Don't Believe The Next 9/11

Someone handed this to me in Union Square.

I remember the last 9/11. The weather was still warm so my wife and went to Central Park for a picnic. Then we rented a tandem bike and went for a ride. On the way home we found $50 that we used to pay for a perfect meal at Il Cantinori. And we finished it all with a 5-hour lovemaking marathon. It was an unbelievable day and if the next 9/11 is half as good, it will be amazing too.

Bush Did It For Oil

For those who still can't get enough conspiracy theories about 9-11 , there's patriotsquestion911.com to answer your need.

Found on 3rd Avenue in the East Village.

Rebuild Us You Cowards

I don't think that it's lack of intestinal fortitude that's preventing anything from being built where the World Trade Center once stood. Even the site of a national tragedy is subject to the same real estate issues that effect any other plot of land in New York.

What I want to know is when those yellow-bellied weasels are going to do right by the victims of 1911 and rebuild the Triangle Waist Company Factory?

East/West Village Border

The East Village is way more tolerant of stickers and flyers than the West Village. We'll see if this changes as the East Village becomes more gentrified.The dividing line is 4th Avenue where I took this photo.

Twenty % Tippers - Part 4

The Twenty%Tippers sent me another one of their stories in the mail. It's eight pages long, too long to tape up in a subway station or for me to transcribe here.

The title is "Man in a Diaper" and the premise is that the city of New York decides to provoke Islamic militants by seating a man in a diaper - one of the Twenty%Tippers is selected for the job - atop the Freedom Tower spire. The plan is based on a misinterpretation of an obscure passage in the Koran .

The Tipper's website has a collection of their previous stories and perhaps this one will be posted soon, or at least in time for the 7th anniversary of 9-11.

This is another leg in their campaign to give away their free CD. The Tippers are ahead of the major labels who still haven't gotten it through their heads that recorded music has become a free commodity. They might as well give songs away with six-packs of Coke, like when I was a kid and they would sometimes put a Bobby Sherman record on the back of a cereal box.

9-11 Roundup

Tomorrow is the 6th anniversary of 9-11, an event that people still feel strongly about. Here's some of the messages that have been posted around NYC.
I remember the days of "united we stand." That was before the country was divided over the Iraq war. Even the World Trade Center is still a hole in the ground because no one can agree on what to build there.

By the time I found this on a sidewalk in Long Island City, the poster looked like it had taken more of a stamping than terrorism.
For some, 9-11 marks a new era a fascism in this country brought about by the Bush administration when the threat of terrorism is merely a tool to frighten the populace into submission. You can find more stickers and posters ready for printing at www.strike911.org.
And then there are the conspiracy theorists who I wrote about earlier. The activists at NY 9/11 Truth are trying to create an NYC 9/11 ballot initiative enabling residents of NYC to vote for a new, independent investigation of 9/11. I get the feeling that even if there were an independent investigation revealing the conspiracy behind 9-11 there would still be people claiming that the independent investigation was a cover up and that there is an even deeper conspiracy behind the attacks, involving the Vatican, the Trilateral Commission, the Federal Reserve and Home Depot.
