QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND
"The whole world is watching you. The entire world is going to know what the American youth can do for humanity. America is helping everybody in the material field, but the time has come for America to help the whole world with spirituality also."
- - Sri Swami Satchidananda (Opening invocation at Woodstock Festival, 1969)


RHINO HERE:
Keep in mind: Labor Day is not for laboring.

Last Monday, Swami Satchidananda passed on in Chennai (Madras), South India. He had just attended the Global Peace Conference in South India as its keynote speaker. For an article on his passing, go to: http://www.hinduismtoday.com/hpi/2002/8/20.html

A FEW UPDATES, THEN A TUNE ABOUT THE BOY BUSH:

UPDATE: The Rhino's Blog Website...
...now has a search engine so if you need to recall blogs on specific issues, you can do so there, by keyword searches.
http://radio.weblogs.com/0103207/

UPDATE: The Nevada Marijuana Initiative
A huge front page story in the state's largest newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal, entitled "Marijuana Initiative: Economic Benefits Touted" estimated that bringing marijuana into a regulated market would generate $200 million in annual tax revenues; not counting the savings from eliminating law-enforcement expenditures." In the same article, Republican Gov. Kenny Guinn announced he's not opposing the initiative!

UPDATE: The Indian Trust Fund Lawsuit
A Native American Rights Fund attorney recently said that U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth will make a decision on the Bush administration's contempt trial very soon. "It's going to be huge," Keith Harper said. Secretary of Interior Gale Norton and Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb face five charges for their handling of the Individual Indian Money (IIM) trust, ranging from giving false information about the trust, to failing to protect computer systems housing the assets of 500,000 Indian people.

(Sing along to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy name Bush.
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
He drank like a fish while he drove all about.
But that didn't matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is.
Criminal record.
Cover-up.

Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
Blow, that is.
White gold.
Nose candy.

The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
Kin folks say, "George, stay at home with Mom."
Let the common people get maimed and scarred.
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard.
Cushy, that is.
Country clubs.
Nose candy.

Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
He said, "Now the White House is the place I wanna be."
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP.
Gun owners, that is.
Falwell.
Jesse Helms.

Come November 7, the election ran late.
Kin folks said "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
"Don't let those colored folks get into the polls."
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes. Chads, that is.
Duval County.
Miami-Dade.

Before the votes were counted five Supremes stepped in.
Told all the voters "Hey, we want George to win."
"Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation.
And that's how George finally got his coronation.
Rigged, that is.
Illegitimate.
No moral authority.
Y'all come vote now.
Ya hear?
