Journal Journal: Rumsfeld's Rules (online, and not online

Donald Rumsfeld wrote an interesting 13 page document when he joined the Bush administration in 2001. He based this on his 20+years in Government, and titled the document, Rumsfeld's Rules. David Brin's Blog (http://davidbrin.blogspot.com) discusses his rules (here: http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2006/04/catching-up-on-science-and-other-cool.html ) and requested that the public start to DISCUSS these rules. Therefore, I have started to publicize the rules at my blog.... Here is the introduction to the series. In order to NOT overwhelm the public, I am releasing 2parts of his journal, daily Please start HERE! http://markbnj.blogspot.com/2006/04/rumsfeld-his-rules-for-life-intro-to.html The Actual discussion of his rules for working in the white house is 6 posts long and starts HERE... http://markbnj.blogspot.com/2006/04/rumsfeld-my-rules-for-life-first-in.html

Journal Journal: Opie and Anthony prediction?

OK:
at request of some others: The "official" Opie and ANTHONY (returns) Theory
Originally posted at"
I FULLY expect OPIE and Anthony to return to radio on 6/1/2004 as soon as the third year of their previous contract is expired..
(For another interesting conspiracy theory: O&A were kicked off the air, in NY, and 18 cities nationwide because they had a contest where listeners could win a trip to boston by doing certain "naughty" things in very public spots.
One couple (only 1 of 3 that day!) was caught in ST. Patricks's Cathedral in NYC, and the producer (point counter) decided to mouth off to the cops that came, (instead of just ducking out silently)....
background... this was actually the THIRD "sex for sam" contest they ran, and was about the 20th time they had couples doing anal in ST Pat's, but was only the first time they were caught.
Talk about severe punishment. The ONLY REASON that they were canned was because the CATHOLIC league of NYC publicized this incident in the their newsletter, and started a letter writing campaign...
Rather then cancel their contract or FIRE them (making them available for a competitor in 6 months) INFINITY radio decided to pay them for balance of their 3 year contract (UP in 11 days!) (5mil/year each). This allowed Infinity to SILENCE them for 3 years!!!
WELL my guess is that on 6/1
  • a) O&A will have a new UNCENSORED radio show (no tape delay) on SATELLITE radio (SIRIUS or XM) (you will pay 10/month plus an extra $2-3 monthly for their subscription too...
  • b) INFINITY will again offer O&A a nationwide show, (tape delayed by a minute or two like before...
  • c) the REALLY good stuff will be on during the syndicated commercials, which will NEVER be done by the boys live again!.. YOU KNOW that they HATED doing commercials at all!
  • d) The satellite radio show subscription will also come with a free full time subscription to the studio web-cam. (I HOPE...
  • e) and finally... in order to protect themselves from liability

Infinity will do the following:

  • a) purchase the call letters of the existing WONA-AM and WONA-FM
    (Several months ago www.wona.com worked FINE, today YOU get a search engine...!) I call that a good theory!
  • b) swap call letters and give 102.7 in NYC the new moniker "wona-fm"
  • c) give wnew-fm a permanent retirement in NYC, or let the former wona-fm use it.
  • d) Infinity will then lease the ENTIRE studio, and infrastructure of 102.7 in ny to OPIE and ANTHONY, in lieu of payment for their services, and in conjunction with a XX% share of all commercials and simulcasting done.
  • e) infinity will agree to pay for any FCC fines, despite not being liable for content...
  • That's my prediction for June 1'st.... MarkB AKA MelKsuckz

Journal Journal: More On Andy Kaufman

Here's another Link regarding Andy, and his possible reappearance to the world: Originally posted at: This weblog's comments.. but belongs here!
ANDY to return on NATIONAL TV?
Before Taxi, Andy Kaufman was known for his comedy, and was OFTEN seen on Saturday Night Live.
Where else would be a better place to RE-APPEAR magically, after 20 years, except, on a LIVE show in 30 Rockefeller Plaza?!!!!
Nostradamus predicts that:
  • NBC will pre-empt the Saturday Night Live scheduled (repeat OR regular show) at the LAST minute to present a SPECIAL new live SNL.
  • ANDY KAUFMAN will be the special guest, and the guest host.
  • ANDY will have home movies of his last 20 years in silence.

  • EVERYONE from his past will come on, and Kick ANDY in the ass for screwing us up for the past 20 years.
  • ANDY will be front page news by 11:45PM worldwide as the FIRST person to ever return from the dead!

The end!

Journal Journal: ANDY KAUFMAN

Subject: Andy Kaufman 20 years after he died.
IS it 20 years since ANDY Kaufman died? Or was it all a hoax.???
See for yourself.
Here's an interesting bunch of LINKS.
My take? As someone old (and lucky) enough to have seen Andy perform (LIVE) on Saturday Night Live (twice), as well as watching the infamous "fight" on the ABC "Friday" show (on TV).
I say: ANDY WOULD actually be one of the FEW geniuses capable of successfully pulling this off.

Why the Discussion?
  • This week marks his 20th anniversary of his death
  • Last Sunday in LA there was a "small" remberance (see LONG LA Weekly article!)
  • Turns out he planted hidden references to his coming back before he died.
  • *YACT (Yet ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THEORY)
  • Andy was more then a comedian. He was one of the first PERFORMANCE ARTISTS, before the term was popular!

OK. The evidence (I've saved you from having to google all this!

  • The Press Release
  • http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040519/234/726q1.html
  • The Web site that went up Sept. 2003

  • http://www.andykaufmanlives.com/
  • A denial (with bad facts!)

  • A Fan weblog?

MELK Predicts:

OK.
In the middle of the night I had another vision.
(last one was about Opie and Anthony 6 months ago- that comes true in 10 days??)
MY VISION
Last week Tony Zamuda produces "Andy: Dead or Alive" on The 20th anniversary of his "death". This week.
Hold on
NBC pre-empts (regularly scheduled) Saturday Night Live, and presents a new show. WITH ....
