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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

IF YOU LIVE IN WASHTINGTON, D.C. AND PAID TO HAVE A HIGH-PRICED CALL GIRL DIAPER YOU AND GIVE YOU A BOTTLE, OR STICK A FEATHER DUSTER UP YOUR ASS AND CALL YOU A PIG, OR SIMPLY GIVE YOU A BLOW JOB, YOU MAY BE IN TROUBLE. S-F GATE DOT COM REPORTS THAT A Vallejo woman indicted on federal racketeering charges for allegedly running a $2 million prostitution ring in Washington, D.C., is threatening to sell 46 pounds of detailed phone records of her clients to help pay for her defense, her attorney in a civil suit said FRIDAY.

ARE Richard Wright, TONI MORRISON AND KURT VONNEGUT'S WRITINGS PORNOGRAPHIC? ONLY A DICKHEAD WOULD ASK THE QUESTION. ENTER Vicki Fyke of the Livingston Organization for Values in Education, WHO WAS DICKHEAD ENOUGH TO FILE A FEDERAL COMPLAINT THAT THE AUTHORS' WORKS violate laws against distribution of pornography to minors because they contain depictions of sex and rape, and obscene language. BOOKNINJA DOT COM SAYS THAT The office of U.S. Attorney Stephen J. Murphy IS DICKHEADED ENOUGH TO FORWARD THE COMPLAINT TO SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND THE F-B-I.

Michael Duplessis loves Chicago so much that he wanted its nickname tattooed on his chest.

But the idea went terribly awry in a North Side tattoo parlor: He left with the word "CHI-TONW" inked into his skin where "CHI-TOWN" should have been, ACCORDING TO THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. SO, NATURALLY, DUPLEISS HAS SUED HIS TATOO PARLOR AND ARTIST FOR DAMAGES, AND BY DOING SO, CEMENTS HIS REPUTATION AS A MORON FOR SPREADING WORD OF HIS MISTAKE TO AN AUDIENCE OF MILLIONS.

The US Post Office has REMOVED clocks from 37,000 postal outlets in order to alleviate the problem of people feeling like they're waiting in line for TOO long, ACCORDING TO BOING-BOING DOT COM. A clockless atmosphere will apparently encourage a state of meditative interest in the workings of the postal service, without distracting with the sense of time's fleeting passage.

A TAMPA MAN CAN NO LONGER MOVE, THANKS TO AN UNDERCOOKED CHICKEN BURRITO, ACCORDING TO A WIRE SERVICE REPORT. Roger Anderson and his lawyer said he ate the burrito at a Moe's Southwest Grill in Land O' Lakes on Sept. 30, only to be sickened shortly after with stomach cramps, diarrhea and joint pains. The burrito, they said, caused a bacterial infection, which led to a disease that affects the body's nerves.

AND FINALLY, OUR OWN EDITOR DAVE-O SAYS THAT MANNISH, FUGLY PUNDIT ANNE COULTER CallED DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN Edwards "Nigger," THEN GOT Paid FOR IT AND Applauded. DAVE-O WRITES: OK, I lied; Anne called Edwards a "faggot", not a "nigger", but what's the difference? She could have called him a "poopy-head" or tried to kiss him on the playground and then stuck a "KICK ME" sign on his back. The fact that we, as Americans, countenance someone participating in our public political discourse in such a manner -- the fact that she receives one red cent for her middle school antics -- utterly destroys any faith in our democracy I could conceivably develop at any time in the future.

Hey, Jesus, JFK, MLK, RFK, Lincoln: Guess what? You died in vain! Ann Coulter -- her vibrant career, the fact that people DO NOT shun her the way they do the pitiful, unmedicated homeless humps begging at the bus stop -- is the living, breathing proof that you suffered and died FOR NOTHING!

To hell with all these politicos; I'm voting for Ajai Raj!

RAJ, OF COURSE, IS THE UNIVERSITY OF Texas at Austin STUDENT WHO was arrested AT A PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGMENT for asking Ann Coulter what she thinks of heterosexual marriages where the man fucks his wife in the ass all of the time.

OUR THEME SONG IS AN UNTITLED PIECE FROM THE DISC "HIMNO NASIONAL" BY THE FIGURES, AVAILABLE AT FINGERPRINT DASH RECORDS DOT COM.
