	in the nick of time According to a prospective study on the dangers of smoking that date back half a century, cigarette smokers die an average of 10 years sooner than nonsmokers. At least half, and possibly up to two-thirds, of people who smoke from youth are eventually killed by their habit, a quarter of them while in middle age (ages 35 to 69). "There are risks in life, but you don't have many things that kill... Posted by xtop at 04:00 PM \| Comments (3)

	i love the world TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian man, driving a car packed with weapons and ammunition, was intent on killing as many people as possible in a Toronto neighborhood but gave up the plan at the last minute when he encountered a friendly dog, police said on Thursday. The middle-aged man, who police said was mentally disturbed, had planned to carry out the shooting spree on Wednesday to ensure he would be put in... Posted by xtop at 01:56 PM \| Comments (0)

	BTK: Confirmed Wichita police said today that the FBI has confirmed that a letter received by KAKE, Channel 10, in May was sent by the BTK serial killer, as was another letter received by the department earlier this month. Police already have confirmed that a letter mailed to The Wichita Eagle in March was from man who killed eight people in the 1970s and 1980s. "We truly feel that he is trying to communicate...

	our man in taiwan: i don't care if ya burn dc talks love, smoking and quitting one to confirm the other. his tone when talking quitting is much more Frank Mansfield, while mine is total Omar Baradansky, a metaphor only five people will ever bother to get. There are many ways to prove you love someone. Quitting smoking should never be one of them. Mind you, my girlfriend has never complained over my smoking, and regardless of the fact...

	the rock enigma Bill Brooks, a longtime family friend, says he has witnessed the rock's growth. "When I first saw it, it was sitting in the corner of the yard," said Brooks. "It was a little rock, and over the years it's gotten bigger and bigger. I'm scared of that rock." Price said fear often was the reaction when she showed the rock and then told the story behind it. "When people see it, they... Posted by xtop at 11:53 PM \| Comments (0)


	two months // odds.ends Two months. Bam. Fuckit. This is simple. A cakewalk. Commit Lozenge dude, you are a PUSSY. Though, the other night, I was driving down some innocuous Kansas City street with the radio off and heard, whizzing past someone, the word cigarettes perfectly. I sometimes imagine walking into a store and buying a pack, but only in the same way you sometimes envision walking into a bar and buying whiskey sours all night,...

	the lies of michael moore Indeed, Moore's affected and ostentatious concern for black America is one of the most suspect ingredients of his pitch package. In a recent interview, he yelled that if the hijacked civilians of 9/11 had been black, they would have fought back, unlike the stupid and presumably cowardly white men and women (and children). Never mind for now how many black passengers were on those planeswe happen to know what Moore does not... Posted by xtop at 06:38 PM \| Comments (7)

	regrets to the apologists My condolences to the staff and management of The Post. I had no idea you felt so deeply about Ronald Reagan. I was a reporter and editor at The Post during the launch of Reagan's "revolution," and we had a somewhat different take on his presidency then. Reagan nurtured the strong and punished the weak. He fostered the great regressive shift in economic rewards that continues to this day, while ignoring a... Posted by xtop at 06:43 PM \| Comments (2)

	pitch(fork) - 06.09.04 "The guy I was up against was standing there drinking a beer, and he says, 'Here, hold this,' and he goes, throws the hammer really far, comes back and takes another swig and says, 'That's a pretty good hammer throw.' That kinda got me hooked." While the Von Bondies have floated along on the momentum of the Detroit scene, they've never stood up and made themselves heard. So "C'mon...

	I HATE YOU, SMARTY JONES it's actually very sweet. really. "After about two hours of non-stop Costas I was ready to attack the television set with a baseball bat. If Bob Costas is talking about a mountain, you can pretty much assume that in real life that mountain is just a molehill, and the man could not stop shoving his head up that horses ass. For hours all I heard about was Smarty Jones! Smarty Jones! Smarty... Posted by xtop at 02:21 PM \| Comments (1)


	nixon velocity President George W. Bushs increasingly erratic behavior and wide mood swings has the halls of the West Wing buzzing lately as aides privately express growing concern over their leaders state of mind. In meetings with top aides and administration officials, the President goes from quoting the Bible in one breath to obscene tantrums against the media, Democrats and others that he classifies as enemies of the state. Worried White House aides paint... Posted by xtop at 12:36 PM \| Comments (0)


	i was the world Or so it seems. I dunno what exactly my Pitchfork status is these days, but it doesn't necessarily bode well. Maybe it does. I haven't the foggiest, really, as I've become inured to the concept of being a writer means being treated like Amway, but without the swanky merchandise. So, maybe someday I'll tell the saga. Maybe they actually like me and there will be no telling, only more writing. Maybe you'll... Posted by xtop at 12:10 PM \| Comments (0)

	how it feels to get shot via cruel: It took less than a second for the bullet to destroy part of the intricate structure that renders the hand the most flexible part of the human skeleton. But it took about 15 minutes for the pain to kick in. And, once it did, it eclipsed any physical anguish Schneider had ever felt -- including that of bones broken while skiing. "Time seemed to slow down during the shooting," she... Posted by xtop at 03:30 PM \| Comments (0)
