third, we were told by the attorney general that this was just an overblown personnel matter.  It now turns out that far from being a low-level personnel matter, this was a longstanding plan to exact political vendettas or to make political pay-offs.  Fourth, we were told that the White House was not really involved in the plan to fire U.S. attorneys. This, too, turns out to be false.  AND, AS OUR EDITOR MOJO POINTS OUT, THERE ARE MORE LIES -- SCHUMER IS JUST GETTING WARMED UP.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://www.tmz.com/2007/03/12/stallone-charged-with-importing-steroids-down-under/WEB SITE T-M-Z DOT COM POSTED TUESDAY THAT ACTOR Sylvester Stallone was officially charged with illegally importing performance and image enhancing drugs i, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. STALLONE was caught at Sydney Airport with several vials of a steroid known as (human growth hormone), during a random baggage check. Customs officials claim they found a total of 48 vials of the steroid HIDDEN IN HIS LIMO, HOTEL ROOM AND PRIVATE JET.    http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/85524  SOME DAYS, IT JUST DOESN'T PAY TO BE A METH ADDICT.

<![CDATA[
Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 68 (64 kbps .mp3 12:06 5.2 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  What do YOU do with a drunken sailor?  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR TUESDAY, MARCH THIRTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN  A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6440365.stm  OIL CONTRACTING GIANT HALIBURTON IS LEAVING THE UNITED STATES AND WILL RE-LOCATE TO DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, ACCORDING TO B-B-C NEWS. POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO SAYS: I'm not sure I'm comfortable with so many of the U.S. gov's functions being performed by a foreign company. Not that I was ever comfortable with Halliburton, but at least if they are based on U.S. soil they can be held to U.S. laws.  FROM THE ARTICLE: formerly headed by US Vice-President Dick Cheney, The company said it hoped the move to the United Arab Emirates would help it expand its business in the Middle East.  Halliburton won valuable contracts in Iraq following the US-led invasion of 2003, some of which were awarded without competitive bidding.  http://www.harpers.org/this-week-in-babylon-138281283.html  MEANWHILE, HARPERS' MAGAZINE'S THIS WEEK IN BABYLON COLUMN OUTLINES THE ALLEGATIONS MADE AGAINST HALLIBURTON, in which an international consortium led by a Halliburton subsidiary apparently bribed Nigerian officials to win construction contracts worth $5.3 billion. THE ARTICLE STATES there are questions about whether Vice President Dick Cheney, the former head of Halliburton, had knowledge (or chose not to have knowledge) of the illegal payments. THE AFFAIR IS BEING INVESTIGATED IN FOUR COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES.  http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Cheney_tells_AIPAC_that_Congressional_antiwar_0312.html  SPEAKING OF THE VICE PRESIDENT, HE APPEARED TODAY AT THE AMERICAN ISRAEL PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, DC, ACCORDING TO RAW STORY DOT COM. HE CAME TO ASSURE THE CONSERVATIVE ISRAEL LOBBY -- WHICH HAS ONLY OCCASIONALLY BEEN ACCUSED OF PARTICIPATING IN ESPIONAGE AGAINST THE UNITED STATES -- THAT WE WERE GOING TO INVADE IRAN, NO MATTER WHAT. NOT THAT THIS SETS HIM APART IN THE NATIONS' CAPITOL -- DEMOCRATIC SENATORS HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA HAVE PROMISED ISRAEL EXACTLY THE SAME THING. BUT DICK WASN'T GOING TO LET THE DEMOCRATS OFF EASY, OH NO, AND HE TOOK TO THE PODIUM TO ACCUSE THEM, ESSENTIALLY, OF TREASON FOR EVEN ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT BOTH THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ AND THE PLANNED INVASION OF IRAN. HIS ARGUMENT WAS TWO-FOLD: ONE, QUOTE: "The most common myth is that Iraq has nothing to do with the global war on terror. Opponents of our military action there have called Iraq a diversion from the real conflict, a distraction from the business of fighting and defeating bin Laden and the al Qaeda network. We hear this over and over again, not as an argument but as an assertion meant to close off argument."  OF COURSE, THIS IS THE TRIED-AND TRUE ROVIAN/CHENEY TACTIC OF ACCUSING YOUR RHETORICAL OPPONENT OF DOING THE EXACT BAD THING THAT YOU ARE DOING.  ARGUMENT TWO WAS THAT YOU CAN'T SUPPORT THE TROOPS WHILE QUESTIONING THE MISSION. CHENEY INVOKED THE WORDS "SLOW BLEED" BEFORE THE AIPAC CONFERENCE TO DEFAME DEMOCRTAIC LEGISLATORS EFFORTS TO REIGN IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IN IRAQ AND STAVE OFF AN ATTACK ON IRAN. THINK PROGRESS POINTS OUT THAT IT WAS ONLY LAST WEDNESDAY THAT A CONSERVATIVE BLOGGER COINED THE PHRASE "SLOW BLEED" -- PRESUMABLY AFTER HE READ IT OFF THE FAX FROM KARL ROVE'S OFFICE -- AND THAT, WITHIN HOURS, the Republican National Committee issued a release falsely claiming that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) 'call their plan the ’slow-bleed strategy,'  http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6476407,00.html  OF COURSE, DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL HILL RESPONDED TO CHENEY'S BASELESS ACCUSATIONS AND SMEARS WITH AN UTTER LACK OF BACKBONE. WITH AN EYE TOWARD FUTURE ELECTIONS AND NOT WANTING TO BE SEEN AS SOFT ON IRAN,

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 67 (64 kbps .mp3 10:49 5.2 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.   Your Mother is naught but our rutt-toy.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR MONDAY, MARCH ELEVENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT.    http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na-gonzales12mar12,0,1237034.story?track=mostviewed-homepage  IT'S PROBABLY TIME FOR U-S ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO "TORTURE-ENABLER, HABEUS-KILLER" GONZALES TO GO. HE'S DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT SENATOR ARLEN SPECTOR OF PENNSYLVANIA WOULD HAVE LIKED LIKE TO HAVE SAID AND WHAT Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York DID SAY ON SUNDAY, ACCORDING TO THE LOS ANGELES TIMES. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/opinion/11sun1.html?_r=1&oref=slogin WE ALSO LEARNED SUNDAY THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS AN EDITORIAL CALLING FOR GONZALES TO RESIGN.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070309/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/national_security_letters  ON FRIDAY, GONZALES WAS WORKING ON DAMAGE CONTROL AS HE AND FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION DIRECTOR ROBERT MUELLER ADMITTED THAT THEY DID A WHOLE LOTTA DOMESTIC SPYING THEY WEREN'T AUTHORIZED TO DO UNDER THE ALREADY UNBELIEVEABLY GENEROUS TERMS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT. ACCORDING TO ASSOCIATED PRESS, Gonzales left open the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against FBI agents or lawyers who improperly used the USA Patriot Act in pursuit of suspected terrorists and spies, BUT YOU'LL BE COLD AND DEAD BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. MEULLER BASICALLY SAID IT WAS HIS FAULT FOR NOT INSISTING THAT THERE BE AN AUDIT OF WHAT THE F-B-I WAS DOING WITH THE SO-CALLED NATIONAL SECURITY LETTERS, AND THAT THE REPBULICAN-DOMINATED CONGRESS HAD SPENT SIX YEARS NOT INISISTING THAT HE DO THAT INSISTING. [ACTUALITY-MULLER] THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, Anthony D. Romero, SAID "The attorney general and the FBI are part of the problem, and they cannot be trusted to be part of the solution,"      http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/07/world/main2544988.shtml  All pet dogs will be killed in a district of the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing as part of an anti-rabies campaign, the government said. Residents of the city's Wanzhou district have until March 15 to hand over their dogs, according to a directive seen Wednesday on the district's official Web site, according to Associate Press.  http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/  AND NOW, POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO ANNOUNCE THAT, ACCORDING TO THE WEB SITE THE GREAT FIREWALL OF CHINA DOT ORG, OUR MAIN URL, POORMOJO DOT ORG, IS OFFICIALLY BANNED IN THE PEOPLES' REPUBLIC! POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR DAVE-O SAYS, it's ironic, considering the bulk of Chinese SPAMbots that have beaten up on our wiki and comments in the past.  Do we have any Chinese readers? Can anyone out there confirm that they've successfully accessed PMjA from behind the Rice Curtain, or is the Almanac(k) and all of her bounty truly invisible to the Middle Kingdom?  If we are banned, why? Is it because of Alan's potty mouth?  I DUNNO, DAVE-O. I'D PUT MY MONEY ON EDITOR MOJO'S POSTS ON THE COMING WAR BETWEEN THE U-S-A AND CHINA, AND THAT EXPOSE ON THE FALUN-GONG PRISIONER ORGAN FARMS.    http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/03/07/cow.eats.chickens.reut/index.html  ALSO FROM THE ASIA/PACIFIC DESK, IN A RELATED STORY, CNN AND REUTERS REPORT ON A COW THAT EATS CHICKENS. DATELINE: KOLKATA, India: A family -- BLAMING ITS DOGS -- decided to stand guard at night on Monday at the cow shed which also served as a hen coop, after 48 chickens went missing in a month.  "Instead of OUR dogs [EATING THE CHICKENS], we watched in horror as the calf, whom we had fondly named Lal, sneak to the coop and grab the little ones with the precision of a jungle cat," Gour Ghosh, said.  Local television pictures showed the cow grabbing and eating a chicken in seconds and a vet confirmed the case.    THIS IS POOR MOJ

<![CDATA[
Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 66 (64 kbps .mp3 9:46 4.5 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  We have the heart of a child. In a jar, in our closet.    IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR FRIDAY, MARCH NINTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    IT'S POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO'S BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOJO! HERE'S MOJO'S BIRTHDAY EPISTLE TO THE WORLD:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_8  I share this birthday with such illuminaries as "actor" Freddie Prinz, jr, and martial artist and general late-night-cable asskicker Cynthia Rothrock, and Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr. Looking at that list how can you possibly deny the truth and power of horoscopes, eh? or, even better, can you imagine a time-travelling superteam made up of those three and me? We'd be just like the A-Team. Freddie Prinz would be the FaceMan, charming the ladies and going undercover. Cynthia "Blonde Fury' Rothrock would be the bruiser and muscle and weapons expert. Holmes would naturally be the thinker and strategist. And that would leave me the "Howling Mad" role, which I would firmly embrace. I'd be the wild card, the pilot, the unpredictable one who would tease Cynthia Rothrock and lure her onto the plane, even though she was afraid of flying.  It's also the anniversary of the Russian revolution. And it's International Woman's Day. So I'll be celebrating my birthday today with over half the world's population, which all told isn't such a bad thing.    AND NOW A WORD FROM GAMERS LEDGE DAILY PODCAST!  60 - Gamers Ledge  THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/news/breaking_news/16853136.htm  ONE STEP CLOSER TO A SHADOWRUN FUTURE... So we're skipping the whole army idea entirely here and just going straight to hiring mercenaries to fight for us.  NAIROBI, Kenya - The State Department has hired a major military contractor to help equip and provide logistical support to international peacekeepers in Somalia, giving the United States a significant role in the critical mission without assigning combat forces, according to wire services.  DynCorp International, which also has U.S. contracts in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, will be paid $10 million to help PROVIDE the first peacekeeping mission in Somalia in more than 10 years.    http://www.tampontification.com/donate.php  POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE CONTRIBUTOR LONGO APPEALS TO YOUR SENSE OF CHARITY, AND I AGREE, SHIFT YOUR DEAD BUTT AND DONATE SOME TAMPONS, PEOPLE! HEAD TO TAMPONTIFICATION DOT COM SLASH DONATE DOT PHP, OR SIMPLY HIT THE LINK AT THE NEWSWIRE IN THE POST FOR TODAY'S PODCAST. Seventh Generation, a green paper products and cleaning products company, will donate a box of sanitary products to a women's shelter in your chosen state - just for clicking the link.    http://www.rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inc.com%2Fcriticalnews%2Farticles%2F200703%2Fwork_Printer_Friendly.html  THE BIGGEST PROBLEM TWENTY-SOMETHINGS TODAY HAVE WITH MOM AND DAD IS THAT THEY'RE NOT DROPPING DEAD FAST ENOUGH. Employee dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, according to a national survey released Monday by the Conference Board, a New York-based private research group.  In a survey of 5,000 U.S. households, more than half of all respondents said they dislike their current jobs, compared to less than 40 percent in a similar survey conducted 20 years ago.  These days, the lowest levels of job satisfaction are among younger workers, the survey found. Only 39 percent of respondents aged 25 and younger said they liked their current jobs -- the lowest level in the survey's 20-year history -- compared to 45 percent for workers between 45 and 54. A FREQUENTLY CITED REASON FOR DISSATISFACTION -- LACK OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PROMOTION.    http://refinish69.podomatic.com/  http://progressivepodcastnetwork.org  AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM

FOR THURSDAY, MARCH EIGHTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.  A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .  http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/03/07/entertainment/e055217S16.DTL&type=entertainment  YOU CAN'T UNSEE SOMETHING, WHICH IS WHY POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO REQUESTS THAT ASSOCIATED PRESS LEARN TO USE SPOILER WARNINGS. IN FACT, SKIP AHEAD 30 SECONDS IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO SPOIL THE BIG MARVEL COMICS NEWS. WE'LL WAIT.... DUM DE DUM...OKAY, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS, YOU'D BETTER SKIP AHEAD.... RIGHT, HERE WE GO. Captain America has undertaken his last mission — at least for now. The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the NEW YORK Daily News reported.  On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse, according to the newspaper.  It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941 to incarnate patriotic feeling during World War II. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in a total of 75 countries.  OKAY, SPOILER OVER!!  http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/826167.html  A TWO-THOUSAND YEAR OLD SEED HAS GERMINATED AND HAS NOW BLOOMED, ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE IN HAARETZ. DR. Elaine Soloway HAS BEEN GROWING Methuselah FOR TWO YEARS, AND MAY SOON TRUST THAT IT IS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO REMOVE FROM THE NURSERY, WHERE IT HAS BEEN SHELTERED FROM MODERN PLANT VIRUSES. THE SEED, FOUND IN Kibbutz Ketura in the Arava, ISREAL, WAS CREATED AT ABOUT THE TIME OF THE Great Revolt of the Jews against the Romans, FROM THE YEARS 66-73 OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA.  http://www.dailypressandargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070307/NEWS01/703070306 YESTERDAY, I CALLED VICKI FYKE, PRESDIENT OF THE Livingston COUNTY, MICHIGAN Organization for Values in Education A DICKHEAD, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN -- SHE'S A DICKHEAD. SHE ASKED THE LOCAL U.S. ATTORNEY TO CHECK INTO THE FILTH TEENS WERE BEING PRESENTED WITH IN HIGH-SCHOOL LITERATURE CLASSES -- TRASH LIKE Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye," Richard Wright's "Black Boy," Erin Gruwell's "The Freedom Writers Diary," Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five," and Augusten Burrough's "Running With Scissors." THANK GOD, NOT EVERYONE IN MICHIGAN IS A RIGHT-WING LUNATIC -- THE DAILY PRESS AND ARGUS OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY REPORTED WEDNESDAY THAT Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse found that assigning the books does not violate any criminal laws because the Board of Education had approved them, and taken as a whole the books are not harmful to minors as defined by the law. NOW, WHAT YOU GOT RIGHT THERE IS THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF OBSCENITY. THE BOOKS AREN'T OBSCENE, AND ANYONE WHO ISN'T A DICKHEAD KNOWS THAT. BUT NOT OUR VICKI FYKE, WHO IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE F-B-I AND WHO ALSO SAYS SHE'S GOT A SECRET PLAN COOKED UP TO GET THEM BOOKS OUT OF THE HANDS OF IMPRESSIONABLE TEENS AND INTO A BONFIRE, WHERE THEY BELONG. OKAY, I'M PARAPRHASING. LOOK, The books dickhead over here wants to ban helped shape and save my life, and I'll stand in front of the steps of the Livingston County Courthouse and give copies of these books out to every teenager I see while chanting "Vicki Fyke is a god-damned dickhead!" through a bullhorn, see if I don't.  God bless Michigan as she sinks into the lakes under the weight of poverty and ignorance.  http://porgressivepodcastnetwork.org  AND NOW A WORD FROM THE PROGRESSIVE PODCAST NETWORK:  30 - PROGRESSIVE PODCAST NETWORK.

FIRST, DOCTORS DISCLOSED THAT HE HAS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING BLOOD CLOT IN HIS LEG, ACCORDING TO WIRE SERVICE REPORTS. WHICH, GIVEN HOW HONEST AND FORTHRIGHT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN, PROBABLY MEANS HE'S ON A RESPIRATOR AND RECEIVING LAST RITES. SECOND, HIS FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF WAS CONFIRMED BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS TO BE A LYING SCUMBAG TODAY, UP TO HIS NECK IN THE PLOT TO OUT A C-I-A UNDERCOVER NON-OFFICIAL COVER OPERATIVE, WHICH MAY I REMIND YOU IS TREASONOUS. WELL, TO HEAR B-B-C NEWS TELL IT, THE CHARGES WERE obstruction of justice and perjury. THEN AGAIN, MAYBE IT ISN'T SUCH A BAD DAY FOR CHENEY, AS SPECIAL PROSECUTOR PATRICK FITZGERALD HAS DECIDED THAT NO FURTHER CHARGES WILL BE FILED, AS CHENEY AND ROVE WILL JUST KEEP LYING, AND THEY CLEARLY WOULD THROW THEIR CHILDREN TO THE WOLVES IF NECESSARY. OOPS, SORRY, THAT ROVE FELLER is what they call A CONFIRMED BATCHELOR. ANYWAY, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID, DEMOCRAT OF NEVADA, HAS DARED BUSH TO PARDON SCOOTER, AND AS SOON AS CHENEY TELLS HIM TO, I'M SURE GEORGE WILL.  http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/002629.php  OOPSIE! TURNS OUT THAT THOSE WEAPONS THAT ARE KILLING OUR TROOPS PARTICIPATING IN THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ THAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION INISISTED CAME FROM IRAN ARE IN FACT COMING FROM IRAQ! ACCORDING TO T-P-M MUCKRAKER, QUOTING THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, troops "uncovered a makeshift factory used to construct advanced roadside bombs that the U.S. had thought were made only in Iran." DURING A RAID IN SOUTHERN IRAQ. AMONG THE ITEMS FOUND: "cardboard boxes of the gray plastic PVC tubes used to make the canisters. The boxes appeared to contain shipments of tubes directly from factories in the Middle East, none of them in Iran.  http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/04/news/shoot.php  WE ARE ASKED TO BELIEVE THE FOLLOWING: A KREMLIN EXPERT STATES ON NATIONAL TV THAT THE KREMLIN IS KILLING ITS CRITICS, AND THEN FOUR HOURS AFTER MEETING WITH A FORMER K-G-B GENERAL LATER THAT WEEK, THE KREMLIN EXPERT IS GUNNED DOWN IN FRONT OF HIS HOME IN SUBURBAN MARYLAND.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 63 (64 kbps .mp3 10:19 4.7 Mb)  A roundup of things that seemed important since Friday.  This statement is false  IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR MONDAY, MARCH FIFTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN  A ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT SINCE FRIDAY.  http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/01/department_of_homela.html  http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/01/homeland_security_re.html  HOMELAND SECURITY HAS TWO GREAT IDEAS ON TAP THAT I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY. THE FIRST IS AN INTERNAL PASSPORT, MANDATORY IF YOU WANT TO FLY OR VISIT A FEDERAL BUILDING, ACCORDING TO BOING-BOING DOT NET. AND IF YOU SOMEHOW RUN AFOUL OF THE LAW, YOU MAY JUST END UP ON A FARM, REPLACING A MIGRANT WORKER, MAKING SIXTY CENTS PER DAY.  http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070302/NEWS04/70302010  A DETROIT-AREA FUGITIVE TEEN GAVE HIMSELF AWAY THURSDAY BY USING HIS MY-SPACE PAGE TO TAUNT THE POLICE, WHO THEREBY QUICKLY CAUGHT HIM.. HERE'S A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR DAVE-O... I used to teach high school, and in the last few years students were perpetually confessing to crimes on Livejournal and MySpace. At one time, I gave a "Don't Confess to Crimes in a Public Forum and Then Cry and Rage When You Are Confronted with Print-Outs" speech almost weekly. It had no noticeable effect. Why are children so fucking stupid?  http://thelastangrymanspodcast.podomatic.com/entry/2007-02-28T00_09_57-08_00  PLEASE GO AND LISTEN TO THE LAST ANGRY MAN'S PODCAST, OVER ON POD-O-MATIC...THE LINK IS AT THE NEWSWIRE, JUST SEARCH FOR THE LAST ANGRY MAN... AN EXCERPT FROM FRIDAY'S 'CAST: What I learned of my studies of the Holocaust was that no laws were broken in Germany. The Jews were killed legally. That's why it doesn't bother me when a Ku Klux Klan member is running down the street yelling, 'I hate negroes" and "I hate kikes", that doesn't really bother me. It's when they get elected to office and they have power, and since we're bound by law, if someone changes the law, then they have power over us. Power to kill us, power to take away our rights, power to do whatever they want to us....  For example, how long did it take for the Jews to become illegal people? Able to be killed legally? It wasn't just a couple of laws. It took eight or nine years of laws, culminating in the Nuremberg Laws. They happen slowly, one step at a time, until legal murder could be done.  And the Jews didn't even realize it was happening. Is that happening in this country? FOR MORE, JUST LOOK FOR THE LAST ANGRY MAN.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070302/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/new_warheads  WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE UNITED STATES WANT TO UPGRADE IT'S ARSENAL OF NUCLEAR WEAPSONS? POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO'S BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT... Y'know, we never even used the *last* generation of nukes we had sitting around. Why should we invest a kajillion dollars in a new generation when the last generation didn't do anything?  Wait. Sorry, I'm getting a message from the Poormojo International desk. The message is one word and one word only, it is: China.  http://americablog.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-head-of-walter-reed-let-soldier.html  THE GUY WHO LET THINGS DETERIORATE AT WALTER REED ARMY HOSPITAL TO THE POINT WHERE WAREHOUSED IRAQ OCCUPATION WOUNDED WERE LEFT LYING IN PISS-SOAKED MATTRESSES ATTACHED TO OVERFLOWING COLOSTOMY BAGS, IN ROOMS FULL OF ROACHES AND MOLD, WAS PUT BACK IN CHARGE OF THE HOSPITAL FRIDAY, ACCORDING TO AMERICABLOG.  http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/01/veterans-starbucks/  AND IF YOU'RE AT WALTER REED AND WANT TO TALK TO A REPORTER, WELL, SEEING THAT REPORTERS ARE BASICALLY NOT WELCOME ON *ANY* MILITARY PROPERTY AFTER LAST-WEEK'S REPORTING ON THE HOSPITAL, THINK PROGRESS REPORTS THAT IRAQ OCCUPATION VETS ARE TOLD BY THE ARMY THAT THEY'RE WELCOME TO DRAG THEIR PROSTHETIC LIMBS DOWN TO STARBUCKS AND DO THE INTERVIEW THERE.  http://therandirhodesshow.com/live/  THANKS TO THE RANDI

A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6407925.stm  THE NEWEST WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM, VISTA, IS CAUSING HEADACHES FOR EARLY ADOPTORS, ACCORDING TO BBC NEWS. AS HAPPENED WHEN WINDOWS XP WAS INTRODUCED, SOME THIRD-PARTY VENDORS HAVEN'T UPDATED THEIR SOFTWARE TO WORK PROPERLY WITH VISTA. IF THAT VENDOR IS YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, YOU'RE BASICALLY KNOCKED OFFLINE. One reader was warned by Virgin Media that it would be "weeks" before its software worked with Vista.    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6409509.stm  AUSTRALIAN DAVID HICKS -- PICKED UP BY US FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN, ALLEGEDLY FIGHTING WITH THE TALIBAN -- WILL FACE TERROR CHARGES AFTER SPENDING FIVE YEARS BEING SMACKED AROUND AND OTHERWISE ABUSED IN OUR CONCENTRATION CAMP IN GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA. BBC NEWS REPORTED THAT The decision comes despite Australian officials asking the United States not to bring such charges.    http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/01/repo_man_for_ocean_f.html  F. Max Hardberger STEALS SHIPS FOR A LIVING. WELL, MORE PROPERLY SAID, THE SHIP CAPTIAN AND ATTORNEY RECOVERS OCEAN VESSLES FOR THEIR LEGAL OWNERS WHEN THE MORTGAGE-HOLDERS CAN'T KEEP UP THE PAYMENTS. THAT'S RIGHT - HE'S A REPO-MAN FOR SHIPS. HARDBERGER SAYS, "I'm sure there are those who would like to add me to a list of modern pirates of the Caribbean, but I do whatever I can to protect the legal rights of my clients." AS SEEN ON BOING BOING DOT NET, HIS NEW ORLEANS FIRM, VESSEL EXTRACTIONS, HAS RECOVERED AT LEAST ONE DOZEN SHIPS. THE ARTICLE DIDN'T MENTION IF HARDBERGER ADMITTED THAT THE LIFE OF A REPO MAN IS ALWAYS INTENSE.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.03/herding_pr.html  WIRED MAGAZINE'S RECENT ARTICLE, HERDING THE MOB, DESCRIBES VARIOUS DEVIOUS MEANS MEANIES USE TO GAIN AUDIANCE OR ILL-GOTTEN BOOTY. FROM THE ARTICLE'S SECTION ON E-BAY FRAUD --  Cheats on eBay typically work like this: A scammer builds up a positive profile by selling hundreds of low-end items, then uses that high score to burn customers on big-ticket sales. John Morgan, a professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, says reputation gaming is surprisingly common on eBay. Morgan recently published a study in which he found more than 6,000 examples of buyers and sellers engaging in transactions solely to boost one another’s scores. These auctions frequently had titles like “100 Feedback” and a price of 1 cent. Often, the item for trade was a booklet explaining how to increase feedback by reselling that same booklet.  “We saw a number of sellers who used sham transactions to build reputation, laid low for a period of time, and then reentered high-value markets as apparently ‘reputable’ sellers,” Morgan says.    http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/02/27/self.centered.students.ap/index.html  DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK THAT THERE MIGHT BE SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH SELF ESTEEM? ARE LITTLE ABIGAIL AND TREVOR' S SENSE OF SELF-WORTH STARTING TO GET ON YOUR NERVES? A SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER QUOTED BY C-N-N AGREES. Totday's college students are more narcissistic and self-centered than their predecessors, according to a comprehensive new study by five psychologists who worry that the trend could be harmful to personal relationships and American society.  "We need to stop endlessly repeating 'You're special' and having children repeat that back," said the study's lead author, Professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State University. "Kids are self-centered enough already."  SO, THE NEXT TIME YOU RUN ACROSS ONE OF THESE SMUG, SELF-SATISFIED TYKES, JUST WHISPER IN THEIR EAR

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 61 (64 kbps .mp3 12:13 5.6 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  Lying out of habit, truthing out of spite.    IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR THURSDAY, MARCH FIRST, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    http://www.rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.armytimes.com%2Fnews%2F2007%2F02%2FTNSreedinspect070227%2F  OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, DON'T JOIN THE MILITARY. SECOND OF ALL, IF YOU DO JOIN THE MILITARY, KNOW THAT WHAT THEY TELL YOU WILL NOT BE THE TRUTH. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO KEEP ITS END OF ANY DEAL MADE WITH MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES. AND IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GETTING SHAFTED WHILE IN THE MILITARY -- SAY, IF YOU LIVE IN A ROACH-INFESTED CRAPHOLE HOSPITAL FULL OF MOLD AND BROKEN ELEVATORS AS YOU HEAL UP FROM HAVING HALF YOUR HEAD BLOWN OFF IN THE SERVICE OF YOUR COUNTRY -- AND YOU GO WHINING TO THE MEDIA, WELL, THIS HAPPENS. FROM ARMY TIMES: Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center’s Medical Hold Unit say they have been told they will wake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m., and that they must not speak to the media.  “Some soldiers believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media,” one Medical Hold Unit soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.  It is unusual for soldiers to have daily inspections after Basic Training.  PLEASE GO TO CONGRESS DOT ORG OR YOUR CONGRESSPERSON'S WEB SITES AND ALSO WRITE THE PRESIDENT AND TELL THEM TO MAKE THE BRASS AT WALTER REED CUT THIS SHIT OUT.    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/27/AR2007022702116_pf.html  I'M GLAD THAT THOSE WITH MEDICAL INSURANCE IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE A CHOICE OF DOCTORS, BECAUSE THAT'S CERTAINLY WORTH THE LIFE OF A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD BOY. GOOD THING WE DON'T HAVE THAT EVIL SINGLE-PAYER UNIVERAL HEALTH CARE COVERAGE! FROM THE WASHINGTON POST:  Twelve-year-old Deamonte Driver died of a toothache Sunday.  A routine, $80 tooth extraction might have saved him.  If his mother had been insured.  If his family had not lost its Medicaid.  If Medicaid dentists weren't so hard to find.  If his mother hadn't been focused on getting a dentist for his brother, who had six rotted teeth.  By the time Deamonte's own aching tooth got any attention, the bacteria from the abscess had spread to his brain, doctors said. After two operations and more than six weeks of hospital care, the Prince George's County boy died.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/63796  WE NOW PRESENT POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR FRITZ'S ESSAY ENTITLED, ANNA NICOLE SMITH DIED OF PNEUMONIA.  Smith's life and death have become, for me, even more essentially contemporary than even Princess Diana's death. This story defines the celebrity age. Diana was killed by the paparazzi, and that has a certain manic zing to it, but ultimately she was still a person whos identity existed distinct from her celebrity.  Smith, whose real name was Vickie Lynn Marshall (nee' Hogan), was a cypher entirely created by her own celebrity. She was almost the ubermensch in a classically Nietzchean sense: she had embraced nihilism so completely, had so completely destroyed herself and her identity, and replaced it with an aesthetic identity, a pose, which obliterated all past, that she has come as close as most anyone else to the Over Man Nietzche describes.  And here, her physicality seeks its vengeance on her numinous self. She had Pneumonia, a diesease of the flesh, but she denied her own reality: apparently the pain killers she was taking aleviated her suffering, but masked how serious the real disease was. She died of pneumonia, feeling fine the whole way.  This is truth. And fact.  And now her orbit of mirrors, the lawyers and hangers on, and the discarded past as embodied by her corpulent mother, all

FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY TWENTY-EIGHTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN  A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .  http://www.mississauga.com/mi/news/story/3887975p-4496787c.html  A PLUCKY CANADIAN 12-YEAR-OLD WAS SILENCED BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR WRITING A HUMOROUS SPEECH ABOUT HOW BORED HE WAS IN FRENCH CLASS. Gianmarco Trimboli's father is livid that his son wasn't allowed to deliver his speech in front of his class, ACCORDING TO THE MISSISAGUA NEWS. HIS PRINCIPAL THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DISRESPECTFUL TO THE FRENCH TEACHER IF THE BOY -- WHO WON LAST YEAR'S SCHOOL SPEECH CONTEST -- READ IT OUT LOUD. DUDE, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY SUBMIT THAT TO THE RANT SECTION AT POORMOJO.ORG. POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE CONTRIBUTOR JIM'S COMMENT: Teaching lesson 1: Give a twelve year-old an inch and a vector on your position and that's an inch's running start.  http://www.aka.kite.org/data/download/pdf/Pamphlets/AKAPamphlet_fighters.pdf  YESTERDAY WE COVERED PAKISTAN'S ANNUAL KITE-STRING MASSACRE, IN WHICH DOZENS ARE MAIMED AND MURDERED BY STRAY BULLETS, SHARPENED KITE STRING AND FALLING OFF ROOFS AT A SPRING KITE FLYING FESTIVAL. JIM ONCE AGAIN ENLIGHTENS US WITH A LINK TO The American Kitefliers Association' PUBLICATION: "Flying Basics for Fighter Kites". CATCH THE PDF AT THE NEWSWIRE. JIM SAYS: You'll notice that the AKA doesn't recommend the use of dor (though I'm not sure if that's what it's called in Pakistan), or "glass-encrusted, sharp, stretched cotton kite line."  I've gotten to fly these kites a couple of times, and believe me... once you start to get the hang of it it's incredibly engrossing and fun, to the point that I can see how you might not notice if you accidentally beheaded a couple of kids downfield. Not sure how bullets entered the equation... but still.  http://rawstory.com/showarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fsfgate.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Farticle.cgi%3Ffile%3D%2Fc%2Fa%2F2007%2F02%2F27%2FMNGTCOBI921.DTL  Why would a newspaper in San Fransisco called AsianWEEK run an article by an avowed Asian Supremecist entitled "I Hate Blacks?" I guess it's refreshing to let a complete asshole be a complete asshole in print once in a while, and a nice slap in our complacent, 21st-Century faces to see such bald-faced, completely honest racism. Sickening, but perhaps necessary. FROM THE S-F GATE DOT COM ARTICLE: THE 20-YEAR-OLD COLUMNIST'S REASONS FOR HATING BLACK PEOPLE INCLUDE: "  -- "Blacks hate us. Every Asian who has ever come across them knows that they take almost every opportunity to hurl racist remarks at us."  -- "Contrary to media depictions, I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years."  -- "Blacks are easy to coerce. This is proven by the fact that so many of them, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, tend to be Christians."  I'm praying for this complete asshole. May he find inner peace, or a deep hole to crawl into. Or both.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 59 (64 kbps .mp3 9:21 4.7 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  Fun Fact: Elvis, JFK, Hoffa and Hitler are really dead.    IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY TWENTY-SEVENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    http://www.mlive.com/search/index.ssf?/base/news-0/117250460836450.xml?aanews?NEO&coll=2  Poor Mojo Editor Dave-o published the following in his hometown newspaper:  Monday, February 26, 2007  To: President George Bush  The White House  1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW  Washington, DC 20500  Dear Mr. President,  I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Yesterday our trees were full of robins eating juniper berries. I've lived in Michigan all of my life, and have never heard of a robin eating anything other than grubs or worms (and, perhaps, the occasional ripe cherry), and never seen a robin in early February.  Our winter almost didn't come this year: between October and mid-January, our temperatures rarely dipped below 40 degrees, hovering mostly between 50s and 60s - that's May weather here, shirt-sleeves weather. We had gnats and mosquitos in December. Then, in mid-January, the freeze snapped shut like a leg-hold trap, and we've since had weeks of single-digit cold, mornings so frigid that school is canceled because the buses won't start (also unprecedented in Michigan). Until February it never got cold enough for the ground to freeze, and so the robins never migrated. Now it's too late for them to leave, and they are starving and freezing.  Roughly 1,800 years ago, midway through the first millennium, there was a worldwide temperature drop of a bit more than two degrees. This caused the failure of Egyptian wheat crops. At the time Egypt was controlled by Rome, who relied on the ample harvest. Rome was a city of more than a million people, requiring 300,000 tons of grain per year to keep the citizens fed. Assuring an ample bread supply was a major hot-button political issue. Since the failed harvests meant no vast wheat surplus from within their empire, the Roman government needed to buy foreign grain. This caused a budget shortfall, and Rome was no longer able to afford their enormous army. Without consistent military protection, the fringes of the empire began to fray; barbarians succeeded more and more often in their looting raids, destabilizing the Roman hinterlands. Ultimately, Rome collapsed and the Dark Ages began, all because of a two-degree temperature drop.  Since I was born the mean worldwide temperature has risen about one degree, and is projected to rise another seven or eight during my infant son's lifetime - a precipitous, unprecedented climate shift. What does this mean? What will it mean?  My son is 9 months old, and our little family works to keep our carbon footprint small: we drive a hybrid, bike and walk whenever possible, buy our meat and produce locally whenever we can. All of our bulbs are fluorescent. We've blown in as much insulation as will fit in our attic, removed our old basement windows in favor of insulating glass blocks, and replaced our major appliances with Energy Star and high-efficiency models. We use cloth diapers, washing them ourselves in our high-efficiency washer. Most of what we own is recycled, reused or hand-me-down.  Still, by the time my son is my age - and certainly by the time he's yours - Michigan will have no winter.  This absolutely terrifies me. It terrifies me more than war, more than our growing domestic poverty, more than terrorism. I'm a registered voter, a participant in our democracy, and I want to know what you are doing about this now, today. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.  All best,  David Erik Nelson    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://www.breakingnews.ie/World/?jp=CWSNSNGBGBSN&rss=rss2  IF THIS IS FEBRUARY, IT MUST BE KITESTRING DECAPTIATION TIME IN PAKISTAN.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 55 (64 kbps .mp3 10:31 4.8 Mb)  A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  Avenging the death of our parents.    IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY TWENTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    POOR MOJO'S ALMANAC(K)EDITOR IN CHIEF THE GIANT SQUID PENNED THIS EPISTLE REGARDING FAT TUESDAY SOME YEARS AGO, BUT THE MESSAGE IS STILL TIMELY.  http://www.poormojo.org/cgi-bin/gennie.pl?Squid+74+bi This past Yule Time, it seems, Sang acquired a most curious chart. This is a paperboard diptych, mounted vertically (the one paper pane directly above the other.) The upper pane features a depiction of human infants disguised to appear to be various fruits, vegetables and other flora, and the bottom pane consists of a grid. This paper grid tracks the days present in each surface month, and while such a makeshift calendar is quite insufficient (lacking any notations viz. the movements of embracing-cold and treacherous warm currents, migratory patterns of clams or whales, or any real tracking of astral events apart from a simplistic charting of the phases of Earth Moon), it is a nonetheless the sort of quaint folkcraft which seems to brighten the drear of many an office chimp's day.  And, while this calendar grid is quite deficient in managing any of the important data of the day-to-day, it does contain a great wealth of information on the spiritual events which do not simply dot or punctuate your year, but quite nearly overrun it altogether, like barnacles about the stubled jaw of a hunchbaked whale. I was unaware that you grunties exist in such an ecstatic state of perpetual religious and civic zeal. It is impressive, indeed.  While gazing at the buttercup-themed babies-- or, quite plausibly baby-corpses, for the infants photographed do have a terrible stillness about them-- adorning Sang's day-grid, I happened to note an annual celebration most fascinating:  February the Twentieth: Chinese New Years Lincoln's Birthday Mardi Gras.  TO READ THE REST, AND LEARN THE SECRET OF THE POONCHSKI, HEAD TO POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE.    http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2007/02/indignant_and_illegal_fictions.html FREE SPEECH? WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT PLACES... IN THE UK, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S THE Terrorism Act of 2006. CHARLIE, FROM ANTI POPE DOT COM, WILL EXPLAIN: Among other things, this piece of legislation created several new crimes — including the rather peculiar one of "glorifying terrorism". The proximate justification for this offense seems to be public indignation at the sight of preachers praising suicide bombers in Iraq and Israel from the pulpit, but the effect of it is corrosive — it undermines political free speech. Just consider for a moment the vexing question of who is, or isn't, a terrorist. Is Nelson Mandela? Certainly if this law had been on the books in the 1980s it's possible that supporters of the ANC would have been prosecuted. Is the animal rights movement supportive of terrorists? Is Sinn Fein? Once you get into the gritty business of trying to pin down who is and isn't a terrorist you end up with a peculiar conjugation: "I am a freedom fighter, you are a guerilla, they are terrorists"    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!   http://consumerist.com/consumer/clips/jetblue-announces-passenger-bill-of-rights-238037.php IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE JET BLUE SAGA, YOU KNOW THAT NEW YORK CITY'S BUSIEST AIRLINE COLLAPSED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF LAST WEDNESDAY'S SNOW STORMS AND HAD TO CANCEL HUNDREDS OF FLIGHTS ALL WEEKEND TO BECOME FUNCTIONAL AGAIN.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN ONLINE SAYS RESARCHERS HAVE PINPOINTED TWO GENETIC CULPRITS IN THE LARGEST GENOME SCAN EVER CONDUCTED TO PINPOINT AUTISM. the genomes of 1,168 families WERE COMPARED WITH THOSE OF at least two autism sufferers.

A national survey of 18-to-29-year-olds by the Pew Research Center reported that almost 60 percent were not in committed relationships and the majority of those were not interested in being committed. ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST, Absent old-fashioned dating, which has virtually disappeared, the alternative for these young women is hooking up, which can happen in any semi-private place and includes anything from kissing to intercourse.  http://www.wlns.com/Global/story.asp?S=6105287&nav=0RbQ  JET BLUE, THE AIRLINE THAT STRANDED PASSENGERS IN NEW YORK IN PLANES WITH NO AIR, WATER AND CLOGGED-UP CRAPPERS FOR UP TO 10 HOURS ON WEDNESDAY, CANCELLED ALL FLIGHTS THIS WEEKEND IN AND EFFORT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN, ACCORDING TO W-L-N-S DOT COM. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/02/16/MNGGHO5PU71.DTL POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO POSTED UP AN ARTICLE ABOUT A PASSENGER'S BILL OF RIGHTS THAT HAS BEEN MAKING THE ROUNDS SINCE IT WAS WRITTEN BY ANOTHER ALUMINIUM TUBE FULL OF ENRAGED PASSENGERS MOVING ZERO MILES PER HOUR.... HIS TAKE ON IT:  What people are asking for is that airlines not be allowed to hold them indefinitely in a plane. 11 hours without food, water, insulin, baby food, etc. is just plain uncivilized. This is very sensible, but will be very difficult to get passed unless some big name Congressperson takes up the fight.

THE BAD NEWS -- HOUSING WILL BE TIGHT, BUT AGING BABY BOOMERS MAY HELP SOLVE SOME OF THAT PROBLEM BY MOVING INTO SMALLER QUARTERS IN MORE HIGH-DENSITY AREAS.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070216/ap_on_re_us/winter_weather  DUMB-ASSED OFFICIALS IN PENNSYLVANIA CONTINUED TO LET CARS ENTER INTERSTATE 78 FOR MORE THAN A DAY AFTER IT BECAME IMPASSABLE DUE TO SNOW AND ICE THIS PAST WEEK. WIRE SERVICES REPORTED THAT GOVERNOR ED RENDELL FELL ON HIS SWORD AND CITED AN ALMOST TOTAL BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STATE AGENCIES FOR PENNSYLVANIA'S DUMB-ASSEDNESS.  http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/02/15/BAG6RO4VDQ1.DTL  HOW DO TEENS FEEL AFTER SEX? LIKE ROLLING OVER AND GOING TO SLEEP? LIKE GETTING A PIZZA? LIKE WRITING BAD POETRY? LIKE CHEAP WHORES? A UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SURVEY CITED IN S-F GATE DOT COM FOUND Of the 618 students Followed from their freshman year OF HIGH SCHOOL, 44 percent reported having intercourse or oral sex by the end of 10th grade. A majority said they enjoyed sex, ESPECIALLY ORAL SEX, BUT FOUND THAT IT DID NOT PROVIDE THE INTMACY THEY CRAVED. Forty-one percent said they felt bad about themselves later, nearly 20 percent felt guilty, and 25 percent felt used.   http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/6371901.stm A DUCK WITH FOUR FEET IS THRIVING IN HAMPSIRE, ENGLAND, ACCORDING THE B-B-C.

AND IF YOU MUST EAT PEANUT BUTTER, MAKE IT ORGANIC.   http://www.poormojo.org/cgi-bin/gennie.pl?Squid AND NOW, ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN FROM POOR MOJO'S OWN THE GIANT SQUID. TODAY'S QUESTION  Dear Giant Squid,  I was wondering why throw up smells so bad. Why does it have to have this odor. Couldn't it smell a little better. What do you think?  Signed,  Jonnie Twobags  Here is a preview of his answer.  Dear Jonnie Two Bags,  As I write this it is the day of Saint Valentine, named for the patron saint martyred via electro-chair after he slew a crowd of cupids in the ancient Grecian city-state of Chi Cago. It is also the day of Lupercalia, known to some as the Day of the Amorous Wolf. Warren Ellis, Chief Propagandist for the Internets, has taken to calling this the day of the Horny Werewolf. As ever, his reasoning is obscure, but propitious:  In ancient times those beset by Love would flee through the dusty streets of Rome, driven before men wearing wolf masks and bearing scourges. The masked men -- symbolic of the lunar-locked wolfish demi-men, who founded Rome-Upon-the-Hills -- would whipcrack upon the Love-struck, tearing their amorous backs to tatters. If their Love survived the onslaught, then it was true and blessed -- although, until the lacerations healed, it was awkward, and generally insisted on "standing quickies" or the "modele du chien" rather than the posture of the missionary saints. If their Love failed the test and fled from the whip-flurried streets, then it was but a fleeting fancy, and unfit to be called Love. "Let it live out its days alone in the hills beyond our Hills," the Romans would say, "Let it masturbate in the dust and dirt, among the thorned bushes, lubricated only with its own pitiful tears. It is not worthy of lycant hropic cupidites such as we."  TO HEAR THE REST, GO TO POOR MOJO DOT ORG.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!   http://environment.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn11190&feedId=online-news_rss20 The EARTH'S hum is a low rumble continually present in the ground even when there are no earthquakes happening, but is detectable only by very sensitive seismometers. Its frequency is near 10 millihertz, below the range of human hearing, ACCORDING TO NEW SCIENTIST. WHAT'S CAUSING IT? JAPANESE RESEARCHERS SAID IT WAS THE WIND POUNDING THE EARTH'S SURFACE, BUT AN AMERICAN SCIENTIST HAS DETERMINED THE HUM COMES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.   http://www.azstarnet.com/business/169072 POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO SAYS THAT IF BANK OF AMERICA WANTS TO EXTEND CREDIT TO ILLEGAL ALIENS, WHY THE HELL NOT? Their money spends just as well as everyone else's. USED TO be you had TO HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND A CREDIT HISTORY TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT...

B-B-C NEWS REPORTS RESEARCHERS HAVE DICOVERED A DEEP-SEA SQUID IN THE PACIFIC THAT DISABLES ITS PREY WITH LASER BEAMS THAT SHOOT OUT OF ITS BODY! WELL, Okay, so not lasers per se, but really flashes of light. It's still cool. FROM THE ARTICLE: THE Big deep-sea squid emit blinding flashes of light as they attack their prey...

Walton AND SPECIAL PROSECUTOR PATRICK FITZGERALD, TESTIFY AT LIBBY'S FEDERAL PERJURY TRIAL? WELL, OKAY, THE SMART MONEY WAS ON THEM NOT TESTIFYING, AS THEY WOULD HAVE HAD EITHER TO LIE OR TAKE THE FIFTH. TURNS OUT, THOUGH, THAT STIFFING the JUDGE WAS ANYTHING BUT SMART. ACCORDING TO WIRE SERVICE REPORTS, JUDGE WALTON REFUSED TO PERMIT LIBBY'S ATTORNEYS TO SUBMIT CLASSIFIED EVIDENCE THAT LIBBY WAS SO CONSUMED WITH IMPORTANT STUFF THAT HE FORGOT THAT CHENEY TOLD HIM THAT VALERY PLAME WAS AN UNDERCOVER NON-OFFICIAL COVER C-I-A AGENT. THAT'S WHY, ACCORDING TO HIM, THE FIRST TIME HE REMEMBERED HEARING THAT WAS FROM NBC NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF TIM RUSSERT. RUSSERT SPENT EIGHT HOURS ON THE STAND LAST WEEK REPEATING OVER AND OVER THAT THIS WAS STONE BULLSHIT. WITHOUT THE IMPRESSIVE CLASSIFIED STUFF THE JUDGE REFUSED TO HEAR, LIBBY'S CASE APPEARS PRETTY SHAKEY, AND WALTON IS FURIOUS. HE'S STAKED HIS REPUTATION ON HIS CALL TO STIFF LIBBY, SAYING IN RESPONSE TO LIBBY'S ATTORNEY'S PROMISE TO APPEAL: "If that's what the Supreme Court is going to say (in any ruling on an appeal), they might as well say the government's not entitled to a fair trial and the defendant is," Walton said. "I think both sides are entitled to a fair trial. If I get reversed on that, maybe I need to hang up my spurs." YOU Don't piss off a judge. YOU just don't.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 50 (64 kpbs .mp3 9:43 4.6 Mb)  Throwing stones at Snoopy.    IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY FORTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/13/issa-contractors/  Republican Representative Darrell Issa asked a pretty screwed-up question at a hearing last week, according to the Think Progress blog. It was the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigation into why mercenary supplier and contractor Blackwater USA stonewalled the mothers and widows of their employees who got themselves killed, burnt, dragged through the streets and hung from a bridge in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004. The relatives read a prepared statement, as everyone does who speaks before a congressional hearing. They think Blackwater is trying to cover up its own wrongdoing in the mercs deaths.  So this Darrell Issa character pipes up. He asks the ladies as soon as they've finished their statement, "I don’t think your testimony today is particularly germane to the oversight of this committee.” He added, “One question I have is, the opening statement, who wrote it?” Think progress reported the mercs relatives said it was a compilation of the four of them touched up by their attorney.  Issa's colleages thought his question was, to put it more bluntly than they could, fucked up. What does he have to gain from jacking around grieving mothers and widows? On the committee, Illinois Democrat Jan Schakowsky defended the ladies, saying: “I think clearly the implication was that somehow these wonderful women couldn’t possibly have written that wonderful, heartfelt testimony and that it took a lawyer in order to put it together, and I resent that very much.” Another congressman on the panel was more direct: Stephen Lynch of Massachussetts observed, “I’ve only sat through several hundred, maybe 1,000 hearings, and that is the first time as a member of Congress that I have heard any witnesses asked who wrote their opening statements.”  Who is this jackass Darrell Issa? Well, conservative columnist Debbie Schlussel has a lot to say about him. Now, I think Debbie is a painfully awful conservative screecher, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. In one column at political U-S-A DOT COM entitled Darrell Issa: Traitor, or useful idiot?, Schlussel details the represenative's long-time defense of and praise for the the terrorist group Hezbollah - "I have a great deal of sympathy for the work that Hezbollah tries to do," she quotes Issa saying, one imagines referring to WHEN THEY BLEW UP 241 MARINES IN BERIUT IN THE EARLY 80'S. IN ANOTHER SCHLUSSEL COLUMN IN WORLD NET DAILY, WE GET THIS: A multi-millionaire car-alarm magnate who bought his election, Darrell built a long, solid record of dishonesty,...His "rise to wealth had been accompanied by questionable events," the Washington Post reported. In his youth, he stole cars for a living, culminating in a 1972 grand jury indictment for car theft. A damning 1998 Los Angeles Times article reported that Issa allegedly threatened a former business partner at gunpoint and that arson was suspected in a mysterious 1982 fire at Issa's well-insured Ohio plant. Issa practically admitted holding his associate at gunpoint. "Shots were never fired," he said as justification in the San Francisco Examiner. Okay, so that's the kind of jackass we have in cute, cuddly Darrell Issa -- the guy who speNT TWO MILILION DOLLARS TO GET CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GREY DAVIS RECALLED SO HE COULD RUN, ONLY TO COME IN DEAD LAST IN THE PRIMARY, ACED OUT BY AN AGING ACTION-MOVIE ACTOR FROM AUSTRIA. ISSA'S RESPONSE? TO WEEP OPENLY IN PUBLIC LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070213/ap_on_re_as/koreas_nuclear POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW EDITOR MOJO CELEBRATES THE NEW SIX-COUNTRY AGREEMENT THAT HAS NORTH KOREA PROMISING TO DISMATLE ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM.

A daily roundup of things that seemed important.  Needlessly confrontational.   IT’S POOR MOJO’S NEWS SHOW! FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY THIRTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN.    A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT .    http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-intel12feb12,0,1642172.story?coll=la-home-headlines How could anyone have the balls to say that manufacturing false foreign intelligence and lying about it was good government?! YET, SOMEHOW, FORMER UNDERSECRETARY FOR DEFENSE DOUGLAS FEITH, MUSTERS UP THE BALLS TO SAY JUST THAT, ACCORDING TO THE L-A TIMES. FEITH CALLED THE CHERRY-PICKING OF INTELLIGENCE ABOUT IRAQ'S NON-EXISTANT WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRCUTION "HEALTHY" -- AS IN, I'T'S HEALTHY TO CRITICIZE CIA INTELLIGENCE." LAST TIME I CHECKED, "CRITICIZE" HAD A DIFFERENT MEANTING THAN "DISTORT." SPINNING LIKE MAD ON FOX NEWS SUNDAY, FEITH -- NOW A GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR -- SAID: "Nobody in my office ever said there was an operational relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda." CRITICS IMMEDIATELY CALLED BULLSHIT. Larry C. Johnson, a former State Department and CIA counterterrorism official SAID IN AN INTERVIEW SUNDAY: "It's an abject lie, and it completely ignores what is in the documented public record," "I think the problem is across the board that we have convenient memory loss. No one wants to go back and hold people accountable to what they were doing." LIKE LYING US INTO A WAR OF AGGRESSION. FUN FACT NUMBER ONE -- NEOCONSERVATIVE FEITH HAS A DUAL MEMBERSHIP IN THE PROJECT FOR A NEW AMERICAN CENTURY COMMITTEE AND THE ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA, ACCORDING TO REPORTER DOUG IRELAND. FUN FACT NUMBER TWO: FEITH'S SUBORDINATE AT THE PENTAGON -- LAWRENCE FRANKLIN -- WAS SENTENCED TO THIRTEEN YEARS IN PRISION IN JANUARY FOR PASSING DOCUMENTS TO THE AMERICAN ISRAEL PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE WHICH THEY IMMEDIATELY FORWARED TO ISRAEL.    http://www.juancole.com/2007/02/nyt-falls-for-bogus-iran-weapons.html WE MENTIONED A JUAN COLE ARTICLE YESTERDAY. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PROFESSOR COLE ACCUSED THE NEW YORK TIMES OF LYING RECENTLY ABOUT IRAN'S ROLE IN IRAQ ON HIS INFORMED COMMENT BLOG. THE TIMES SAID IRAN SUPPLIES THE HIGH-EXPLOSIVE MORTARS WHICH HAVE REPLACED IMPROVIZED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AS THE PREFERRED WEAPON AGAINST U-S HUM-VEES. THE TIMES SAID IRAN WAS THEREBY RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING JUST UNDER TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF ALL U-S CAUALTIES IN IRAQ IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. COLE CALLS BULLSHIT, BECAUSE HE READS THE DAILY CASUALTY REPORTS AND SAYS THE FIGHTING IS TAKING PLACE MAINLY IN SUNNI STRONGHOLDS THROUGHTOUT IRAQ, -- AND WHY WOULD SHIITE IRAN GIVE THOSE GUYS STATE OF THE ART EXPLOSIVE GRENADES?  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/11/wiran511.xml POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO POST A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE CAPTURED ORDINANCE, AND SON OF A GUN IF THE ALLEGEDLY IRANIAN-PRODUCED MORTARS. have lables written in ENGLISH, AND CHRISTIAN CLENDAR NOTATION, NOT MUSLIM CALENDAR NOTATION.    THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article1361968.ece REMEMBER SIF AND OLLI ON MTV? NO, OF COURSE YOU DON'T REMEMBER THESE LESS-THAN-FAMOUS T-V SOCK PUPPETS OF YESTERYEAR, BECAUSE THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH UNMEMERABLE. THE UNITED KINGDOM IS OUT TO GET SOCK PUPPETS OF ANOTHER KIND -- FAKE BLOGGERS WHO PIMP THEIR OWN PRODUCTS, RESTAURANTS, BOOKS ONLINE. GET IT? THE TIMES ONLINE SAYS THE NEW LAW WILL NAME AND SHAME PERPATRATORS OF SUCH LAME BEHAVIOR. THE ARTICLE SAYS THAT Fake blog entries or whole wesbites purporting to be from customers will fall foul of a European directive banning them from “falsely representing oneself as a consumer”.    http://www.gamestyle.net/news/2899 IF ONLY REAL LIFE CAME WITH THE NEW ASSHOLE BUTTON, NOW AVAILABLE IN THE HALO THREE VIDEO GAME. MOJO IS THRILLED! HE SAYS: Mute a player. Forever. This would have increased my enjpyment of Halo 2 by about 9,000% if I'd had it there

PROBLEM BEING, THE ONLY PLACE AN IRAQI CAN GET ONE IS IN BAGHDAD - IT MAY BE YEARS BEFORE THEIR EMBASSIES GET THE EQUIPMENT TO MAKE THEM. THE ARTICLE QUOTES Samir Sumaida'ie, Iraq's ambassador to the United States: it would be an extreme hardship for most Iraqis abroad to make such a trip.  http://gaygamer.net/2007/02/cheating_scandal_rocks_eve_onl_1.html  MOJO GIVES US THE LOWDOWN ON A CHEATING SCANDAL HITTING THE M-M-O-R-P-G WORLD...In a nutshell: employees and GMs for EVE Online also play the game. They have been caught giving their guilds/friends free equipment and cash in-game. This uttery ruins the economy and is about as unfair as possible. It's the equivalent of playing Monopoly against someone and having the banker give them all the money and properties before the game even starts. SADLY, THE GAY GAMER DOT NET ARTICLE POINTS OUT THAT THE COMPANY BEHIND EVE ONLINE, CCP, FOCUES ON WHICH PLAYERS MAY HAVE RECEIVED HELP IN THE DISTANT PAST, RATHER THAN WHICH OF ITS CURRENT EMPLOYEES ARE CHEATERS.
