The Morning Tease
Are you up? The news and nods you need. Posted first thing in the morning and then in waking dreams all day.Tuesday, December 28, 2004
Tuesday. 12/28/04. Feel the pain of everyone. Then feel nothing.
1. The costliest disaster ever
Death tolls from the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunamis were in the mid 20,000’s at bedtime last night. Now over 33,000 according to CNN, 45,000 according to AFP in Singapore. Such massive death, destruction and horror. Such a random, unpredictable air to the mayhem. And the dissension starts in the dry, safe parts of the world. UN critics call the US ‘stingy’ with aid. Pompous critics mock the sympathy going out wondering where we were all while millions starve in Korea.
To sate those critics, Internet superstar Shit Ridiculous says:

Those people in the know are also the ones who told me that Jenna Bush is a huge fan of Death Cab for Cutie, so I believe them. Read more http://www.flight93crash.com/ .
3. New Lows
For the dollar, George Carlin and Liza Minelli.
4. Really Great Stuff
Nada Surf “Your Legs Grow” and Daniel Johnston “Rock 'n' Roll/EGA.”
5. Partying with Dignity
There was an MTV True Life about people using Ecstasy to ease the dying process for both the victim and survivors of terminal illness. The FDA's approval puts the study on track to become the first test of a psychedelic substance since 1963 at Harvard, where drug guru Timothy Leary lost his teaching privileges after using students in experiments with LSD and other hallucinogens. Sounds like the beginning of a good novel.
6. Exile on Main Street
So, they are watching the holiday parade and bam. Out cold. The good news: "The dancers kept (dancing), Pinocchio just kept saying 'hi, " Murillo said.
