While not a complete Misfits lineup, the shows will feature "the closest thing to a Misfits reunion that the East Coast will see" and is set to happen on three dates. On Monday, February 28 at the Roxy Theatre in Boston, Wednesday, March 1 at the Spirit Performance Center in New York, and Thursday, March 2 at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, Doyle will join his former Misfits bandmate Glenn Danzig for a special 30-minute set of Misfits classics. Two west coast cities witnessed a Glenn and Doyle reunion late last year, marking the first time the two had shared a stage in some 20 years. |

General Is Scolded for Saying, 'It's Fun to Shoot Some People'
By ERIC SCHMITT
Published: February 4, 2005
ASHINGTON, Feb. 3 - A senior Marine general who commanded forces in Iraq and Afghanistan has been admonished by the commandant of the Marine Corps for saying publicly, "It's fun to shoot some people."
Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis, an infantry officer who is a revered figure among marines for his fierce demeanor and warrior ethos, made the comments on Tuesday while speaking to a forum in San Diego about strategies for the war against terror.

According to an audio recording of General Mattis's remarks obtained by The Associated Press, he said: "Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you, I like brawling."
He added, "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil."
General Mattis continued: "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
On Thursday, Gen. Michael W. Hagee, commandant of the Marine Corps, issued a statement saying, "I have counseled him concerning his remarks, and he agrees he should have chosen his words more carefully." General Hagee added, "While I understand that some people may take issue with the comments made by him, I also know he intended to reflect the unfortunate and harsh realities of war."
General Mattis is now the commanding officer of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Va., which is responsible for developing Marine war-fighting doctrine, techniques and tactics. A spokeswoman for the general said he agreed that he should have chosen his words more carefully and that he considered the matter closed.
The general is no stranger to controversy. After marines under his command seized an airstrip in Afghanistan at the start of the war against the Taliban, he declared, "The Marines have landed, and we now own a piece of Afghanistan."
The remark grated on Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, who with other Pentagon officials considered the remark impolitic given the administration's stated goal that the United States was freeing Afghanistan from the tyranny of the Taliban, not seizing land in a Muslim nation.
As commander of the First Marine Division in the Iraq war, General Mattis ordered his force on a high-speed race from Kuwait to Baghdad, sowing confusion among Iraqi units along the way with the maneuver.
When one of his regimental commanders, Col. Joe D. Dowdy, was not aggressive enough for General Mattis, the general stripped the subordinate of his battlefield command, a highly unusual step in wartime.
At a Pentagon briefing on Thursday, Mr. Rumsfeld said he had not read General Mattis's remarks and declined to comment on them.
Gen. Peter Pace, a Marine officer who is vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at the same briefing that he would let General Mattis speak for himself.
"But I will tell you," General Pace said, "that the last three times that that general has been in combat, when he was leading marines in Afghanistan, and the two times that he led his division in Iraq, his actions, and those of his troops, clearly show that he understands the value of proper leadership and the value of human life." |

Tonight, for about 2 hours...i sat in front of my computer and painstakingly calculated 6 of my closest friends favorite records of the year. (I couldn't find yours JPA) Lame, yes. Is this fun for me, sadly...yes. (The accounting calculator sealed the deal) A point system was put into place between the 7 lists, with no record eligable if it wasn't at least on two or more lists.
Without further ado, the collective thoughts of Abhor.org (no personal meddling! promise)
20: The Thermals "Fuckin' A" (Sub Pop)
19: The Streets "A Grand don't Come for Free" (Vice)
18: Interpol "Antics" (Matador)
17: Franz Ferdinand "S/T" (Domino/Epic)
16: Liars "We were wrong..." (Mute)
15: The Secret Machines "Now here is Nowhere" (Warner Bros.)
14:Sufjan Stevens "Seven Swans" (Sounds Familyre)
13:Green Day "American Idiot" (Reprise)
12:Elliot Smith "From a basement on..." (Anti)
11:Animal Collective "Sung Tongs" (Fat Cat)
10:Joanna Newsom "The Milk Eyed Mender" (Drag City)
9:Black Eyes "Cough" (Dischord)
8:Devendra Banhart – "Rejoicing in the hands/Nino Rojo" (Young God)
7:Ted Leo and the Pharmacists "Shake the Sheets" (Lookout Records)
6:The Walkmen "Bows and Arrows" (Warner Bros)
5:Q and not U "Power" (Dischord)
4:Iron and Wine "Our Endless Numbered Days" (Sub Pop)
3: Wilco "A Ghost is Born" (Nonesuch)

tonight I ate 44 pieces of sushi but it wasn't enough as master-eater Dan Ozzi put down 46. I'll forever live in his eating shadow.
Also, now I understand why everyone makes such a big deal about those i-pod/i-tunes things. This is fun. Certainly more fun than real life. |
