"Angelina Jolie Coming For Your Baby
"August 17, 2005 | Issue 41•33
"MALIBU, CA—Angelina Jolie has filed for adoption of your newborn baby, sources close to the actress reported Tuesday. "Angelina loves your baby, and you should be honored that she has chosen it," said publicist Jacqueline Silver, citing the growing collection of babies Jolie has culled from families worldwide. "Color, creed, whether your child is wanted—none of it matters. Angelina has fallen in love, and through legal means or force, your baby will soon be hers." Immediately after acquiring your child, Jolie will dress it in Betsey Johnson infant wear, give it a faux-hawk, name it after a random passage from the The Tibetan Book Of The Dead, then resume her relentless search for babies."
(Brian, I'm curious if you have an opinion on her. All I know is that I find her meltingly sexy and it makes me unable to tell how good and what sort of actress she is--not a problem for you, I think.)

Not that it compares with the horror! the horror! of standing downwind of Jesse Helms, but was it Paul Krassner or Ed Sanders who told the story of some of their crowd getting onto the subject of what they would personally do to end the Vietnam War. "I'd cut off my little finger." "Well, I'd cut off my whole hand." And so on, till someone, Allen Ginsberg, I think said, "I'd suck off a leper." More to the point would be the words of (I think--Carrol will know if I'm wrong) Henry Vaughn's poem about some obscure religious conflict involving (I think) funny hats, which ended "Durst ye not be a fool for him?" (I think--it's been years since I've read Vaughn. I must unpack our books.)
