I've posted new pictures. I shot a few pictures at Portland State University two days after the attacks in DC/NY. I've also posted pictures taken during my appearances on Portland cable access. I went on the notorious Jim Spagg show to promote the upcoming issue of Portland's Jam Magazine: "The People's Issue," where you can write an essay about your thoughts on this week's terrorist attack and email them for publication to editor@jammagazine.com

Oh, and before you say anything: everyone knows that television adds about 50 pounds.

Maya Angelou and Madonna have publicly stated that we should show "restraint" and that "revenge won't solve the problem."

There should be no restraint. We've shown restraint for the last eight years with Osama (Usama? Whatever.) Bin Laden, who is the "prime suspect" in this attack.

We need to show absolutely NO restraint in the investigation, the apprehension, and the execution of those who did this to us. The perpetrators should be killed, resuscitated, then promptly killed again. There is no room for "restraint" anymore.

Scammers are out, taking advantage of the situation. Sick Fucks. Read this article and make sure your donations are going to the right people.

Harry Lime is the god of all atheists.
Jim Spagg is the God of cable access.

In what was truly an awkward evening on the set of the notorious Jim Spagg cable access show, Spagg and Lime successfully (by most standards) pulled off a humorous/offensive/serious show in the wake of the attack on the US. Spagg was nice enough to plug this website and let me get on the air discuss the upcoming issue of Jam where anyone can send in their essays/discussions of their thoughts about the recent events.

The show is shot against a green background, with a variety of videotape superimposed behind Spagg. Tonight, the producers switched between footage of the tragedy news coverage and footage of a nudist colony. This was not a popular pick by a lot of caller's standards. I was (ahem) fortunate enough to talk to some pissed-off callers and I explained that the show is done by a group of volunteers who agreed with what was shown, and some who didn't. You can't make everyone happy. That's cable access for you.

Either way, I haven't left the house in three days. Going to the Spagg taping was a great break for me.

I spoke with a psychologist today who said that the hours and hours that people are spending watching the repeated broadcasts of the terrorist attacks is detrimental not only to general mental well being, but cognitive ability as well. He suggests that people limit the television watching, or at this point eliminating it altogether and getting news strictly from print and radio. There is nothing positive to be gained from watching the attack over and over again.

He also suggested that people of faith spend time in their places of worship, and for people in general to get away from the television and get together to discuss their feelings, vent, cry, etc.

Ebay has had listings for pieces/memorabilia of the World Trade Center. Sick. This listing says all that I could about these ebayers.

Some Oregon gas Stations have jacked up prices up to ~$5. I'm going to get the names and addresses of the sons of bitches that would take advantage of a situation like this and list them here. There is no need to buy gas from these assholes ever again.
