RHINO'S WEEKEND BLOG - June 18th & 19th THE QUOTE: "Nine Inch Nails will not be performing at the MTV Movie Awards as previously announced. We were set to perform 'The Hand That Feeds' with an unmolested, straightforward image of George W. Bush as the backdrop. Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me. See you on tour this fall when we return to play in America." - - Trent Reznor THE MUSIC VIDEO: "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails "With Teeth", the 4th studio album from Nine Inch Nails, was released May 3 debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, selling over 270,000 copies in its first week. http://www.nin.com THE LYRICS: "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails http://www.lyriczz.com/lyriczz.php?songid=16424 THE HISTORY: June 18th, 2001- Gothenburg, Sweden At precisely 4.08pm, amid smirks & bemused giggles from a row of watching policemen, a small brass band burst into sound & gave the signal for about 2,000 naked buttocks (attached to 1000 anti-shrub protestors) to be pointed in the direction of the SAS Radisson hotel where the US President was staying. American news editors worked overtime to keep the American citizenry from seeing the photo. June 19th, 1987 --  Ben & Jerry Ice Cream & the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia announce a new ice-cream flavor, Cherry Garcia. (Rhino's favorite, along with B&J's Half Baked.) THE BOOK TIP: "How the Left Lost Teen Spirit"  by Danny Goldberg Years from now, if the Democrats have long faded from American memory, anthropologists and historians will ask, "Didn't any of them read this book by Danny Goldberg?" - - Michael Moore http://www.akashicbooks.com/howtheleft.htm THE ANIMATION: "Packing Heat" by Mark Fiore http://www.markfiore.com/animation/heat.html THE CARTOON: "Downing Street Memo"  By Nick Andorsen http://cagle.slate.msn.com/working/050614/nick.jpg THE AUDIO FILE: "Deep Throat" by The Capitol Steps http://www.capsteps.com (o/)(o/)(o/) 1:35:12 PM    comment

RHINO'S BOTTOM LINE - Reefer Absurdity - Supreme Court ruling on pot is sheer madness Reefer Absurdity - Supreme Court ruling on pot is sheer madness by Will Durst, Working For Change, 6/9/05 In its finite wisdom, the US Supreme Court upheld the Federal Government's ban on Medical Marijuana -- screwing all ten states that legalized it and leaving a lot of folks in those ten states with superfluous Glaucoma diagnoses... ... Why do politicians always insist on lumping all drugs together? Even a fourth grader can tell you that crack is to pot like an Uzi is to a banana. Crack: kills. Pot: giggles. Say you do run into a crazed pothead: what's the worst thing that's going to happen to you? Okay, you might get fleas, but that's about it. So there's Twinkie Cream on your shirt, wipe it off. Can't get the song, "Stairway to Heaven" out of your head, deal with it. Potheads don't mug, they hug. The same can not be said about the Supreme Court.
