~ today is v-day! celebrate by visiting v-day [w] and equality now[w], and donate to them the money that you would have otherwise wasted on ‘hannibal’, starbucks, or captain morgan….(c/o oli)

~ tomorrow is v-day!…[w]

~ site updates at vegan.com [w] and veganaction.org [w], and a new address for socalinflight [w].

~ while the angry red planet continues to fail to deliver news on a timely schedule, check out the following articles…

gore vidal, composer of burr, has penned a rather angry article, ‘democratic vistas‘, for the nation. he addresses the u.s. presidential election debacle which some readers may remember hearing about last november.

also, freaking sony has unveiled some details concerning the new spider-man film; these details can be seen at hollywood.com. i don’t know if i can stand another movie adaptation of a comic book that must start at the beginning of the series; if there is a civilian out there who does not know that peter parker’s complacency led to his uncle’s death and the subsequent drive of spider-man‘s heroism, then he or she does not belong at the theater with the fans. we got enough of the questions about telepathy vs. telekinesis from the new x-men ‘fans’; i don’t look forward to a future of questions of the likes: ‘so spider-man used to be venom?’

~ thesis quote: ‘i’ve been working on my thesis all day‘

~ feeling my best was never good enough:
here is something nice to do without leaving the comfort of your computer: click here send a fax to president bill clinton, demanding clemency for u.s. political prisoner leonard peltier [w]

~ as long as you are in the mood for faxing president clinton, click here to demand a moratorium on federal executions. you may oppose the racist system that dispenses them or you may detest their archaic barbarism – take your pick!

~ thesis quote: ‘what’s all this meat doing all over the floor?’

~ enough high school drama for a week:

instead our attention is turned to the release of action! 4, the fantastic photobooth project
from icki of sty! zine [w]. the book is far more
fascinating than i could have imagined, full of stories of which you only see a slice and are left desperate to complete or construct. this is by far one of the finest of icki’s productions yet, and i am not saying this because the angry red planet had the honor of designing the cover or because of the freaking amazing 1967 spider-man board game which icki has graciously donated to our spider-man museum!
you now are encouraged to stop what you are doing and put $3 in an envelope addressed to:
icki
p.o.box 11906

berkeley, california
94712

and

before you seal the envelope, add 2 (maybe 3) more dollars for a copy of slander 7, the latest bomb set by mimi n. [w] the fuse is lit while lulling you with hints of what it is to be in love with icki,
before atomizing every piece of your private (to sexual) and public (to imperial) environment, demanding that you reconstitute them with an understanding of the sources of the cultural framework in which you quietly reside. in a fun way, though.

these powerhouses are two separate zines, of course, but as they share a p.o.box, i don’t think they would mind saving the envelopes or the stamps. if they do, have them take it up with us!

~ rebelonet [w] kicks our week off right by condemning the angry red planet in the same sentence as k10k! right on!

~ in light of the fact that the angry red planet is not a blog, we consider the navigation to be appropriate for the nature of the page. if you can’t deal with it, contact us or try going to diaryland [w].

~ mimi leaves her latest [w] open-ended for a degree of ambiguity. the angry red planet would like to quote for clarity:
   ‘some time later, when i feel a little safer, we’ll assassinate the president and take over the government…’
