TODAY
IS SADDAM HUSSEIN'S BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday Saddam! Ha! Ha! Boy! I think that today is just the BEST
Saddam Hussein Birthday EVER! Don't you? He probably doesn't feel
that way of course - if he's alive to feel anything at all! If today also
happens to be YOUR birthday, as it is for
Actor Jessica Alba (IDLE
HANDS, PARANOID, DARK ANGEL [TV])
who is 22 and
Actor Kari Wuhrer (THINNER, ANACONDA,
FATAL CONFLICT, EIGHT

not have an extra piece of birthday cake for old Saddam (66)? Because
HE sure as SHIT ain't gettin' any! Ha! Ha! Ha!

SOME KIND OF CRAZY DREAM?
SAN
FRANCISCO, CA - (INTERNET WIRE) On Saturday, May 3, Metreon’s Things
From Another World store will join thousands of shops around the world
in celebrating the art of the comic book! On “Free Comic Book Day,”
participating comic book stores will give away as many books as possible,
absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores.

of videogames, and the Internet.

including her film, Little Shop of Erotica, spoofing Nicholson's early work.
Marilyn Chambers (SEXUAL ECSTASY OF THE MACUMBA, RABID)
is 51.
Sheryl Lee (TWIN PEAKS: Fire Walk With Me, VAMPIRES,
DANTE'S VIEW) is 36.
Eric Mabius (THE MINUS MAN, THE CROW: Salvation, RESIDENT
EVIL) is 32.
Jack Nicholson (THE CRY BABY KILLER, LITTLE SHOP OF
HORRORS, THE RAVEN, THE TERROR, THE SHINING, THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, BATMAN,
WOLF, MARS ATTACKS!) is 66 today.

ANTI-AMERICANISM
THRIVING IN THE GEORGIA LEGAL SYSTEM?
More than three years ago, Horror writer and entrepenuer Edward Kramer
was accused of a heinous crime that, so far, no one has been able to
prove he even committed. Zero victims, zero evidence. Never the less,
while no proof was forthcoming, Kramer was still beaten nearly to death,
in front of witnesses, by law enforcement officers, and no charges have
yet to be filed against his attackers. The physical assaults continue
to this day. This didn't take place under the Butcher of Baghdad, but
under the watchful eye of the Gwinnett County Detention Center in Georgia,
U.S.A.

MARTIN
LUTHER KING DIED TODAY
A man of non-violence, killed by a coward's bullet on April 4, 1968.
On this day, 35 years ago and hundreds of miles away from the actual
shooting, Reverend Jesse Jackson threw fake blood on his shirt and told
reporters that he held the dying Mr. King in his arms: Which was a bare-faced
lie. 35 years ago today, Martin Luther King died. Did his dream die
with him? Is there someone, anyone, alive today who gives a bleeding
rat's ass about "Keeping his dream alive"? If so, please write
and let me know.
FeoNote:
This article was up on the front page for 20 days and no one wrote in
about it. So I guess that answers THAT question. In the meantime,
I'll continue to do my part for the dream, regardless of popularity.
