What is it with lesbians and astrology? Just read a big article by Mad Jeanette Winterson in Vogue about astrology, the gist of which was, 'It's not like I'm one of those nutters who believes in astrology. It's just that astrology is completely true and it works.'

Condi wouldn't win. She's got no personality. Plus she's unmarried, thus evidently a slut, an inadequate, or an astrology-obsessed invert.

an interesting (if bonkers) thoery on the october suprise i heard in nyc- bush gets offed in some way; i dunno, let's say terrorist assassination; next condoleeza rice goes for office and wins a landslide victory after getting the "womans'", "blacks'" and conservative votes.

it must be pointed out that this came from a six foot, bleached haired lesbian, who didn't stop talking at me from the minute i walked in her shop, 'til the minute i ran away with tinitus.

other topics included her her upcoming date with a playboy centrefold(who was also an astrologer), and why virgan women should never be trusted.

I have read (or maybe it was a plotline on The West Wing) that there are certain left-wing and/or black Democrats who favour the reintroduction of the draft as a means to render the make-up of the army more representative - i.e. to ensure that rich white kids are obliged to die for their country as well as poor black ones. In Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore establishes that only one Congressman has a child out in Iraq. So he stands outside Congress with a petition asking all of them to back up their support for the war by signing up their children for the army. They don't. (Indeed, they run away, quite fast.)

god, that is scary - i remember my brother dreading turning 18 when we lived in south africa, purely because he would have had to do two years compulsory national service in the army - i see such drafts as an abuse of your basic human rights, no-one should ever be forced to fight for their corrupt, evil money grabbing government

i only hope americans are smart enough to get rid of monkey-boy and his evil administration before they find themselves 'fighting for their country'

thanks for that jack. it just started getting some coverage on radio free america yesterday (thanks to al franken) so hopefully that'll make the conservative show hosts bash the liberal talk show hosts' lack of patriotism, which should in turn ensure that the story, now sensationalized, will be picked up by the major US newspapers. anyway, i've sent your link to all my friends here in the hope that those who can actually vote will do something about it.
