WHACKY NAZI FAMILY VALUES, FORGOTTEN SCI-FI CLASSIC FOUND!, UTAH SCHOOLS TO FORGET 911, THE CIA ECONOMIC SPIES!
One of the most amazing children's book writers of ours or any other time, died on Thursday. She wrote the incredible "A Wrinkle in Time" and subsequent associated books, featuring Meg, Calvin, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit, and Charles Murray.
A German public television network Sunday sacked a popular talk show host and former news presenter after she had praised the Nazi's family policies at a news conference for her new book on child-rearing.
Police have arrested scores of men and women who engaged in group sex encounters arranged through a commercial website. They include a substantial number of social leaders such as professors, doctors, civil servants, middle school workers and senior executives of a large corporation. Married couples and lovers engaged in partner swapping through the website. http://www.asiansexgazette.com/asg/korea/korea03news25.htm
Tom Godwin wrote the now forgotten science fiction book SPACE PRISON decades ago. Well, it has shown up as a free eBook and guess what- it is one amazing book! If you like better than average science fiction, you will thank me for this! http://manybooks.net/titles/godwint2254922549.html#

It was 4 a.m. Friday morning, August 31. Duke, Walt and Roger, three buddies from North San Diego County, were headed down to Mexico keen on surfing the predicted south swell. Their destination: San Carlos, Baja California for a Labor Day holiday weekend filled with surfing, kite surfing and relaxation. This was trip they had done many times before. Duke and Roger especially, having grownup in the Solana Beach/Del Mar area
They were being pulled over. "This stuff comes with the territory," explained Roger. "Duke and I didn't feel the least bit apprehensive; pay the cop for whatever bullshit reason he comes up with and move on. Good surf awaited." The three surfers knew the drill; this area is notorious for the $40 Mexican cop shakedown. Duke, who was driving the Honda Ridgline and leading the two-truck caravan handed all his cash to Roger--except for $40 to pay-off the cop.
"Open the door, " the cop said to Roger as he rolled down the passenger window. A handgun pointed at Roger's eyes. "Open the f-ing door," the cop said a second time as he slammed the gun against Roger's right temple, reached in and pulled the door open.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE RETURN OF DAVID "THE ROCK" NELSON, THE ED WOOD OF THE 21ST CENTURY
The Chicago Psychotronic Film Society and Sonotheque Nightclub present the return of David "The Rock" Nelson, the premiere of WEREWOLF AND THE WITCH and- your chance to be in a documentary being made about The Rock, by real filmmakers! The excitement starts Tuesday, September 18 promptly at 7:30 PM (doors open at 7). Admission is $5. Sonotheque is located at 1444 West Chicago Ave, 312- 226-7600. There will be a live interview of The Rock conducted by PFS Fearless Leader Michael Flores, and a special guest appearence by Ohio TV horror movie host, Son Of Ghoul.
Witness the newest film from diabolical filmmaker David "The Rock" Nelson, "Werewolf and The Witch"! This long anticipated sequel to the 1993's underground classic "Conrad Brooks vs the Werewolf" features David "The Rock" Nelson's trademark humor, insanity and of course monsters! Watch for cameos by Forrest J. Ackerman, Roger Corman, and Svengoolie!
He's been called:
"The Ed Wood of the '90s - and beyond!"
"America's Two-Fisted Filmmaker!"
and
"Hey, you! Turn off that camera!"
David "The Rock" Nelson makes monster movies. He makes the cheapest, most poorly acted and ineptly directed monster movies ever made, shooting them on videotape and editing them on an editing bay that consists of two VCRs, his camera, and a Radio Shack f/x box. If you run into him in a bar, chances are you may find yourself in one of his movies - he can't afford to pay anyone, so whoever he can get in front of his camera becomes a star.
http://www.psychotronic.info/ioam/rock/
That has included, HILLARY CLINTON, SEAN CONNERY, GEORGE BUSH 1 and many more!
And his films are great to watch in a crowd!

Here at ALL NIGHT SURFING I've followed the Cosplay movement in Asia with a mixture of awe, shock and amazement. This may be the most disturbing example of Cosplay I've ever seen.

The legendary rock band Led Zeppelin are planning to play a huge comeback concert at the O2 arena, the concert hall housed in the former Millennium Dome.
They say rock and pop stars live life in the fast lane and now researchers have proved it. A Liverpool John Moores University study of 1,050 US and European artists found they are twice as likely to die early than the rest of the population.
In all, 100 stars died between 1956 and 2005 with US stars dying at 42 on average and those from Europe at 35. Oddly, blues singers outlive them!

Pete Seeger, America's best-known and most influential folksinger, wrote me a letter a few days ago. I did not expect to hear from him. Last June, I wrote in these pages about the new documentary on his life. The article ran under the headline "Time for Pete Seeger To Repent."  I almost fell off the chair when I read Mr. Seeger's words: "I think you're right - I should have asked to see the gulags when I was in [the] USSR." For years, Mr. Seeger continued, he had been trying to get people to realize that any social change had to be nonviolent, in the fashion sought by Martin Luther King Jr. Mr. Seeger had hoped, he explained, that both Khrushchev and later Gorbachev would "open things up." He acknowledged that he underestimated, and perhaps still does, "how the majority of the human race has faith in violence." http://www.nysun.com/article/61666?page_no=1

An Iowa district court ruled Thursday that same-sex couples can marry based on the state constitution's guarantee of equal treatment, court documents show.
The ruling was in response to a December 2005 lawsuit brought by six same-sex couples seeking to wed. They were denied marriage licenses and claimed such treatment violates equal-protection and due-process clauses in the Iowa constitution.
The court also struck down a state law declaring valid marriages are only between a man and woman.http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/08/30/iowa.samesexmarriage/index.html Now- before there were Pride Parades, Gay neighborhoods and the like, who risked his entire political career to suport gay and lesbian rights?

As a stray he wandered onto a troop barracks in the U.S. & was adopted by one of the young recruits. Barely a pup when he was smuggled aboard a troop transport to the front lines, he served in over 17 battles, providing morale boost up & down the trenches, early warning (through his enhanced sense of smell) for gas attacks, and even uncovering & capturing a german spy in the trenches. Though largely forgotten today, upon his return to the U.S., Stubby was met with a hero's welcome

It was perhaps the most catastrophic lapse of memory in history, costing more than 1,500 lives. A sailor called David Blair forgot to leave behind a key as the Titanic set off on its maiden voyage. Without it, his shipmates were unable to open a locker in the crow's nest containing a pair of binoculars for the designated lookout. The binoculars were to look out for dangers in the distance including signs of bad weather - and icebergs. Lookout Fred Fleet, who survived the disaster in which 1,522 people lost their lives, later told an official inquiry that if they had binoculars they would have seen the iceberg sooner. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=478269&in_page_id=1770&ito=1490
Ian Brown, the former lead singer with The Stone Roses has a new single out. Illegal Attacks is an anti-war song featuring Sinead O’Connor urging the US and UK governments to “bring the soldiers back home”. What strikes me is that the song is a rarity.

Imagine an egalitarian world in which all food is organic and local, the air is free of industrial pollution, and vigorous physical exertion is guaranteed. Sound idyllic?
But hold on… Life expectancy is 30 at most; many children die at or soon after birth; life is constantly lived on the edge of starvation; there are no doctors or dentists or modern toilets. If it is egalitarian it is because everyone is dirt poor, and there is no industrial pollution because there are no factories. Food is organic because there are no pesticides or high technology farming methods. As a result, producing food means long hours of back-breaking physical work which may end up yielding little.

Amazing photos by Alison Jackson. Take this shot of Angelina Jolie for example-
"... Alcatraz - Five Hours On The Rock is a set of toy camera images of the famed island's federal penitentiary by photographer Robert Vizzini. Robert describes the impetus for his project: 'Growing up, prison pictures and gangster films made a big impression on me. It was Bogart, Cagney, Raft in the moral dramas that portrayed life behind the walls and what got you there. Fortresses populated by guards and inmates - cauldrons of fear and hatred.' Robert's decision to use a Diana and black and white film is inspired: the resulting images compliment the subject perfectly. Dark, moody, even creepy - these images capture the bleak beauty of the prison whose reputation is as notorious as the men who were imprisoned within its walls." http://www.filemagazine.com/galleries/archives/2007/08/alcatraz_a_five.html
The story of Alex Kurzem, now living in Australia, who at the age of five, had been adopted by the SS and became a Nazi mascot. He was paraded as 'the Reich's youngest Nazi' and he witnessed some unspeakable atrocities. But his SS masters never discovered the most essential detail about his life: their little Nazi mascot was Jewish. It was not until 1997 that he finally told his family, and along with his son, Mark, set about discovering more about his past life. After visiting the village where he was born, they found out his real name was Ilya Galperin, and even uncovered a film in a Latvian archive of Alex in full SS regalia.

REALLY ODD NEWS STORIES, CHICAGO GANG SIGNAL BECOMES STATE TOURISM SIGN, WOMAN KILLED BY CAMEL ATTEMPTING TO MATE, THE 1ST WIZARD OF OZ BOOK!
As state tourism officials launched their new "Live Passionately" campaign Wednesday, a spokeswoman said they hoped a hand sign used in the marketing effort would "catch on and become a part of culture, especially here in Virginia." It turns out that the sign already has a following - among a gang called the Gangster Disciples that started on Chicago's South Side and now has a presence in a number of U.S. cities. Facing concerns from police, plus "Virginia is for Gangstas" jokes, officials said Friday that they will change the campaign so that it no longer uses the sign, which is two hands held together in the shape of a heart. http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-now-tourismcampaign.0817,0,3995466.story?coll=hr_tab01_layout
