WASHINGTON, DC With last week's announcement that it will award Halliburton a lucrative contract to put out Iraqi oil-well fires after the war, the U.S. government has officially stopped trying to hide its favoritism toward the Houston-based company. "When we first started cutting Halliburton sweetheart deals, we'd worry about how it would look, with Dick Cheney being their former CEO and all," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. "Somewhere along the line, though, we just kind of said, 'Ah, fuck it.'" Fleischer added that Halliburton has something "real juicy" coming its way when the U.S. invades Iran in July 2004.

I had to miss Willy Porter (again) tonight. This is my only free night this week. But I'm listening to his CD.
After eight long years, Prick finally has a new record. I haven't heard any of it yet, but I'm going to have to try and find it - oh yeah, internet-only release.
And since I'm in sort of an industrial mood, I think I'm going to have to find Zoar. I just read an article on them, and they sound interesting.
I tried going to patmastelotto.com, but it redirected me to http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com/index.htm
I found Robert Fripp's tour diaries. Interesting fellow. Here's what he had to say about the Milwaukee show:
A generous audience in a mixed standing-sitting venue. Something to my left was disturbing. Not quite violation, more off-putting. I found myself unable to go to the front of the stage and acknowledge the audience, without knowing quite why. From the back of the stage I saw why: a library of vinyl records to be signed, just to my left. This was not a bad person, but a person with an agenda that was other to mine. I was there to play music. He was there to get his records autographed.
