(PAWN) DC - Congress passes "patients bill of rights without rights." In an unprecedented move in the bowels of Congress, patients now have the right to demand healthcare, while at the same time carriers have the right to deny them.

CONSPICIONIST THEORY OF THE WEAK Here in the US we get two stories a day. No more, no less. London trains collide, South Korea drops a little heavy water around, poisoning 12, then 22 then 30 people. Couple days ago it was Mexico's southern neighbor Oaxaxa has a gigantic earthquake and Japan almost has a meltdown or chain reaction. Are we going to get one story from each hemisphere - and almost 180 degrees apart for the rest of our milleniums? & SPEAKING OF CONSPICIONISMS D'ya think John John's plain going down could have been a HAARP campaign gone awry?

"In plain english, what we did," Said Prime Anarchist, "was to make two wav files. One was of DO YOU FEEL YOU LIKE WE DO by Peter "Cool Hair" Crampton, and we layered it on top of Cheer's brand new DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DRUGS. We lined up the two most high tech parts of each song and spliced them together for analog mixdown using a cracked demo copy of CoolEdit, and we listened with a used computer that had a winamp loaded in and voila!" said Anarchist. "A perfect puking noise." Anarchist went on to say the only way he could describe the sound in words was to bring up the image of a chicken with a string full of meat on it down his throat when you push and pull on the cord ever so slightly each time to get a "gahwhk" sound out of the bird. That gagging noise is the sound of Cheer and Peter Crampton paying for perms and peroxide at the Hair Palace, according to Anarchist.

Hello, I'm Prime Anarchist and this is my
rant for a New Moon, October, 1999.
I want a job folding jeans just right so every
crease is perfect and the price tag is sticking
out where you can see it. I'd like rock-star
headphones with a microphone so someone from afar
watching me on video can walk me through it right
down to my posture and presence or perhaps get a
quick price check at the same time. Hmmm. I know.
There's a brand new Old Navy opened up in my town.
Maybe I'll drop off a resume. You think they'll
start me at more than 8/hr?
Do William Rhenquist and Dick Cheney look like
"seperated at birth" or what?
Speaking of which - what middle-aged white male
will YOU vote for NEXT year.
Anyone remember those records "Mr. President?"
45's they were...about the end of the Nixon admin.
Ford and Carter too I think. You know, a question
asked by a voiceover guy, and each reply is a pop
song that just seemed to fit well, or at least it
was funny and/or entertaining.
Well, here's a short spinoff.
Call it "Mr. Bill and His Police Bills."
"Mr. President, how will you respond to Columbine?"
"Well, I signed some legislation just this week
what adds 180,000 more patrolmen to our cities."
"Mr. President, how will you respond to the Texas
massacre?"
"Well, I signed some legislation just this week
what adds 180,000 more patrolmen to our cities."
"...how would you respond to the recent shootings
in Georgia?"
"Well, I signed some legislation just this week
what adds 180,000 more patrolmen to our cities."
We bring you now to Clinton's first inaugauration.
"Well, I signed some legislation just this week
what adds 180,000 more patrolmen to our cities."
And now a word from his second inaug...
"Well, I signed some legislation just this week
what adds 180,000 more patrolmen to our cities."
"Good morning Mr. Clinton. How do you feel today?
Going to go for a jog?"
"Well, I signed some legislation just..."

Did you see the Gibson SG bathroom tile one of the
Columbine high school students painted?
I was watching Unavision's DESPIERTA AMERICA,
and they were showing the tiles. Basically they're
letting each kid express... you know, for self esteem,
spirit rebuilding, catharsis and reprogramming.
You want my take? Anything to keep from losing one
more student to parents' district-hopping. You think
the administration gives a flying fruit-fly about
self esteem? Spirit?
Bah, can you say state-money-per-student? A large
chunk of change, peeps. Addicts, all of them. Addicted
to 32 students per classroom. If admin thought teachers
(pronounced slave units) would tolerate 33, 34, or 45
students per class, dontcha think, you betcha! they'd
sign off on cloning 10 year olds right now.
Paula Jones has the stupidest looking nose I've
ever seen situated on a face. Do you think the MD,
(pronounced artist) is incompetent, or just a
no-talent bum?
DO SOMETHING
I'm shooting myself in the foot a bit here, because
I'll be there in nine or 10 years too, right?
But list your 10 favorite columnists out there.
Be honest now. Go with your first 10 thoughts.
Now, how many are white, middle-aged males?
Half? More than half? Almost all?
I've got to thank Dick Bennett for that one.
Your NY Post article this morning. It (you) helped
me notice something.
& SPEAKING OF WHICH
You may wonder why my weakly columns seldom ever
resemble... \seldom : resemble\ \posthaste : toothpaste\
\never mind\ \go back to your normal programming\
...the traditional United Statesian newspaper column.
Well, I'll tell you.
I don't WANT to fit reprintable in any paper. I don't
want to have a portfolio full of perfectly prepared pieces,
any of which could be interchanged in any paper in any
province. If structure is everything, then I guess I'm
nothing aren't I, because structure means little or
nothing to me.
I'm a columnist sure, I'm a publisher and an editor,
but I'm like hardly any you've seen before.
AND WHY IS THAT?
I'm nobody's slave. Structure this!
If you're planning to reprint things I've written out
there in other places, and I'm aware that many of you do,
I don't want it to be because it fits -- or I fit -- or
you fit into prior expectations of any kind.
I want you to reprint me because you hear my voice
and can relate and/or respond. Or perhaps you can't relate
and want to hear more before you retort or reply.
THAT'S FINE TOO. I don't want to be liked, I want to
be heard, and you'll notice - that hasn't changed
"a lick" in 12 years.

I end this rant with a couple quotes, because academics
love quotes. And of course the rest of us have come to
adore them as well.
"The purpose of a musician is to compliment the
music -- not to compete."
-Carlos Santana
"The tax code is over 40,000 pages long now."
-John McCain
