10/25/04: The Week of October 25, 2004
****RIDING RHYTHMS….this is music that fits right in with the presidential
election that you can let play in the background as you read the true
tales. LISTEN
****LATE BREAKING NEWS (updated constantly)…. TODAY
****THIS IS WHERE YOU
CAN FIND WHAT PRESIDENT BUSH IS DOING….MR. BUSH
****HERE IS WHERE YOU
CAN FIND WHAT HIS HONEY, MRS. BUSH, IS DOING….MRS. BUSH
****TWO WARS ARE BETTER
THAN ONE (some people die, some people make profits with u.s. army contracts.) WAR
****CONFRONTATIONS ALL OVER THE PLACE….new yorkers
are yelling and screaming at each other spouting the rhetoric of their
respective political parties. wear a button and
you are easily identified. the ralph
nader people get it the worst. it
is scary. biggest battles seem to be at the green
markets.
****HALLOWEEN IS ON THE WAY… the way the kiddies do trick or treat in the big
apple is strange. it is a great deal different
from the way they do it in the suburbs. all the
parent needs is a bathrobe and slippers. pumpkins
are selling like wild. some of us are going to
dress as cab drivers for the spooky night.
****FLU HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED….nine people in a nursing home in harlem have come down with the flu. city
authorities are doing very little in this crisis. mayor
bloomberg brags that his 95 year old mother can’t
get a flu shot. also, thousands have started
calling in because their landlords are not giving them heat as required by
law.
****PHILOSOPHY FROM THE
WORLD OF HACK (people will wonder at your sophistication)…. “this year's tax freedom day was april
11th.”
****YENTA YACK FROM THE
BACK OF THE HACK (what they are talking about in the yellow mobile
conveyance lounge)….the biggest cry baby in town. the
new york yankees
lost. a number of people are happy about it.
****THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY (what the media didn't tell you).... a u.s. army captain is trying to get
out of the army. he has decided that he makes the
policy, not the army. the press neglects to
mention that the army captain’s lawyer is a mafia lawyer.
****THE EARL THEATER (it used to be on 161st street in the bronx.
now it is here and this week's feature is a trip around nyc.
you can see it at CINEMA
**THE EARL THEATER ALWAYS SHOWED A DOUBLE FEATURE
AND HERE WE ARE WITH A SECOND FLICK. a mariachi
band on the streets of el barrio. MARIACHI
****THE HEY ABBOTT
AWARD (an epistle about life)....famous talk show host tells listeners how
to live their lives, yet he appears to be unable to keep his own lips
zipped. if he is so innocent of sexual harassment
of an employee, why is trying to make a deal with his accuser? EPISTLE
****TAKE A HIKE (this
week's street festival)…. there is an absolutely wonderful display at rockefeller center that lets you pretend
that you are the president of the united states. other things to do can be
found at TAKE A HIKE
****POSSIBILITIES
(could it not be?)....that the lady who is the boss of the care
organization in iraq was not really taken
hostage? so far the major terrorist groups say
they don’t have her.
****ACTION, CAMERA,
ROLL IT (a small vignette of the big apple)…. a sunday
morning treat. go hear gospel in harlem. QUIET ON THE SET
****AMMA'S KITCHEN (a
recipe….this is what you would find cooking in a nyc
home)….nothing better than a plate of corned beef hash. GOOD EATS
****JASON BLAIR AWARD
(for the worst journalism during the previous week)….to the new york city newspapers and radio stations for not
reporting that the new york state attorney
general is starting an investigation of the payola our radio stations get
for playing certain music. we found the news in an
industry newspaper which cited sony, emi, warner music group and
universal music group.
****THE MOST WANTED
TOUR IN THE BIG APPLE….can you imagine driving around all day with two
lawyers? you too can have a tour by going to TOUR INFO
**and if you want to
hear what happy tourists had to say about the tour, just go HAPPY
****CELEBRITY SIGHTING
(media adulation)….rip torn that very strange actor. STAR
****JOKE DU JOUR (told
to me by the passengers)….this week the punch line is “i
can bring her in on wednesdays and thursdays” and you can hear it at AUDIO
****IF YOU WANT TO HEAR
A RECENT GABBY CABBY BROADCAST, CLICK HERE. LISTEN
