Hey, what's up, people? Are you wearing pants? It is In De Pants Day weekend, so come on, show your national pride and wear pants. What, it's In Depends Day?
Hey, up above you can see the knowwar photo I worked on a few weeks ago. The photographer, Zach Gold just sent it to us, and said to post it and show it and spread the word. So here it is. Feel free to pass it on. I hope it will get a lot of attention. I think it is an awesome photo and I was damn proud to be a part of it. 2500 hundred Americans dead in Iraq - and counting!
Remember I told you that about 50 of us showed up in the desert and we kept moving around in a group and Zach stitched it all together to make it look like 2500 of us? Well last week I had a job where we did the same thing, but it wasn't as much fun, or exciting or will it help stop the violence in Iraq or end the killing.
It was a photo for a brochure for a car company, and 50 of us moved around the seats of the Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA to make it look like 1600 people were watching a new car on stage. No heat. No dust, No burrs. No righteous anger at the stupid war.
And speaking of stupid war, as if it wasn't just the most outrageous travesty, now two American soldiers are accused of targeting, raping, and killing a Iraqi woman, and then her family to cover it up. Oh, and let's burn her house down too while we're at it.
Come on, guys, you're wearing 70 pounds of body armor, it's 120 degrees out. Are you getting all hot and bothered about a woman in a Burkha? What, did she show some ankle? These guys need a break. Obviously, not everyone can handle the stress very well. Bring these guys home. We really gotta get out of there. They are losing control, shooting at anything, and we are losing the war.
Speaking of war, are you out blowing shit up this weekend? Watch your fingers, though, you may need them on Wednesday. I personally don't like the sound of fireworks going off in my neighborhood. First there's the BOOM of an M80 or some such stupidity, followed by a car alarm or two. It's very distracting when I'm trying to watch Matlock reruns in Spanish.
It's been building up for weeks now. Tomorrow, the third, should be a blast!
Happy Birthday to all the July babies out there. I know quite a few of you.
And Happy Birthday, America. How old are you now? When will you grow up?

Hi Noel,
Wow, what an effort to put that photo together! Thank you for your comment on my blog -- and glad to see you're writing and not selling cheap pills! Sheesh, what people will do to push v1A6gra! As if we don't have enough testosterone on the planet.
The horror of the latest revelation about our own soldiers plotting the plan and then carrying it out to gang rape a GIRL -- she was 15 years old, by the way, a fact kept purposely muted in the media -- 15 years old!!! -- and killing her and her family, including a 7 year old sibling.... How can we ever repair what we have done? We are not Darfur! I wrote in an outrage to both of CA senators and my representative telling them to bring our soldiers home now and completely retrain them. They learn what is acceptable from the example set by our leaders and we must take responsibility for this. Hatred breeds hatred. Macho need for control and dominence breeds more of the same. Macho is finished on this planet.
The ex-soldier who is the first to be charged grew up in the very same hometown in Texas as George and Laura Bush ... some huge hatred of Iraqis and human beings for that matter going on in that part of Texas.
