Richard Clarke, 9-11 Commission, the HUGE FUCKING ELEPHANT in the room

Sunday, April 11th, 2004

You’d think by now I’d learn to stop apologizing for not writing enough. But I am a polite type of individual so I say I’m sorry alot. It’s what I do man. I’m sure as fuck not gonna WRITE when I could be apologizing.

No, actually I am writing, just out of the public eye for now. I’m working on an ambitious project. I finally decided to bite the bullet and write me up a book. It’s not gonna be a collection of my works or my memoirs or nothing, although I want to do those too. This is gonna be a very scholarly type of study of the works of a specific iconic individual in the Cinematic type world. It’s somebody I’ve written about before, and I decided the topic deserved a whole book. All you film professors out there, I know you’re reading this, so leave a blank line on your syllabus. And if anybody out there 1) happens to be in the publishing industry and 2) has the balls to blow the lid off the world of film writing with me, then let me know. But right now the plan is a self publishing type deal. That means the book might be a little more expensive than I wish so save up your allowance kids. It’ll be worth it.

In the mean time I’m trying to keep my sight updated at least occasionally. I’ve seen some good movies like ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND but I figure if I’m only reviewing occasionally I should stick to the violent and badass works since those are my forte. So sorry I haven’t reviewed that one.

Meanwhile I’ve done a few early reviews for The Ain’t It Cool News, and some of the fellas in talkback actually complimented my “rants” in this column and said America needed them more often than once a month. Well, obviously I love America, so here I am boys, I’m gonna give you a new column. Because everyone who likes my column loves freedom, and everyone who doesn’t hates freedom, and that’s where the clash is.

Seriously man, that last sentence – Bush really said that to explain why some Iraqis continue to attack the foreign army occupying their country. Because they hate freedom. They are worried that if a foreign army continues to occupy their land, that it will mean freedom. So they attack that foreign army in hopes that it will lead to tyranny. They are the opposite of freedom fighters, they are freedom fighter againsters. They are fighting and even committing suicide to stop their own freedom. (more…)
