WAR ****THE GABBY CABBY BRANCH OFFICE IS ONCE AGAIN OPEN IN IRAQ….it may be there for twelve months or sixteen months or a hundred years. would you trust this man to send your children to iraq? this week’s exclusive true tale is that secretary of defense donald rumsfeld is actually hiding american troops in kuwait. that way, they don’t come under the official count. the issue is not whether or not the united states should have invaded iraq or not. the issue is that the war and the occupation are being run by a bunch of incompetent united states military schmucks who are getting a great many young americans and iraqis killed. ****THE HEAVILLY TOUTED NEW CABS FOR NEW YORK CITY ARE NONSENSE….their repair bills will be monstrous and the drivers will not make a single penny more driving them. as a matter of fact, the alleged money savings on the fuel will go only to the taxi garage owners.

THE PAST ****THE SNEAKY CAMERA (the hidden camera)….a growing collection of new yorkers are unaware that they are being watched by a certain taxi driver. new ones are added from time to time. take a peep at SNEAKY ****YENTA YACK FROM THE BACK OF THE HACK (what they are talking about in the yellow mobile conveyance lounge)….the country music association holding its annual awards in new york city and yet the big apple doesn’t have one country radio station. COUNTRY ****QUIET PLEASE, THIS IS THE LIBRARY (get away from the din of life)…. “churchill fighting and writing the second world war” by david reynolds and published by random house. just right for the folks who like a good history story and interesting side gossip as to how winston made the new york times pay all his hotel bills if they wanted to publish excerpts from his “six volumes of the second world war.” ****THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY (what the media didn't tell you)....the push to minimize the recent attempted hijacking of a cruise ship by pirates. since march 15 there have been 28 attacks against all categories of ships in that one area of the world alone. sounds like the cruise lines have a good public relations company with an arm into the media. ****STAY INDOORS IF IT RAINS (keep dry).... some great photos of mexican border towns and the illegals who are pouring into the united states by photojournalist julian cardona at the cue art foundation 511 west 25th street.UMBRELLA TIME ****THE EARL THEATER (it used to be on 161st street in the bronx. now it is here and this month's feature is "park avenue" which shows you how you are so poor because you don't live on this avenue with the rich people.

NASH ****CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE BIZARRE (hard to believe)....governor elect jon corizine of new jersey will now negotiate a new labor contract for the state with carla katz, the head of the 9,000 member local 1034 of the communications workers of america. he used to sleep with her which is why his wife left him. maybe, he still does. he isn’t talking and neither is she. ****POSSIBILITIES (could it not be?)....that the arabs are slowly but surely buying new york city. they just bought 230 park avenue and the essex house hotel on central park south. arafat (and his family still does) owned a whole bunch of buildings in manhattan which strangely enough have jewish tenants. ****STOP THE MUSIC (do you know what tv show this theme came from?)….the audio on the television shows was better than the show most of the time. a hint is "it is a western family."
