The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in Washington, DC this Christmas season.

President Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French
News Release:
President Bush and a giddy Jacques Chirac shake hands on the deal.
BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000."This is a bold step forward for America," said Bush. "And America will be stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with French Prime Minister Jack Sharaq, who was so kind to accept my offer of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild."Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going to fix it."The move has been met with incredulity from the beleaguered residents of Louisiana."Shuba-pie!" said New Orleans resident Willis Babineaux. "Frafer-perly yum kom drabby sham!"However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded by Republicans."This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we've just made 25 million dollars in pure profit.""This is indeed a smart move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again." The money gained from 'The Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped into the rebuilding of Iraq.

Bob Dylan Portrait Explores Early Songs
By FRAZIER MOORE, AP Television Writer 1 hour, 2 minutes ago
NEW YORK - "The Freewheelin'
Bob Dylan' , released in 1963, has one of the era's most memorable album covers. Gracing the album that features such folk anthems as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is a photo of the 21-year-old Dylan tripping through a snowy New York street with a radiant young woman hugging him close.
As a resident of Greenwich Village, I was dimly aware that this photograph I knew so well was snapped somewhere along my regular haunts. But I didn't much care where. Although I shared with Dylan the time he helped define, I had never really been a fan, never felt his magic. I never even owned that record.
I mention this only because of a magnificent film portrait, "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home," which airs as a two-part "American Masters" special at 9 p.m. EDT Monday and Tuesday on PBS (check local listings).
After seeing this 3 1/2-hour documentary, I was inspired to pinpoint the site of that fateful photo shoot: Jones Street, a single block that stretches between West Fourth and Bleecker, where I pass every day. And, now knowing, I retraced Dylan's steps in homage to him and his long-ago girlfriend, Suze Rotolo, and especially to what he represents.
After four decades of putting off Dylan, now I understand. Such is the wallop I got from "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home," a film I recommend not only to Dylan devotees and neophytes alike, but also to anyone trying to reconnect with where America was then, and grasp where it is today.
Years in the making, the film is a complex co-production, with ancillary products that include CDs, DVDs and a book. It is authorized by Dylan and draws on his vast archives, including 10 hours of on-camera interviews that the legendarily elusive singer-songwriter sat for with manager Jeff Rosen in 2001.
Shortly after that,
Martin Scorsese was brought in to make sense of 60 hours worth of footage.
"I'm predisposed to love Dylan's work, but what really hooked me on the project was the nature of him in the interviews," says the celebrated director, who traveled similar ground for his 1978 concert film, "The Last Waltz," focusing on Dylan's one-time backup group, The Band.
"Watching Dylan's eyes as he searches for these words, you see it all happening there," Scorsese says with evident delight. "He was so honest and so open, but also playing with you, and contradictory, and I said, `That's great! That's exactly what we need.'
"'Cause who's gonna figure the man out? We want an answer for everything, but he can't give you the answer! You know the man through his art, and he's still going. He doesn't know where he's gonna wind up. He's trying to get home. Like all of us, I guess."
During an exclusive chat with The Associated Press, Scorsese calls himself a latecomer to Dylan.
"I think it was 1965 with `Like a Rolling Stone,'" he says. "The way it revels in the bitterness: 'How does it feel to be on your own, no direction home.' Devastating! It grows with you as you grow older, and it doesn't go away."
Scorsese's film covers Dylan during that first, most revolutionary stretch — up through 1966, by which time he had moved on from his basic folk foundation and "gone electric," incurring the wrath of fans who accused him of betrayal, of selling out.
But Dylan, who has always followed his own muse, was unrepentant even after being booed by those who loved him most.
"I had a perspective on the booing," he recalls in the film, "because you got to realize you can kill someone with kindness, too."
Dylan had wanted success, whatever that might mean, but he never consented to be anyone's messiah. That was a role he scorned, like every role imposed on him as, at his own pace, he stayed in transit.
"Just when people think he gives you one thing," Scorsese marvels, "he gives you another."
The film explores how with loads of concert footage and other vintage material, some never before seen; interviews with figures who were there, including Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Maria Muldaur, Peter Yarrow and
Al Kooper, as well as the late Dave Van Ronk and Allen Ginsberg; and most notably, Dylan himself, who provides the narrative thrust of the film.
"I was born very far from where I was supposed to be, and so I'm on my way home," he declares at the start, and the film reaches back to tiny Hibbing, Minn., where, growing up, Robert Zimmerman felt so dislocated he even wondered if he was born to the right parents.
But grounding him early was the fearless folk singer Woody Guthrie, who proved a revelation: "You could listen to his songs and actually learn how to live."
By 1961, the lad rechristened Bob Dylan ("the name just popped into my head one day," he insists) had come to New York to sing songs and find his home in an age of social ferment. The times, they were a-changin', and Dylan was changing too.
And he kept on changing. Within a few years, Dylan and his band were getting booed at every date on a European tour.
"What happened to Woody Guthrie, Bob?" shouts one of many hecklers at the "new" Bob Dylan.
"I'm gonna get a new Bob Dylan," Dylan cracks later, backstage, "and use him: `Here's the new Bob Dylan. See how long HE lasts.'"
On July 29, 1966, shortly after gratefully returning home from that stormy tour, he was nearly killed in a motorcycle crash, and spent months recuperating. It marked the end of an era, and there the film ends.
Of course, Dylan, now 64, has continued to write, perform and record. But the temptation in this film is to speak of him in the past tense. Even he seems to do it.
"He's continued to evolve," Scorsese says. "But he's a creature of those times." Distant times, when he created songs still blowing in the wind. By the harshest measure, it's been decades since Bob Dylan "mattered." That's OK. Luminously, "No Direction Home" makes clear how much.

Two prayers
FEMALE PRAYER
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
As I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens doors,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Please Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows how to respond to "how big is my behind?"
I pray this man will love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.
Amen.

Hurricane Katrina benefit concert
Radio City tunes in to helpSep 21, 2005
BY RAFER GUZMÁN STAFF WRITER September 21, 2005
Pop singer Cyndi Lauper and legendary New Orleans bandleader Allen Toussaint may make an odd pair, but last night at Madison Square Garden they meshed perfectly on a soulful version of "I Know (You Don't Want Me No More)." It was a tribute to the debt American music owes to New Orleans, and an attempt to repay that devastated city.The performance was just part of "From the Big Apple to the Big Easy," a benefit concert that culled more than two dozen musical acts at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall, with hardworking musicians such as The Meters playing both. The shows were last-minute affairs, with several stars signing up even as Rod Stewart canceled due to an injury and New Orleans legend Fats Domino pulled out for unknown reasons. Scarlett Johansson introduced Elton John. And when former President Bill Clinton showed up to introduce John Fogerty, he received a rock star's welcome himself.
The Garden underwrote all costs for the shows and pledged all proceeds, plus an additional $1 million, to charities including The Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund and the MusiCares Hurricane Relief Fund, part of the Recording Academy behind the Grammys.Scheduled to last nearly five hours, the two concerts presented New Orleans as a birthplace of the early jazz and blues that inspired modern rock and roll.There were a few hints of the politics that have been stirred up by the hurricane. Elvis Costello made what might have been a reference to President George W. Bush's recent speeches: "There's been a lot of good words said in the last few days, and we've gotta make sure those promises are kept." Bette Midler was more overt, cracking wise about Bush and Republicans before launching into "I Think It's Going To Rain Today." Cyril Neville made his statement silently: His T-shirt read, "Ethnic Cleansing In New Orleans."The show opened with The Rebirth Brass Band playing a somber dirge as it walked slowly through the crowd. Ed Bradley of "60 Minutes" introduced Toussaint, who played a breezy version of "Southern Nights" at the piano and then remained there, serving as bandleader for Clarence "Frogman" Henry, The Dixie Cups, Art Neville and others.Costello followed a moody version of "On Your Way Down" with a funky, upbeat "Yes We Can." Elton John played a grandiose set that ended with the spiritual-themed "Levon." Fogerty charged through a number of bluesy rock tunes, including the trademark "Born on the Bayou."But many of the highlights came from mixing and matching. Lenny Kravitz, Buckwheat Zydeco and Ry Cooder traded vocals on the chugging blues "Hello Josephine." Jimmy Buffett was joined by Dave Matthews on the Neil Young classic "Heart Of Gold" and by Paul Simon on a relaxed version of "Sea Cruise."
