What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous. For the sigil taught me that it rests within the power of each of us to awaken at will from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits, to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness.

First a quick recap of what happened yesterday then on to the meat of the entry. Last night I went to Makor to see We're About 9 and Girlyman. I arrived early and of course the first person I saw there was Melissa. We were soon joined by Chris. Brian did his imitation of me imitating Carey, imitating Katie, imitating me again. That's always good for a laugh.
The show was great even with the technical difficulties. WA9 added a new dimension to their act, miming Girlyman songs. I want to see them do that at FRFF. What would the signers do then? Sing?
Now on to the important stuff. The future of American democracy is at stake. There are stories that the major newspapers do not cover out of fear of the rich and powerful. I am not fettered by such fears or by journalistic integrity so I am going to give you the news that no one else will (or would want to).
Neanderthals are Not Extinct: Contrary to the official version there are still Neanderthals living today. They now live in our very midst. They have in some ways adopted to modern life. They have learned to read and write and to manage most modern occupations. Their differences are subtle. While capable of being a computer programmer their taste in arts is fixated in the Stone Age. They are not only incapable but uninterested in expanding their horizons. They also have a strange predilection for the name Cletus.
George W. Bush is butt of family jokes: So what do the Bushes talk about at family gatherings? The most popular topic is making fun of George W. Bush. His father said, "We can't help it. Just look at him, he's goofy." His mother Barbara said, "It is all in fun, no matter what we say we always follow it with, 'But we love Dubya.'"
The Real Story of Britney's Marriage: While the papers all covered Britney Spear's wedding and annulment none of them correctly identified her husband. It was none other that Gregory "Storm" DiConstanzo of the mega-manband Da Vinci's Notebook. When asked why he married her Mr DiConstanzo said that Bernie made him do it. Why the annulment? Britney said, "I thought he was Joey Fatone from 'N Synch, Storm is way out of my league."
Michael Jackson's Monkeys Breeding People: This intrepid reporter has discovered that Michael Jackson's monkeys have been keeping people in captivity. Not only that but for the first time a pair has successfully mated.

New Theory of Dinosaur Extinction: Prof Archibald Leach of Rutgers University has come up with some novel theories of how dinosaurs lived and died. "Dinosaur nests became progressively cleaner and neater as their reign on earth neared its end. In the very latest sites the coprolites (fossilized turds) were actually found wrapped in leaves. I believe that in the end dinosaurs became so fastidious that the stopped having sex because it was too messy and sticky."
Robot ParadeScientists at Carnegie-Mellon University have produced a working humanoid robot. It can walk, talk, and perform many human functions. It even enjoys music. It has shown a fondness for They Might Be Giants, going to shows and requesting Robot Parade. The Giant's fans seem to accept it without prejudice.
