Speaking of shadowy dudes in the background...
New movie coming out...(I saw an ad in the L.A. paper while I was out there last week): "The United State Versus John Lennon", something of a documentary concerning the Nixon White House's fixation with deporting John due to his very vocal opposition to the Viet Nam war.
Oh yes, I WILL be seeing that one...

I didn't get where I am today by being on time...
I saw the preview on the internet. It appears that it will be just a rehash for us Beatle fans... after all, is there any new news about John Lennon vs J-Edgar and his merry band of pranksters? Still, it might be a good summary of those events for the post-boomer generation.

Even for Beatles fans, that particular low point in American history could stand a little rehashing, it would seem...
Ol' J. Edgar had his nerve deciding who was a 'decent' American and who wasn't. If only he could have come out of the closet and dropped the 'tough guy' act, he could have had a great career lip-synching to Judy Garland songs in the NYC baths, and all of our civil rights would've been under less duress...
Nixon, on the other hand...well, as the 1960 debates made clear, it would take a hell of a lot of foundation and concealer to disguise that "5-o'clock shadow"...

The only thing that could have possibly covered that 5oclock shadow would have been a plastic Nixon mask..... oh the memorable lines from that bygone era ... like "I am not a crook" and .... "when the president does it that means it's not against the law" and .... "I did not have sex with that woman"... or was that last one more recent?

Indeedy it is...which is why I'd like to see Congress demand that Dubya appear before them at once to confirm or deny his sexual relationship with his Secretary of State. We all have just as much right to know about that as we did concerning the Lewinsky debacle. If elected officials now have no right to privacy, let's see to it that they all have an equal shot at perjuring themselves or going down in flames before the hypocritical judgement of the Christian Right.
And if it's 'habeus corpus' that's required to make this happen, I suggest we need nothing more than a re-examination of Condi's freudian "My husband...er...the President..." remark.
(Wow...guess I must've got up on the left side of the bed this morning...How 'bout that John Lennon guy? What a goofy nut...)
