Return of the Living Dead Revisited
Back in 1985, one movie that provided me with a lot of entertainment was a cheesy little zombie movie called "The Return of the Living Dead." Dan O'Bannon, one of the original writers for George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," the classic zombie film of 1968, decided to have some fun with the concept, so he created this movie that took some funny liberties with the horror genre. Unlike the original, ultra-serious black and white shocker, this update was an outrageous full-color comedy that utilized a rock and roll soundtrack, and naked girl zombie with an punk rock attitude. When a couple of bumbling idiots at medical supply warehouse accidentally unleashed a highly-experimental gas into the atmosphere, corpses were transformed into animated zombies, looking for their favorite meal- human brains.

Rock Against Bush CD + DVD
Here's a message from my friend Kimmy of DIY Politics about a new "Rock Against Bush" CD+DVD package. I love the idea that for less than $10, you can get a rockin' CD, and a DVD that includes two documentaries- "Uncovered" and "Unprecedented" plus some MoveOn commercials.
If you do want to buy it, I encourage you to buy it the very first week, just to drive up those all-important music industry statistics.

I hope you don't mind me sending another email to you. I am concerned about all the propaganda condemning our President. I agree some things seem fishy about things in the White house. I am concerned about the lack of WMD discovered in Iraq. I feel many peoples comments and ideas are just a build up of assumptions. I am curious as to how other Presidents would have handle the situations currently undertaking the world.
Other world leaders are likely to have two-way conversations, as opposed to the way Bush is operating. Bush operates on the principles of li...
Flash from Cartoon Past
When Howard Dean was first acknowledged in the DOONESBURY, many of us were beaming ear-to-ear, knowing that someone with "real influence" (comic strip artists, comedians, musicians, etc...) actually understood what our guy was all about!
33 Years ago, DOONESBURY acknowledged John Kerry with 3 comic strips. Here's a little blast from from the past for those of you that weren't paying attention the first time, or didn't exist yet:
