Re: Beams to New Orleans
There actually were plans for strengthening the levees by the Army Corps of Engineers and they were ready to do it, but bush cut funds to the project and diverted them to Iraq, where significant numbers of Louisanna National Guradsman were also diverted. Everybody is criticizing the administration, the MSNBC crowd, the conservatives on CNN, even the FOX Cable News.

Re: Beams to New Orleans
It Took Bush Five Days To Make It To New Orleans. Finally. On CNN's Larry King Show tonight, someone (whose name I unfortunately did not catch) said via telephone, "It's obvious, President Bush does not care about Black people." The Rev Jesse Jackson, when queried by Larry King as to whether he thought if he felt that Bush really doesn't care about Blacks, said, "Well he sure isn't showing it." How true. These leaders must be held accountable for what is happening there. And all Gov.

Re: boy george
First of all, let me describe George's house... It's a VERY creative place. Lots of people coming and going -and it's an artistic mess! Clothes, art, silk screens, paint, glitter, feathers, beads... you name it. And his desk, where his computer lives, is a complete gorgeous disaster. It's piled to the ceiling with CDs, records, print outs, photos, magazines, make-up... you name it. (And apparently a little cocaine). Stan asked, "Why would you leave drugs out 'in plain view'?"

all gays are rich and young, it would appear on logo, they only do five star hotels on their travel show. it's too much like mtv. it's weird as a mature man, to see how many children are hired as backup dancers and talk show hosts and how seldom anyone is ever over 25 on television. where are the shows with a cast of ugly men on them any more, like Barney Miller?

Re: boy george
All I have as far as news is this: Boy George pleads innocence over drugs charge The star says he'll fight Boy George's lawyer says the star is innocent and will fight charges of drug possession. The Eighties megastar was arrested on October 7 last year after police allegedly found cocaine at his apartment in New York when they responded to a burglary call. The singer - real name George O'Dowd - entered no plea when he appeared in court in Manhattan yesterday (February 1). The case was...

Re: boy george
Obviously Mr. O'Dowd has a great lawyer and the police case must have been shakey on some points. I always said the coke was the cops' to begin with. I was starting to miss everyone's sightings and stories from local clubland about his presence here so it is good that he is talking about coming back soon.

Re: Puritan Watch
For some rehearsals for the last CD I did, we used a recording studio owned by an Isreali national on East 32nd Street. It was a rare walk-up building in a high rise zone. The outer office was crammed with about 20 people staring in to computer monitors. It turns out the recording studio, which was loaded with over five million dollars worth of equipment, was a side business for the owner's wife to play with.

Hope you all are alive and well this morning, that's all I have to say.
