Naked Without My Peace Prize: Henry Kissinger’s body politic, 1974 Playgirl parody
Everybody loves Henry!
Well, at lease they used to, according to In Calls to Kissinger, Reporters Show That Even They Fell Under Super-K’s Spell, by Scott Shane, The New York Times, Oct. 22, 2004:
“The only reason for this call was to tell you that despite all appearances to the contrary in this city you still have some friends.”—CBS correspondent Marvin Kalb.
“It has been an extraordinary three years for me, and I have enjoyed it immensely. You are an intriguing man, and if I had a teacher like you earlier I might not have been so cynical”—Ted Koppel.
“I couldn’t agree with you more, my friend… I will make a call and see what I can do”— James Reston, New York Times columnist.

My favorite part is the little survey NBC41.com saw fit to include: Should these men have been arrested?
No, it was just pie.
Yes, they attacked her.
Survey said?! No, they should be beatified.

God is the Biggest Flip-Flopper of Them All
From Robertson Says Bush Predicted No Iraq Toll, by David D. Kirkpatrick, The New York Times, Oct. 21, 2004:
“In the CNN interview, [Pat] Robertson reversed himself on one prophecy. On his ‘700 Club’ television program in January, he declared that Mr. Bush would win re-election ‘in a walk,’ and added, ‘I really believe I’m hearing from the Lord it’s going to be a blowout election in 2004.’
“On Tuesday, however, he conceded, ‘I thought it was going to be a blowout, but I think it’s razor thin now.’“
How much can we “trust” in God, if He can’t be held a simple, clear point of view? Does God have the experience, the know-how, and the can-do attitude this country needs right now? Is God truly a uniter, or is He the worst divider known to man? It’s time to send God and the other fat cats from heaven a message on November 2nd. Vote God out.
I’m the anti-Christ, and I approve this message.

Unintended Irony Alert
From imdb’s Movie & TV News:
Ricky Martin Blasts Child Sex Tourism
Martin says, “This is slavery and this is the year 2004 and we are still dealing with it. There is a lot of denial. I want to see abolition of this slavery. I need to see the world step out of denial and see this happening here.”
From Kidzworld.com’s Ricky Martin Bio Page:
Ricky Martin’s first real glimpse of the spotlight came when he landed a spot in the teen Latin pop group Menudo. Ricky Martin tried out when he was 10, but didn’t make the group ’til he was 12 cuz they thought he was too young. Ricky Martin spent five years with the band and left in 1989, feeling burnt out and wanting a change.

Move Over, Tragedy. Hello, Farce!
“I’m sure the gift shop’s right around here somewhere.”
Perhaps the worst trip idea I’ve ever heard of: a 16 day Apocalypse Now-theme vacation in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Really, which is a worse experience to retrace: The fictional journey (random shooting, freak-outs, beheadings, explosions) or the cinematic journey (typhoons, heart attacks, bankruptcy)? Have fun! Don’t forget to write!
As creepy as this is, I guess it’s better than The Sorrow and the Pity Parisian Excursion, The Silkwood Seniors’ Weekend, or The Alive Andes Adventure.
