A fair and balanced quadruple pangram of exactly 400 letters -- Richard Brodie, 09:58:10 03/24/03 Mon

The United States and one European ally launch an extremely powerful and amazing Shock and Awe technique in an offensive war with Saddam Hussein, unleashing from jets rockets that zoom unerroneously in, attacking with exact accuracy to explode on objectives in Iraq's sorely dazed capital city of Baghdad, and so easily inflicting the maximum injury by quickly vaporizing the major government headquarter buildings and leader hideouts, and say that oil is not the aim or any reason.
=
A Zionist inspired leader of America, George Walker Bush, and Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the UK, expect an angry Arab world to answer "Oh Yes!" and then just cave in quietly and rejoice, when they expand and advance harmfully in tanks loosed on the lands of a sovereign kingdom, and vanquish it in one totally crazy, hazardous, inhumanitarian quest, without any excuse or much justification recognized, as they come and exploit its subjects, smugly claiming a duty to halt the menace of Al Qaida.

The New Forum -- Larry Brash, 23:31:18 03/23/03 Sun

Just a note to let people know we have finished beta-testing the in-house forum.

A big thanks to those who offered constructive criticisms and suggestions, many, but not all, of which we were able to implement. Thanks in particular to Wordminer and Jesse F. who spent 2-3 days testing everything.

There are some shortcomings with the new setup, in particular, the inability to move threads with new additions up to the top of the page. Also, the order that follow-up messages are placed does not work too well. We hope to overcome this in time.

However, we have added many features that are unavailable in voy.com, and the speed is much, much faster than voy.com. People were impressed with the difference.

We think that you will all think that the change will be worthwhile.

We hope to be open it in the next 2-3 days, after a bit of final tidying up.

Larry
[7217]

[> Moving threads up -- Paul Pan, 18:06:25 03/24/03 Mon

It is indeed much much faster and more elegant. Great job, Larry and Ricard!
I strongly believe that the inability to move threads with new additions is not a matter of substance. In fact I feel that it I much less confusing to leave original postings in chronological order. How do you fellow reprobates feel about this?
[7230]

[> [> Re: Moving threads up -- Stuart, 09:19:45 03/25/03 Tue

Though not a reprobate (I haven't even received my first probate), I agree with leaving threads in chronological order. Less confusing. Still easy enough to see replies.

It was heartbreaking to find out about the death of Rachel Corrie run over by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza. What is troubling about it is that a young woman with a fiery personality would travel to a combat zone to put her and others in a very dangerous situation. What was Rachel Corrie doing in front of a bulldozer in Gaza from all places? Israel is an American ally and an American passport does insure a preferential treatment in that country. Unfortunately, when the bullets are flying it is hard to check the identity of a person. Our president, George W. Bush, has said that in a war "some unintended casualties are inevitable".

Gaza is the hotbed for the Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, etc. terrorists, homicide bombers that perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The demolition of houses, as unfortunate as it is, happens to be a necessary deterrent in the conflict against the terrorists. America has gone halfway across the world to fight the terrorist evil. Israel is fighting that evil right in her own backyard. It is known that Israel gives the civilians residing in the buildings an advance notice. The innocent Israeli and even some American citizens who were blown up into pieces by the homicide Palestinian Arab terrorists did not get such notices. The Palestinian Arab leadership has integrated the killings of the innocent civilians into their strategy to defeat and destroy Israel. This is a conflict that is being waged not just on the battlefield but also in the media. In fact, it is expected that Iraq will do exactly the same.

Activism is great! However, it must be combined with a good common sense of reality. Just because Israel is a democratic, open society with more reporters per square mile than any other place on this planet, there is no guarantee of safety when one departs for Gaza, the hub of the Hamas terrorists.

There are many other troubled spots in the world like Chechnya, the Indian province of Kashmir, Columbia, the Philippines, Nigeria, Somalia, etc., that require the activists' attention. However, the networks cannot afford the liability insurance rates that are required to sent the reporters in there. Consequently, the reporting from such places is limited and does not generate the strong emotions.

The late Rachel Corrie had great and honorable intentions. Unfortunately she channeled them in the wrong direction.

This pathetic propaganda blitz merits an anagrammatic retort!

The late Corrie's astonishing heroic act *was* quite disquieting and irresponsible; as are the shiniest heroic altruistic feats; as are outbursts of the heart during hostilities. Her antithetical actions contain the titanic, heroic, ingredients separating man from a beast.

Criticising her faith, her infinite heart? Let's not incite, taint, incriminate, nor castigate the victim: that is too irritating, acerbic, indecent a tactic, I attest, quite in rage!

No sinister mafia-chief institution militia shotguns hit or bat Corrie; no heathen Palestinian terrorist thief beat, stoned or hit her. She was intentionally throttled afoot to tatters, liquefied to death, by an obscene sadistic occupation-authorities' bulldozer tractor operator, a bitter, inapt eradicating *putz* sans IQ! Let's not lose perspective!

A titanic peace architect, a spirit afire, was she; a riant US citizen, a peripatetic tigress hit at heart. Rest in peace!

I present her swan song, an attestation to all those who belittle her act:

" I ...have ... few words to describe what I see. ... I don't know if ... the children here have ever existed without tank-shell holes in their walls ... an occupying army surveying them ... The children ... get me to practice my limited Arabic ... asking ... "Kaif Sharon?" "Kaif Bush?" and ... laugh when I say "Bush Majnoon" "Sharon Majnoon" back. (How is Sharon? ...Bush? Bush is crazy. Sharon is crazy.) But once you have seen the ocean and lived in a silent place, where water is taken for granted and not stolen in the night by bulldozers, and ...once you....spent an evening when you haven't wondered if the walls of your home might suddenly fall ... and ...met people who have never lost anyone ...the reality of a world that isn't surrounded by murderous ... tanks, armed "settlements" ... a giant metal wall, I wonder if you can forgive the world for all the years of your childhood spent existing... ... the people here are themselves or are descendants of people who were relocated here from their homes in historic Palestine ... Currently, the Israeli army is building a fourteen-meter-high wall between Rafah ...and the border... a no-mans land from the houses along the border. ...homes have been ... bulldozed ...I am just beginning to learn, from ... a very intense tutelage, about the ability of people to organize against all odds, and to resist against all odds."

Indeed, mine aren't B&W as well, but I definitely hold some views, partly because I *have* to. As an Israeli, I can say with some certainty Roger is, IMO, a bit clueless as to the situation in Israel; I'm sorry if this offends him. Hell, maybe I'm not sorry, I'm just so upset right now.

I am fortunate enough not to have experienced the curse of war and bloodshed.

The Day Before War -- David Bourke, 10:31:24 03/17/03 Mon


THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes - how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

THE DAY BEFORE WAR

'Twas the day before war, when in The White House,
The President cursed: "Why, that damn Arab louse!
I have unfinished business to do for my Pa!",
That hick Texan cowboy then shouted: "Yee-hah!"

Then missiles were primed in the launchers with care,
In the hope that soon Baghdad would no more be there,
With Stealth jets, heavy tanks, and the Gulf full of ships,
He thought of the conflict, and then licked his lips.

"Now, Donald! Now, Dick! Now, Condi! Now, Colin!
What say that we take out that raghead? Get rollin!
Now Wolfie! Now Scooter! Now, Jumper! Now, Tom!
Why, let's deal with Saddam! Away now! Let's bomb!"

When down the chimney came Blair (with the lovely Cherie),
Dressed all flash, in plum. (Oh, a daft sight to see!).
He high-fived, and he smiled like a smug Cheshire cat,
And then, like a poodle, at the halfwit's feet sat.

"Howdy pardner!" said George. Tony gushed: "Oh, hello!",
"Why, how y'all been, chum?" - "Jolly well, thanks...you know".
"Hey, thanks from the Yanks! We sho' preciate that!".
"Thanks, Dubs! Love that wonderful ten-gallon hat!"

When he picked up his guitar, and had started to play,
Bush said with a wince: "Hey buddy, put it away!
Of U.N. peace agreements it's a material breach".
And then Tony went into his pre-prepared speech:

"We stand shoulder-to-shoulder to end the production,
Of Iraq's tools of death, and of mass destruction,
I mean, look, doing nothing's, well...you know...not on,
So we must do what's right 'til his arsenal is gone.

From the fight against evil we must never recoil,
When they're one of the world's largest sources of oil.
And when his inhumane weapons are all accounted for,
We shall get on the phone, to sell him some more".

The United Nations spouted hot air and dithered,
Back to George's side, off the boy Tony slithered.
The phone rang (as they do) - `twas Hans Blix on the line,
He said: "Saddam's disarming", and Bush replied: "Fine!

Why, I'll still kick his ass, I cannot make things clearer,
Blow him sky-high on Sky News, and on Al-Jazeera,
He has just no idea how numbered his days are,
When down on his moustache, I shall aim a guide-laser.

Man, I'd flatten his palace, he'd have no place to hide,
Then I'd stick a Scud right up his stinking backside,
When his Republican Guard fall, reduced to mere bone.
The French wimps wanna veto? Fine. Then we'll go it alone!

Now, it happens the States has an American Dream:
Like Afghanistan...replace his hellish, violent regime!
The missiles will take off in that harsh desert heat,
Then they'll fly away northward, and finish Tikrit.

He'll be over a barrel, and North Korea can wait,
When I start World War Three off, with Tone, my old mate.
Hand-in-hand with the British, we shall fight this just fight,
With God on our side. Here's to world peace: Goodnight!"
