Uh-oh, looks like the King of Udders passed away - pop culture looses an-udder underappreciated star:

Wednesday September 22, 2004 11:46 AM
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Russ Meyer, who helped spawn the ``skin flick'' with such films as ``Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'' and ``Vixen,'' has died. He was 82. Meyer died Saturday at his home in the Hollywood Hills, according to his company, RM Films International Inc. Spokeswoman Janice Cowart said Meyer had suffered from dementia and died of complications of pneumonia. Meyer's films were considered pornographic in their time but are less shocking by today's standards, with their focus on violence and large-busted women but little graphic sex. Altogether he produced, directed, financed, wrote, edited and shot at least 23 films, including his debut, ``The Immoral Mr. Teas,'' in 1959 and the 1968 film ``Vixen,'' whose success earned him notice from major studios. He went on to direct the major studio release ``Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'', which was co-written by film critic Roger Ebert. In a 1996 interview with The Associated Press, Meyer described his films as ``passion plays ... Beauty against something that's totally evil.'' Meyer was unapologetic for his movies, arguing the onscreen female nudity put customers in theater seats. But he maintained that women liked the films. ``The girls kick the hell out of the guys. I've always played well at the Ivy League - Cornell, Dartmouth. I have never encountered a berating woman,'' he said. Meyer's work made him rich and earned him critical acclaim. He was honored at international film festivals, his movies were discussed in college courses, and his work was shown at top museums. His 1966 classic, ``Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!'' about three hip go-go-girl club dancers who go on a vengeful murder spree against the men who did them wrong still makes the art house rounds. ``This film is not derogatory to women,'' Meyer said. ``There were three tough cookies to deal with. Besides, they get what's coming.'' Meyer married three times. His studio said he left no survivors.

The MooCow always enjoyed and appreciated "Faster Pussycat...", it is a classic guilty pleasure flick. You hate to see the end of an era, but, truth be told, I thought he wa already dead. Well, my helper monkeys don't tell me everything...

A sad day indeed: Johnny Ramone has followed fellow punkster Joey and Dee Dee Ramone into that great beer-tossing, torn-jeans, stage-diving gig in the sky, and the world is a moooch sadder place:

Johnny Ramone dies
By Ken Barnes and Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — Guitarist Johnny Ramone of the seminal punk band The Ramones died in his sleep Wednesday at his Los Angeles home. Ramone, who had been fighting a five-year battle with prostate cancer, was 55.
Ramone, whose real name was John Cummings, was surrounded by family members and fellow rockers Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Rob Zombie.
The band's singer, Joey Ramone, whose real name was Jeff Hyman, died in 2001 of lymphatic cancer. Bassist Dee Dee Ramone, whose real name was Douglas Colvin, died from a drug overdose in 2002.
The Ramones' I Wanna be Sedated, Sheena Is a Punk Rocker and Blitzkrieg Bop, among others, earned them an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
Johnny Ramone co-founded The Ramones in 1974 in New York along with Joey Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone and Tommy Ramone, who is the only surviving member of the original band. The four band members weren't related, but all took the name of Ramone. Marky Ramone later joined the group as its drummer.
The Ramones influenced scores of followers, including bands such as Green Day and Nirvana.
A tribute concert and cancer research fundraiser was held Sunday in Los Angeles to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary. It featured performances from Los Angeles punk band X, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Henry Rollins and others.
Ramone was too weak to talk and was taking medication to reduce the pain, said Marky Ramone, who saw the guitarist this past weekend.
"It wasn't a surprise, considering the severity of his condition," he said.

Gabba Gabba Hey, Johnny, we accept you, one of us, one of us...

Dog Shoots Redneck!!! :=8D

Is this country going to the dogs, or what??

:=8/

Some cowardly redneck asshole from Florida decided to get rid of a group of puppies by shooting them in his hand one at a time was himself shot by one of the very same pups he tried to ruthlessly murder. Here's the AP story:

(AP) Deputies say a man in Pensacola, Florida, who was trying to shoot seven puppies was shot by one of the dogs. The man was holding two of the shepherd-mix puppies when one of them wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the man's .38-caliber revolver, making it discharge. Escambia County deputies say 37-year-old Jerry Bradford was shot in the wrist and was treated at an undisclosed hospital. To top it off, the sheriff's office issued an arrest warrant charging Bradford with felony animal cruelty. He says he was shooting the 3-month-old pups because he couldn't find another home for them. Three of the puppies were found in a shallow grave behind his house, the other four were taken by animal control, which intends for them to be adopted.
"That should never have to happen," said Bruce Rova, director of the Escambia County Animal Shelter. "There are so many options people have. We'll try to find them a new home."

Jerry Bradford, the whole country now knows you are a total asshole - the MooCow hopes you see the bad end of a gang-bang serial ass-rape while in prison. Repeatedly. :=8P

Interestling enough, this is not the first time cowrageous canaines have overcome their slightly stupider "masters" in the gun department. Check out this story from Moo Zealand in 2000:

New Zealand hunter has been shot by his own dog, proving that canines are not always a man's best friend.
Kelly Russell was tracking wild pigs on Sunday with Stinky and two other dogs when the accident happened near Tokoroa on North Island.
Having cornered one of his prey, Mr Russell put down his loaded shotgun - but in the ensuing commotion Stinky jumped on it, blasting a shot through the hapless hunter's foot.
Mr Russell, 30, then endured a five-hour wait before help happened to chance by in the shape of a passing car.
"I was almost at the road but there was too much pain. I couldn't even drag myself. It felt like an eternity."
He said he did not blame Stinky as he had been the one at fault for putting down a loaded gun.
The six-year-old mongrel is in now his kennel at home, seemingly unaware of his role in the mishap.
But Mr Russell faces an agonising wait while surgeons fight to save his foot, which was shattered by the blast.
Doctors give the foot only a 50-50 chance. Mr Russell's enthusiasm for hunting remains undimmed, however - although he says he may take a friend with him next time.

Stinky!?!? Pretty unimaginative name for a dog, fella - maybe this was a little slice of Stinky revenge for a crappy name... :=8/

And here is this story from France, 2003:

FRENCH hunter was shot by his dog, police said yesterday. The man left a loaded shotgun with two dogs in the boot of his car. One dog stepped on the trigger and shot the man in the hip. The hunter, from the Basque village of Espelette, was in hospital with shot wounds.

Hmmm, dogs and guns: just not a real safe mix. Probably something in that flea powder... :=8/

Professor MooCow posits an-udder universal cownundrum...

Don't ferget u can always e-mail the MooCow with cowments at MooCowMoo@aol.com!!!

So, I'm reading Thomas Aquinas this evening ('cause, geek that I am, that's what I do - small wonder why I am a lone cow...), and I began to think philosophically. I know, god forbid! This is always a path fraught with peril...

Anycow, Aquinas made a remark during one of his usual circular discourses about the nature of God concerning the nature of infinity: for example, no matter cow big a number one thinks up, because you can always add one more to it you can never get to the actual largest number (just, as I believe he was positing, that we as humans (err... devine bovines) can never actually come to understand God because he is always just beyond our ability to understand).

This seemed to be a vexing paradox. Cow is it, for example, that an infinity, any infinity, can exist within or at the same time as something finite? For example, human understanding is obviously finite, therefore cow can we possibly grasp that which has infinite understanding? (God)

So cow does an infinity exist within something finite? Well, according to moost scientists, we (humans and cows) live in a finite universe, on a curved planet, in a curved universe, within a curved space-time cowtinuum. Yet, we certainly have infinite abstracts within that universe. But not only abstracts!

For example, say we define a universe which is exactly 10' x 10' x 10' - a 10 foot room with 4 equal ten foot walls, floor, & ceiling. Say we put in 1 person and one light bulb within that room. Well, there is obviously a finite amount of space in that room(universe), a finite amount of air moolecules, a finite distance to walk from one wall to an udder, even a finite amount of energy photons emanating from the light souce(the light bulb), finite number of cells within the space, etc - everything is finite!

Except... if you use the old 1/2 a distance formula, by which I mean, walk to the nearest wall but taking steps each exactly half as much as the previous, you never get there, you will moove infinitely(true, by our perception the person will not appear to moove, because very soon such steps would be inperceptibly small and very quick to make), but theoretically that person is still mooving, and will cowtinue into infinity. That same person in that same space can think of the largest possible number, and that number can still be enlarged, and therefore the value can go on for infinity...yet, that person remains within a very definite finite space.

So we have a situation where not only is an abstract concept capable of achieving infinity (number values), but very concrete physical reality(walking an ever-decreasing distance) also can achieve infinity within the very same finite space! What does this mean?

Well, this perhaps helps me udderstand a bit moore the possible nature of God. Let me explain: for years, one of my favorite arguements against the possibility of the existance of God was the evidence of reality itself. We are told (continuously!) that God is infinite and all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipotent. Cowever, I always argued, if God is omnipotent, then why do we humans exist? Why does the universe exist? Why does reality exist? Existance requires some sort of reason - things don't just come into being for no reason, human perception has taught us at least that mooch. There must be a reason for reality to exist, for the world to exist, for us to exist.
But if God is omnipotent and infinite, then what could that reason possibly be - why would God even need a reason? What need would our existance serve? If God is truely omnipotent and infinite he would have no reason for anything, because he would have no need for anything. We exist, therefore we fill a need, and if God has a need, then God is not omnipotent, and therefore does not exist as we define him. And, if God is perfect, why is everything around us, the entire universe, so imperfect (especially when we are told constantly that we and everything else are made in His image)?

But now, I begin to wonder if the true nature of god lies is a paradox, like the one I mentioned previously with reguard to an infinity within a finite spaciality. What if God both exists and doesn't exist? What if he is both omnipotent and not omnipotent at the same time?? God can be both perfect and imperfect at the same time. Cow is this possible? Well, as we have seen before with udder paradoxes, it is certainly possible. I won't go over all the historic Platonic, Aristotelian, and Neo-Platonic reasons for why God is supposed to be perfect and omnipotent - and I have just mentioned above my reasons for why God wouldn't be perfect or omnipotent (and therefore not exist).

Well, if everything in the universe is flawed in one way or an-udder, and everyting in the universe has been created by God, in his image, God theefore is flawed because he has produced flawed results. But, even if he is perfect and flawless, he would still be flawed, because as being both all things and infinite, he would also be their opposites. He would be everything and nothing at the same time. If he is everything, then by definition he also has to be nothing, because nothing, or everythings' opposites, is part of the definition of everything.

So what the hell is God anyways?? :=8/

The only way of udderstanding that I see (as a rational cow, that is) where something is everything and nothing at the same time would be the scientific cowcept of the singularity. When scientists were trying to explain the Big Bang theory as the animator of the universe, they posited that everything in the universe was at one point concentrated into one tine, indefinable, unmeasurable point, called a singularity, and this singularity held everything in the universe(and also held nothing, because nothing is part of everything). The Big Bang was the point where, because the singularity could not hold together without massive forces, heat, pressures, etc, it all exploded into one giant cataclysm in which everything (and nothing) were formed.

Was God similarly so? Was God, at some point, both everything and nothing, perfect and yet imperfect, timeless, and yet chained by time to explode, mooch like our universal singularity?

And what about time, is God both affected and unaffected by time? A stone block(as far as we can tell) does not have the ability to perceive time, yet is affected by it in the form of erosion. We have just now been able to detect the so-called "dark matter" which makes up the bulk of the universe, we can't see it but we know it is there indirectly through mathematics - it affects us directly, even when we didn't know it existed. Jst because something isn't known doesn't mean that it can't exist. I've never been to Belgium, but I know it exists (unless there is the mother of all cowspiracies going on out there...). So too God - if he is beyond human knowing and understanding, if we are unable to grasp his conceit, if God is beyond rational 9and is, therefore irrational), yet still God may exist. In fact, if you listen to Aquinas, Spinoza, and a host of udders, the fact that God cannot be understood, or is irrational, proves that he does exist(rather than disproves) because our definition of God is such that we have made him cowpletely unknowable and outside of rationality.

So cow do you believe in something that is both rational and irrational, that both exists and does not exist, which is both omnipotent and finite, etc? I guess that is the final nature of faith. Faith therefore is the belief in the irrational, the belief in everything that our logic and common sense tells us cannot exist. Yet, if God exists, then he is beyond both faith and logic, because he would both exist and not exist at the same time. Therefore, can one believe and not believe in God contemporanously?

Does this sort of rational work for everything - can we as a specific species of creatures living in a finite physical world both live and die at the same time? Well, yes - we are living, yet from the mooment we are born we are also dying, that is, mooving towards our own inevitable death. Our bodies cowstantly grow new cells to replce ones which are dying in our bodies, so the life/death dual matrix exists within each of our cells, even on a moolecular level.

If that is true, then perhaps the mooment of death is in fact the mooment of life at the same time, although we may not be able to perceive it that way(like not being able to see the walker in the 10 x 10 x 10 room moove at the half of each step, yet he still does, beyond our abilty to perceive). Is the ability so perceive this paradox like some dark matter, which we are able to know only by proxy, and never directly? Or will we discover a window into this paradox as we evolve, such our udderstanding of time, self-awareness, and udder abstractions came as a result of our evolving brains? Perhaps our concept of God is as mooch a product of our cowtinuing evolution as our physical bodies.

I suppose the first step in dealing with the concept of god is to throw away the historical duality of either believing and disbelieving in God, and accept both.

God is a paradox. So is life.

My head hurts. :=8(

Time for cookies and moo juice. Maybe next time I'll read a nice Stephen King short story... :=8/

The Bush Resume
:=8D

Don't ferget u can always e-mail the MooCow with cowments at MooCowMoo@aol.com!!!

Moo there everyone!!! :=8D
Yep, the ol' MooCow is back from St. Mary's City, and ready to blog again. I can't take credit for making this little resume for our glorious leader, but I thought it might be a good one to share with all my fellow bloggies out there. Remember, we're in an election year, so pretty mooch anything goes... ;=8)


GEORGE W. BUSH
1600 Pennsylvania AvenueWashington, DC 20520

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

Military: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air NationalGuard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

College: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company(Arbusta, with Saudi money), but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in theUnion. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's political appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:· I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. I support a constitutional amendment limiting the rights of its citizens. I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.
I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month. I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My"poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of mybest friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the US. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices inU.S. history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history. I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election). I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.
After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history. I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.· I am the first President in U.S. history to orderan unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.
I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in wartime. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends. I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear"Tactical Bunker Buster," a Weapon of Mass Destruction. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES: All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

:=8P

Sheesh, that's a lot!
oh, and of course, this little ditty doesn't even begin to mention the long-time cownections between the Bush family and the Saudi bin Lauden family, the Bush hands in the Saudi Royal Family pockets, Unocal deals in Afganistan and Pakistan, Haliburton sweetheart deals in Iraq, the Taliban visits to Texas paid for by Bush's corporate cronies, the unbelievable security gaff of allowing 24 bin Laden family members to leave the US via plane days after the 9/11 disaster w/out any FBI investigation, etc, etc, etc...

So roll over America, and get ready to take another one up the poop shoot, as the RNC prepares to rig another general election, and the Bush regime slithers into a second term. As long as the SUV has gas, the news media spoon-feeds us celebrity drivel, and the wallet has enough money to shop at Wal-Mart, who cares, right?

America, you deserve what you get.
