At its best New Wave/punk represents a fundamental and age-old Utopian dream: that if you give people the license to be as outrageous as they want in absolutely any fashion they can dream up, they'll be creative about it, and do something good besides.

The match-making Congressman
2001-01-11 16:44:15
A state representative is also running the web site SheWantsItBad.Net. It's Tom Alciere, the New Hampshire legislator who said killing cops was OK if they'd crossed a line.
In September Alciere registered the domain SheWantsIt.net to link to the sites of women he thinks are looking for sex. He also added SheWantsItBAD.net for women who seem to want it even more. This empire of domains even includes two sites for men -- HeWantsIt.Net and HeWantsItBAD.net.
Politics and match-making soon merged. On the site NH-Democrats.com, the state representative pointed local high school students to a special version of the SheWantsIt.net page for Nashua high school students.
Alciere's opponents call him a hate-mongering lunatic, but it looks like he really just wants to spread a little love. "Picture a lady who is having no luck finding a date," begins one of the site's pages. It details a long scenario in which a needing-it-bad woman ends up suicidal on New Year's Eve. "She starts to ponder, if she were to get into her motorcar and speed 150 kilometers per hour into a bridge abutment, who would care? Everybody is too busy celebrating to give a damn. And she realizes that nobody would care, except for a small handful of municipal employees, and the only reason even they would care is because they would have to clean up the mess!" Mindful of the needs of both women and municipal employees, Alciere steps up to the plate.
He's the man with a plan. Or at least he was. He just resigned today, according to the site tom.alciere.usuck.com.

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert.

About 14 years ago when I was on a road trip and stopped in Seattle, I was invited to a party. At this party there were these little tiny glasses sitting in a flat-bottomed bowl of ice. Thin cylinders about an inch in diameter and 4 inches tall, with thick glass at the bottom. Into these were poured frozen AKVAVIT... also known as the water of life. (More...)
