Elia Kazan turns 93
Born September 7, 1909 in Turkey, Elia Kazan made a big name for himself as a movie director, particularly for A Streetcar Named Desire.
As a foolish youth Kazan dabbled in the commie nonsense fashionable among the literati. However he earned great ire from his old Hollywood pals by appearing as a friendly witness in front of the House Unamerican Activities Committee. He ultimately won the debate from his critics by pure artistic force, making his most highly regarded movie as a metaphorical defense. On the Waterfront starred full-strength young Marlon Brando rebeling against a corrupt labor union, explaining why he switched sides.
The cool people, however, pick as Kazan's masterpiece A Face in the Crowd, 1957. This tale of corrupt media figures follows the rise of a surprisingly evil young Andy Griffith like you never seen. Scene after scene of sexy wrongness- and a potent argument against democracy, really.

Real outlaw country
David Allan Coe was born September 6, 1939. Happy 63rd birthday!!!
Coe has written numerous hit country songs. His biggest hit has probably been "Take This Job and Shove It." That's a decent novelty song, but his best mainstream song was probably the rock hard sentimentality of "Would You Lay with Me in a Field of Stone." Tanya Tucker had the biggest hit, but look up the Johnny Cash version.
Perhaps more interesting, Mr. Coe really put the "outlaw" into outlaw country. He did this not so much by serving hard prison time in his youth -any retard can do that- but by the scandalous records he made with no thought of ever being able to put them into record stores. Thirty plus years ago, before there was a world wide web and alternate distribution and such, he was writing really and truly controversial and "offensive" material that you couldn't even acknowledge in decent company -to this day. Heck, he won't even list most of these titles on his own website. Apparently many of the songs aren't even registered at BMI. The sexual and especially racial themes drew out his best hook writing though, and he animated the recordings with great outlaw gusto.
The catchiest and most infamous of these (not even the name of which can be printed in a decent family publication such as this) tells the comic angst of wounded pride of a white boy with, uhm, yolk on his face after his woman has left him for a black man. It's just wrong, ok? Though somewhat less infamous, those who know also favor "Nothing Sacred," the tale of a preacher with personal issues.
Don't even think about looking for these in a record store or even at Amazon. Not available. If you get the chance to see him live, he sometimes sells a CD with some of this stuff. When I bought the "X Rated Hits" at a DAC show in 2000, his people were literally selling it under the table. Cool, man!

The Troubles
The Irish troubles generally don't rate as my top concern- we've got our own troubles. However, just linking to this Onion-type Irish news satire site got a fellow blogger slammed hard enough from some loyalist idiot to spook her.
Anything that cheeses someone off this hard probably merits at least a quick look. The Portadown News seems to be taking shots both directions, such as their faux IRA announcement of a compensatory discount on cartons of cigarettes for families of their bombing victims.
I suspect that I for one am missing a lot, though. Reading some of the material, I get some idea of how ignorant I am of the history of their problems, and all the machinations of the current situation. The spoonful of humor sugar makes it easier to absorb some of what's going on, and how people are taking it. It's more palatable than dismal news reports, though it may be equivalent to getting US news from reading The Onion. At least it's funny.

Would you dare schtup a jew's wife at the Pal-O-Mart?
That's the question these outlaw comedy groups ask as the beastly boys make like pirates looking for booty. Sort of a valentine to the machismo of Ariel Sharon. Kinda.

Well, while you're on your way out for a bit of Israeli bashing, you might want to stop off at the "Pal-O-Mart," your one stop Palestenian superstore. "We might be beaten, but our prices won't be." T'aint neither one of these comedy outfits got any sense.

More dialogue with Hanania
At the risk of blogging a dead horse [could I possibly be the first person to come up with this turn of phrase?], here is some more email between myself and Palestenian-American activist Ray Hanania in response to my "stereotypes" essay. 9-4-2002:
Dear Mr. Hanania,
I've just published a second column about you and Jackie Mason on my Culpepper Log. It is, if I may be blunt, pretty critical of you.
In the interest of fair play though, I would be happy to print any response you care to make. Or of course you could always respond on your own site if you wish.
You'll also notice that I have posted our email correspondence from last week - again in the interest of putting out your side of the story.
Also, there is a bibliography with links to most of the stuff I could find about you, Mason, Zanie's controversy, etc. Any other suggested links to add to this would be appreciated, such as columns written in your defense in various papers. I already have at least a couple. I'd be glad to add more.
Thanks,
Al
----------------------------------------------------
You're entitled to your opinion,a lthough you have it all wrong. But, the reference to George Bush and "hebrew" translation is less about so-called ZOGs as it is a reference to getting his marching orders from a foreign head of state, Ariel Sharon. But, maybe it makes better copy to promote hatred and bigotry. I noticed you also didn't mention any of Jackie Mason's objectionable comments nor commented on them. Again, it reflects on your personal biases which, thankfully in America, we Americans are allowed to express our opinions.
regards
Ray Hanania
--------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Hanania,
First thanks for your prompt reply to my email. You have repeatedly given me timely responses. You definitely get points with me for that.
However, you are wrong in saying that I promote hate. I certainly do not hate you personally. As I said, you'd probably be ok to be buddies with. Perhaps next time I get to Chicago I'll get the chance to buy you a beer.
I'm not saying these things in anger, or just to be mean. I intend to be treating you with respect as an equal, having an adult conversation. That means holding you to the same standards of civil discourse as the cracker next door. That also means holding you to the same standards to which I would hold Mr. Mason. That also means being as specific as possible about EXACTLY which statements I find objectionable and why.
For example, do you realize how inflammatory your business about Bush translating his speeches from Hebrew is? You say this is "less about so-called ZOGs as it is a reference to getting his marching orders from a foreign head of state, Ariel Sharon."
See, this is just the kind of thing I'm talking about. That's exactly the point of the ZOG [Zionist Occupation Government] nonsense; claiming that American politicians are just stooges or Manchurian candidates for Jews and Israel. With these comments you are, for starters, essentially accusing President Bush of treason- allegiance to a foreign power rather than protecting the US and our interests.
I'm not sure how to express to you what a deadly serious charge you are making against the president- YOUR president. One should not make such accusations unless they are true, and you can present some evidence. That he tends to see the Israeli point of view as superior to the Palestinians does not mean he has sold out.
Nor does this "joke" about Bush getting marching orders from Israel jibe with the observable facts. Was Dubya's call for a Palestenian state a Sharon trick? Are the tens of billions of American tax dollars sent to the Palestenian authority and various Arab governments a Jewish backed plot? Words have meaning, brother. You should be careful.
By the way, if I were going to "hate" you, it would be for making me defend Bush. I didn't vote for him, and he cheeses me off real regularly. Yet even I have to defend him against charges of treason.
The thing about Jackie Mason's comments is that I couldn't find anything particularly obnoxious or hateful. I went through numerous searches on combinations suggested by you in our earlier correspondence, through numerous search engines. I did not find ANY egregious statements. There just doesn't seem to be anything there analagous to your more fringe statements. If you can come up with some specific columns or news stories where Mason has crossed the line, I will be all ears.
Probably the most controversial thing I could find was his suggestion that Arafat be tried in court as a murderer. This is certainly controversial, but he wrote this after documents surfaced showing Arafat personally signing off on the expense vouchers to buy the materials to make the suicide belts being used to kill innocent Israelis. You might disagree with Mr. Mason's analysis of what to do about this discovery, but you cannot reasonably claim that it is beyond the pale of reasonable discourse under these circumstances.
Moreover, "Jackie Mason says bad things too" does not relieve you of the responsibility for the things that YOU say- even if he had said bad things. This is just the kind of response that I had in mind when I accused you of childish behavior.
In short, I'm trying to do my bit to raise the bar in our civil discourse. You seem like an ok fellow, but you have a couple of wires crossed. I intend my comments to be a brotherly rebuke- not hateful, but instructive.
Thanks again for your input.
Al

Ray Hanania, Walking bundle of stereotypes
Ray Hanania, now famous for not getting a ten minute opening shot for Jackie Mason, gives a good example of the problem with stereotypes. The problem is that stereotypes are often largely based on truth. It's not nice to pre-judge somebody you don't know on the basis of their race or culture, yet the stereotyped expectations are often based on observable behavior patterns. It is prejudiced and bad to blanketly judge someone based on their race, but it is not racist pre-judging to notice that the Rev. Al Sharpton actively personally embodies the worst stereotypes of his race. Geez, you'd have to poke your eyes out not to see it.
Let's examine some stereotypes: Palestenians and Arabs often seem to have characteristics of being petulant and childish, with eternal martyr complexes and anxious to scapegoat anyone else, usually Jews, for their problems. They're given to perpetual childish lying, insisting the very most opposite of any real truth- and get righteously double and triple indignant when anyone doubts their arbitrary and hallucinatory claims. They like to arbitrarily make the most assinine accusations, accusing Jews of THEIR own worst crimes [such as calling Jews "nazis" even while THEY are sucking up umpteen copies of Mein Kampf - and acting on them]. They tend to "act out," like spiteful children lashing out- throwing embarassing public tantrums, or much worse. They'll make wildly paranoid accusations against everyone else, but have huge tantrums when their own real, true documented words and deeds are presented. Most of all, they will never accept responsibility for their own problems, no matter what they've done.
The problem is that these "stereotypes" tend to conform to fact, but that it's still not right to just ASSUME these characteristics will be true of any given person, because not everyone conforms to the stereotypes.
Ray Hanania, however, goes a long way toward personally fulfilling all these worst stereotypes- starting with his constant indignant objection to stereotyping. He said in one interview, for example, that he likes to open a comedy show with a line about seeing the crowd as "potential hostages" because he's Palestenian. Ha, ha. See how foolish you are to be having those kind of thoughts about this Yakov Smirnov aw shucks kind of loveable dude? Unless you realize that Mr. Cuddly here also said, "These are events we could never have hoped for. It proves that by standing up to Israel�s brutality, and even in the face of losing so many innocent Palestinian lives either to Israeli Army murder or suicide bombings, the Palestinians will defeat Israel. Now is not the time to surrender to Israel and accept compromise." Yes, how wrong we would have been to assume that he was a crazy, violent Palestenian.
But it's not fair to judge him based on this one statement, when after all that was just one statement, and he's been so reasonable the rest of the time. Hanania says this. He also says elsewhere as part of a supposedly comic definition of the word "politician": ""Poli" -- means multiple. "tic-ians" means a lot of people who bug you and get under your skin. "Bugs that lie" would be a better name for that. But, we'd have to checkw ith the Israelis before making any changes. Afterall. Congress is Israeli Occupied Territory."
Did I mention wildly paranoid accusations? Listed on his website as one of his favorite jokes: "President Bush will no longer hold impromptu press conferences. His staff says the President needs at least three days to translate the documents from Hebrew into English before he will read them to the press." This is his idea of humor? You are poopie-head, ha ha! Except that he's more specifically slandering the president and re-hashing some of the most hateful and destructive cheap "ZOG" anti-semitism.
Did I mention arbitrarily insisting the opposite of any real truth? "Sharon doesn't want peace with the Palestinians. He wants peace without them." Palestenians, remember, are the ones drawing maps with no Israel. It is he who thinks the time is right to think about "correcting the original injustice of 1948 and restoring Palestinian control over all of Palestine."
Note that these quotes are not all from the supposed one time he was ever unreasonable, as he keeps insisting.
Note also the stereotypically childish way that he refuses to take responsibility on the basis of feeling. He shouldn't be held accountable for things that he wrote when he was mad. No sir, you are not given license to have a temper tantrum. You are a 49 year old man, not an eight year old girl. Also, the classmates you are egging on are not going to respond by putting a tack on teacher's chair; they're going to respond by killing people. When some jackass who's on the edge of reality to start with sees this column and decides to act on it, it will not do one bit of good for you to tell the victims parents that they should just understand that you were really mad you wrote that, but you didn't REALLY mean it. OK?
Throwing together the aforementioned attributes of having a martyr complex, and childishly insisting on the breathtakingly backwards statements about reality, "Hi. Does anyone know Jackie Mason? I have a bill I'd like to give him for all the publicity and PR I got him ..." He says this after he has drug Mason's good and internationally known name through the mud for cheap publicity for his unknown self. It wasn't Jackie Mason or Zanie's management calling the press in and throwing around hateful accusations. This is just perverse.
He says whatever kind of hateful, slanderous stuff he wants, but expects childish indulgence as a voice of "moderation." The bar has been set so low that he does indeed qualify as a "moderate." That is, Ray Hanania has not personally gone out killing any Jews (so far as I know). That he sometimes rhetorically supports those who do should just be ignored, because most of the time he doesn't.
Finally, Mr. Hanania's personal slurs against Mr. Mason. He accuses Mason of living in a "glass house intifada" when complaining of anyone else's racism. Says Hanania of Mason, "Being called a racist by him is like being called ugly by a pig." I did numerous types of searches looking for Mason's bigotry, but there was very scarce to be found. Here's the worst thing I could find on Mason: He was apparently caught on tape in some private convesation ten years ago using an insulting Yiddish word to describe David Dinkins. Shocking! [Actually, the worst thing I found on Mason was Sally Jesse Raphael's accusation that Mason felt her up. That's just nasty. I'd slap him myself for that one - if I thought it were true. I know Jews are supposed to be cheap, but under those circumstances I think he'd come across with $50 for a hooker. Or so I'd hope. But I digress.]
Now in fairness, Ray Hanania is not Hitler. He's not Yasser Arafat. He hasn't killed anyone. He's just an American running his fool mouth. You're allowed to do that here. He was also courteous and prompt in responding to my inquiries, and does often make nice concilliatory gestures. He'd probably be ok to make friends with; you could reason with him most of the time. Not being violent, when he starts getting all crazy you can just call it a night and leave.
Just hope he doesn't make you come see his lame "comedy" show. I'm sorry, but Arabs don't know from funny.Labels: ray_hanania

Ray Hanania, Comedian or Terrorist Apologist?
Largely unknown, Ray Hanania, a Palestenian-American attempting to jump-start a comedy career found himself bumped from an opening spot for Jackie Mason. Right away, Mason was put on the defensive, with presumptions of "racism." This didn't seem just right, so us good folks in blogland dug up some of Mr. Hanania's published writings on the internet, including this particularly inflammatory item from a Lebanese newspaper.
Looking for his side of the story, I wrote Mr. Hanania directly. For starters, I rush to give him credit for his prompt and courteous reply. He responded to my initial query within an hour. I'll write up a final report as a separate entry, but here is the whole of our correspondence. Following is our exchange of emails:
------------------------------
Dear Mr. Hanania,
Following up on your current controversy regarding the Jackie Mason slot, I wanted to ask a couple of questions for clarification.
You have presented yourself as being just a genteel guy trying to be understanding of all sides. From your webpage "I have tried to keep my public comments consistent. It is not easy with the pressures and emotions of the Middle East violence.
I oppose violence and have consistently advocated for peace in the Middle East that includes the recognition of Israel and the Palestinian rights."
Or does this column you wrote for a Lebanese paper reflect your real views? Remember, you wrote here among other things "The dream of compromise with Israel is over, today, and it is clear to nearly everyone that Sharon has opened the door to the new possibility of correcting the original injustice of 1948 and restoring Palestinian control over all of Palestine, an action that the pro-Israel American apologists have dubbed as the �destruction� of the state of Israel."
Further in this same article, you write "These are events we could never have hoped for. It proves that by standing up to Israel�s brutality, and even in the face of losing so many innocent Palestinian lives either to Israeli Army murder or suicide bombings, the Palestinians will defeat Israel.
Now is not the time to surrender to Israel and accept compromise.
Now is the time to forge ahead and demand even more."
In short, how does any of this jibe with the "recognition of Israel" that you have claimed, or your general claim of being just a friendly humorist?
It seems that the whole tone of your public presentation is a harsh anti-Israeli harangue. In light of this all-but-endorsement of suicide bombings, do you still insist that you are a victim of racism from Mr. Mason?
Quoting from the bio on your own website, "Hanania is an outspoken advocate for peaceful compromise between Arabs and Israelis and has dedicated his life to bringing Arabs and Jews together. He has consistently opposed violence."
Please help me reconcile these seemingly widely divergent statements.
I will be publishing a follow-up on this within a few hours at the Culpepper Log, and I want to get the facts straight. To that end, I would very much appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Al Barger
------------------------
The comments in that column were a reflectioin of the harsh realities of the moment ... it was an attempt by me to convey where we could be headed if Israel's government continues with its current practices ... it certainly was forceful, but it does not reflect my views ... it did reflect my emotions ...
And that is the problemw ith the Middle East conflict ... it impacts ALL of us ... we all live in glass houses and we all are victims to being drawn into the emotional fight, no matter how hard we resist ... we are all human ...
For all that Ihave said, no one has once pointed out the things that Mason has said about Arabs and Palestinians ... the emotional battle keeps our two sides apart ... and does not want moderates on either side to come together ...
Thanks for your comments
Ray Hanania
------------------------
Dear Mr. Hanania,
Any other criticisms aside, thank you for your very prompt and courteous response. I appreciate that.
What can you give me about Mason's comments on Arabs? Any news stories, web links, etc? I would certainly be interested in that. I would be perfectly willing to take him to task if he has any really egregious statements.
Still, it seems a bit much to dismiss your column as "emotions" rather than "views." If we were having a couple of drinks and you spouted off a sentence or two that came out harsh, hey maybe that was the booze talking.
It's a lot harder to slough off a whole column like this, though, saying it doesn't represent your REAL views. You must have spent at least a couple of hours composing this, editing it. If they aren't YOUR views, then whose views are they? The words didn't just jump up there on their own. Does being angry relieve you of responsibility for your words and deeds?
Again, thank you for your input, and I would appreciate any critical material on Mr. Mason that you can supply.
Al Barger
------------------------
Al, I understand your feelings ... but the Middle East is like no other conflict in the world ... no other conflict has the emotion levels that have been ingrained in our two communities for more than 100 years ... we come close and fall back ... two years ago we were hugging, kissing and shaking hands after years of killing each other and calling each other names ... and then we are back at the battlefield doing worse things to each other ... this cycle continues and I am confident we will be back together shaking hands again ...
Search google for jackie Mason and Meir Kahane or KACH Party and also David DInkins ... I am not one to do what he is doing and slander him, but he has no right to throw stones from his Glass House Intifadah ...
Thanks
Ray Hanania
------------------------
Thanks, I'll look for Mason, and with combos of the other names you gave.
It definitely does NOT constitute slander to quote someone's own words back to them.
Al
-----------------------
It is slander to state that a woman who is married to me is a self-hating Jew ... or to say that I am a Nazi, anti-Semite, Jew-hater, because I expressed one bad opinion about a political situation, against more than 100 good opinions in the middle of a political conflict ..
Thanks

Reading the Koran causes religious revelation? Mental breakdown? Both?
Searching for artistic responses to the world situation as we approach the anniversary of 9-11, I noticed a song. "The King's Library" comes out as some kind of Western ballad form song describing a religious awakening/mental breakdown caused by reading a forbidden book. The Koran?
There's definitely more to this song than anything on the crappy Springsteen record, I'll tell you that.

Cristy Lane tv album = al Qaeda plot
It may merely bore or mildly annoy you at first, but pay closer attention and it becomes more bizarre and alarming with each viewing. You're viewing 1000 commercials for Cristy Lane's gospel album.
The ads begin on a freaky note: an endorsement from Sgt. Barry Sadler, singer of the "Ballad of the Green Berets." See, our guys in Vietnam weren't alone. There was someone else with them in the trenches (uh, presumably in spirit only): Cristy Lane. What? Vietnam was a hundred years ago or so, and Sadler died in some kind of cheesy soldier of fortune deal in Guatemala in 1989. Huh? This has what to do with selling an album?
Then we start getting the music, awful MOR pop gospel circa 1970. Not REAL gospel music that someone might get some benefit out of- your Elvis, Blind Willie Johnson, Soul Stirrers, or even Jimmy Swaggart, but the worst kind of hack-a-politan country crap. Are you rushing to the phone yet?
Then look at the video inserts over the music montage. See the images of Cristy hanging out with the crippled kid. Aww, now you can't resist that. You like the crippled kid, right? Are you reaching for your wallet now? Come on, she's hanging out with crippled children! I could see appreciating the bracing cynicism of this display, but that ain't gonna make me BUY a gospel album. That CAN'T be the reaction they're banking on.
Yet banking on it they surely must be, for this ad seems to be running literally thousands of times. I've personally seen it at least 100 times, and I'm not that big a tv fiend. [It eats into my quality blog time.]
Now I'm starting to get a little scared. These ads cost money. Somebody has to be buying this thing. Otherwise, someone's just throwing away millions of dollars just to make our whole culture look bad, washing over us with the bathetic saccharine of the worst recorded music ever.
Ah, now the pieces start falling into place. Who would want to send the country into a tailspin of depression? Who would have the fiendish determination to make our whole culture the laughingstock of the world?
BIN LADEN Of course. It all makes sense now. Who else would be sick and twisted enough to make me listen to Cristy Lane singing "One Day at a Time" over and over again? Who is that sadistic? Of course my countrymen aren't actually brain dead enough to actually spend money on this. The whole thing is an insidious terrorist plot to confuse and de-moralize America. Now we must defeat the evil ones of al Qaeda once and for all.
So let's get going. There's no other choice. God willing, we will prevail in peace and freedom from fear and in true health through the purity and essence of our natural fluids.
God bless you all.
