Re: Democrats Send a Signal – No to War
Date: Aug. 10, 2006
Anti-war activist Ned Lamont, a political unknown who has never held public office, won over pro-war Democrat Joe Lieberman, who just 6 years ago was almost elected vice president.
Clearly, the people are sending a message that they are against the war, they are against Bush, and they are going to vote Democratic collaborators who support a right wing agenda out of office.
The time has come for the people to rise up against this failed Congress and vote the bums out.
If you are an elected Democrat – or a Republican – it's time that you get the message: no to war, no to Bush. If you don't get it then we'll replace you with someone who does.I'm Marc Perkel - And I approved this message!

Re: Mel Gibson's 12-step Program
Date: Aug. 10, 2006
Forwarded to me. Sounds just about right...
1. I admitted I was powerless over my addiction–that my life had become unmanageable, despite the best efforts of my management team at ICM and of my publicist Alan Nierob at Rogers & Cowan.
2. I came to believe that a Power greater than myself, and a Power even greater than the machinations of the Illuminati within the Zionist International Banking Cartel, could restore me to sanity.
3. I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understand God (for more on my understanding of God, rent The Passion of the Christ or watch the Jesusy stuff at the end of Braveheart).
4. I made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself. A moral inventory, not a personal inventory. A personal inventory includes the community of Malibu, which I own, by the way.
5. I admitted to God, to myself, and another human being the exact nature of my wrongs. And I’m sorry that the human being, Officer Mee, is such a Chatty Cathy.
6. I am entirely ready to have God remove the defects of my character, and for Him to maybe cut me a little slack because my character was shaped by a father who believes remote-controlled airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center.
7. I humbly ask God to remove my shortcomings, or at least dull my eagerness to use “Sugartits” as a term of endearment.
8. I have made a list of all the people I have harmed, and have become willing to make amends to them all. (Note to self: Send flowers to Officer Sugart!ts.)
9. I have made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so will injure them or others. (Is threatening the florist who wouldn’t deliver to “Officer Sugartists, Mel Gibson’s Malibu, USA, an “injury?”)
10. I will continue to take a personal inventory and AAARGGGHHHHHH!!!! (When things get dull, scream. See Braveheart again.)
11. I have sought through prayer and meditation to improve a conscious contact with G-d, praying only for the knowledge of G-d’s will for me and the power to carry that out. (See Jews? The “G-d” thing is pretty considerate, huh?)
12. Having a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, I will carry this message to other addicts. At least until they stop running the inevitable and earnest PSA I will film as a condition of my parole.

The Republicans say that the Democrats are weak on terror. Perhaps they are right: Democrats have never terrified me that way Republicans have.
