On Thursday, January 20, 2005, George W. Bush will be inaugurated as president of the United States — AGAIN. For a nation that prides itself on being the land of the free, these are some interesting factoids to peruse. With that in mind, Mike’s Inauguration Guide might be of interest to those of you who live in the US. Various other calls to action are listed at Velvet Revolution. It is good to see the Bush-Neocon opposition alive and kicking, I must add. From all of us here at KUR: keep up the good work — it will make a difference, and that’s what matters.

Post Office to Issue XXX Stamps
The U.S. Postal Service “need to generate some money pronto”, according with the office’s insider Rodney Cockburn. Now, with that name, he should consider start a career in the XXX field and maybe contribute to the cause. Just an idea… (via genetic material)

Grand Wazoo in ’72
Moving along from Roxy to Grand Wazoo, here’s Deutschlandhalle, Berlin, Sept 15 1972. GMail-account, anyone?

Say what? Christian Wrestling.
I can hear the commentary for this:
— Ooh Kaïn took a mean hit there!
— Yeah, ya don’t mess with Abel and get away with it.
— Wait – there’s Mozes in the rebound!

Next, no doubt: Buddhist Boxing and Taoist Tennis.
A Very Exciting Post
If things look a little funky around here (specifically the top navbar), that would be because I’ve been messing with the stylesheet. Making room for the quiz page link turned out rather tricky. So anyway: kindly refresh your browser please.
Album Covers – Again
“A friend of mine sent me a link the other day that has kept me entertained with what has become my first top ten list. I guess ‘bottom 10’ would be more appropriate, since it goes from ‘really bad’ to ‘crime against humanity‘.” (via attu)
Dear Diary
Dear diary,
Today I purchased a DVD-player at the rediculous price of € 55! Imagine my excitement when I got home and had it play some groovy Sade! I think later this evening, I may well be putting on some Norah Jones — call me eccentric! Life’s treating me well, dear diary. Catch up with you soon.
Yours,
Barry
