First Time For Everything
We sponsored our first event ever on Saturday evening. Andreas Duus Pape, a musician from Ann Arbor, MI, played a show to celebrate the release of his first album "The Big Hit." Although we had no staff at the gig we did hear reports that it went well! Go check out Andreas's mix of love and politics and see if you can dig it.
The presidential debate is this week. Just thought we'd let you know.

"In the final analysis, there's a very small percentage of people who haven't made up their minds by now," Tate said. "And they make their decision based on who they like, who they think they can trust -- and it's a very amorphous, very emotional decision."

You know, we read that "in this post-ideological age, anti-Americanism fills the void left by defunct belief systems."
Oh my, good lord! We just read that Cat Stevens deportation was caused by a spelling error!

An incident this week in which British former pop star Cat Stevens was deported from the United States to London as a "no-fly" terrorist risk was caused by a spelling error.
--snip--
Time magazine, in its on-line edition, quoted aviation sources with access to the "no-fly" list as saying there is no entry on the list under the name "Yusuf Islam," but that there is a "Youssouf Islam" on the list. They said the incorrect name was added to the list this summer.
---------------------
What the hell? This is days after Asa Hutchinson (who is NOT related to anyone here at littleboxes, although we do have several homosexual staff memebers, but these two things really have nothing to do with each other) claimed that Stevens's actual boarding of the plane was a sign that the "no-fly" list needed to be aggresively expanded.

An expert on weapons of mass destruction warned Prime Minister John Howard last year against going to war with Iraq (news - web sites), arguing it would make Australia a bigger terrorist target, a press report says.
The Sydney Morning Herald said Bob Mathews, a 35-year veteran of the Defence Science and Technology Organistion, also told Howard three days before his decision to join the war that his case for war was based on falsehoods.

Yet we feel that americans do not want to believe that their children have died for lie. Is it possible to tell a parent something like that? Can John Kerry say "American children have died for a lie?" Was Bush really lying? Can you prove it?

Bill Schneider (poltical analyst for CNN) is a "putz'. Thanks littleboxes for confirming what i have thought for a long time. CNN is almost FOX lite since Ted Turner left the scene. Wolf Blitzer is pure yawn inspiring "vanilla" and Larry King is old and uninteresting. Fox, CNN and MSNBC are all lazy script readers who seem to be letting Bush off way to easy. And a lot of people say the american media is too liberal? Gimme a break!!! Oh yes, am I the only one who felt the tv media gave way too much attention to the Florida hurricane storms and very little to the election and the Iraq war lately? the Bush administration must be happy to have attention diveted away from them to wall to wall coverage of the latest hurricane. The hurricanes were tragic but wall to wall coverage?
