 What was the last time you read something like this in the  newspaper, the NYT or the LAT--that is why we have  a corrupt press--Let's change all that. Read American  Legends Enquirer--Coming Soon--OJ Announces  for Governor of  Florida--

Subject: Fw: Guess what Company

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

 29 have been accused of spousal abuse

  7 have been arrested for fraud

  19 have been accused of writing bad checks

 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at leased 2 businesses

  3 have done time for assault

  71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

  14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

  8 have been arrested for shoplifting

  21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

  84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

  Can you guess which organization this is?

 Give up yet?

  It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

  The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to  keep the rest of us in line.  ##

THE BEST MOTHER LODE  

Subject: Felicitations
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 14:30:38 -0700
From: Peter Collins <peter@compware.com>
To: info@blacklistedjournalist.com

Coming down from 2 days of bigmagic columns. Can confidently say it's the best surprise mother lode I've gotten on the Inet in a yr.

I'd send you a check but I'm going broke myself. Meanwhile I've attached a WSB dream in Adobe Postscript for your strange enterainment. Lucky you.

Started going thru my Beat phase very late- few years ago when turned 48 (and Allen and Bill B. had just died). Coming out of it slowly starting to spout Surrealism of all things, Dali and Lamantia. I'm too young to have the pleasure of being EXPELLED from the Surrealists at the hands of Breton as happened for instance to Brion Gysin they say, 

Why exactly are you blacklisted NOW? Your stuff looks presentable to me and the topic is topical certainly.

  Regards

I don't really have that many "Jewish and hippie" relations. If I come into a few more you will certainly be among them.  ##

Hello!

I saw your page on 'The Beatles' and it mentioned the name *Brian Epstein*.

I'm a fan of an actor named 'Jake Epstein' and I read that he likes 'The Beatles' too. Could Jake Epstein be a relative of Brian Epstien? Do you know where I could find out?

DANGER! WOMEN DRIVERS! 

Subject: Women drivers. Flip one off? read on. . . .
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 18:11:31 -0500
From: jo grant <jgrant@bookzen.com>

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck causing him to have to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.

This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and flipped the woman off.

Man, that guy is stupid, I thought to myself.

I always smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic and here's why:

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work, that's 96 miles each day.

Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway so if you just look at the 7 lanes I am not in, that means I pass a new car something like every 40 feet per lane.

That's 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.

Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper to bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars.

That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars I pass every day.

Statistically, half of these are driven by females, that's18,000.

In any given group of females 1 in 28 are having the worst day of their period. That's 642.

According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449.

According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.

And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.

According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.

This means, that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, is having the worst day of her period, and is armed.

Flip one off?

I think not. ##

To: info@blacklistedjournalist.com

Just read your piece on Murray the K; a link was posted on the NY radio message board...I grew up listening to the last of his days on 1010WINS, I remember him from Moniter and WNBC...but of course, am well familiar with the legend. just one comment on your article. Wow. It left me breathless and drained. OK, that's two comments. I can't believe he's been dead almost 20 years.

READER IN ISRAEL 

Subject: Dylan documentary
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 13:39:57 +0200
From: "Barry Rosenfeld" <barry@kinneret.co.il>
To: "al aronowitz" <info@blacklistedjournalist.com>

I was watching a documentary on Bob Dylan and the 60s on cable and think you were interviewed during the documentary. Joan Baez was in there as well. I came in in the middle and your name wasn't on the screen but I am almost sure it was you. The thing that gave it away was when you mentioned that Bob Dylan said to you when hearing about the Beatles smoking in Buckingham Palace, that maybe you shouldn't have turned them on.

best regards
