NEWS FLASH! KLAUS NOMI STILL ALIVE!!!!!

80's New Wave icon Klaus Nomi has been found alive and working under the name of Joe Allbaugh!

"The AIDS thing was just a ruse so I could pursue what I REALLY wanted to do which is exploiting wars and disasters by securing contracts for a company with ties to global corporate fascism..." said a sheepish Nomi.

(Seriously-Allbaugh is just a scumbag operative for the Bush gang. Nomi is still dead and still not working...more about him later...)



Firms with Bush-Cheney Ties Clinching Katrina Deals


At least two major corporate clients of lobbyist Joe Allbaugh, President Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, have already been tapped to start recovery work along the battered Gulf Coast.

One is Shaw Group Inc. and the other is Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. Vice President Dick Cheney is a former head of Halliburton.

Frank R. Paul

Austrian born Frank R. Paul was the first and best true science-fiction illustrator.
Here is his official website, with many beautiful pictures of his covers:

Here is a short bio from the site:

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction has this to say about Frank R. Paul: "FRP is the best candidate for 'Father of Modern SF illustration', at least in the form it took in the pulp magazines. He received much of his education in Vienna, and studied also in Paris and New York. Trained as an architect, he was discovered by [editor] Hugo Gernsback in 1914 while working for a rural newspaper. Their names have been virtually inseparable ever since the days of Electrical Experimenter. ... For #1 of Amazing Stories in Apr 1926 FRP not only painted the cover illustration but did all the interior black-and-white artwork as well, and continued to do [all the covers and many of the interiors] until Gernsback lost control of the magazine in 1929. When Gernsback started publishing again later that year, FRP was once more his primary illustrator, on Science Wonder Stories,  Air Wonder Stories and then Wonder Stories; indeed, his association with Gernsback lasted until the short-lived Science Fiction Plus in 1953 [and beyond, if you consider Gernsback's Forecast magazines - FW]; he painted more than 150 covers for Gernsback in all [closer to 190 if you count Science & Mechanics and Forecast - FW]. He worked elsewhere, too, with a further 28 front covers for various non-Gernsback SF magazines, including all 12 for Charles D. Hornig's Science Fiction, and also a series of full colour back-cover paintings for the Ziff-Davis Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures (1939-1946).  He also did all the illustration [correction, all the covers and some comix - FW] for Superworld Comics, a Gernsback experiment of 1939.

Be Afraid

I don't know what's going on here, but I'm very frightened.

Macabre Reminder: The Corpse on Union Street


By DAN BARRY
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7 - In the downtown business district here, on a dry stretch of Union Street, past the Omni Bank automated teller machine, across from a parking garage offering "early bird" rates: a corpse. Its feet jut from a damp blue tarp. Its knees rise in rigor mortis.

Six National Guardsmen walked up to it on Tuesday afternoon and two blessed themselves with the sign of the cross. One soldier took a parting snapshot like some visiting conventioneer, and they walked away. New Orleans, September 2005.

Hours passed, the dusk of curfew crept, the body remained. A Louisiana state trooper around the corner knew all about it: murder victim, bludgeoned, one of several in that area. The police marked it with traffic cones maybe four days ago, he said, and then he joked that if you wanted to kill someone here, this was a good time.

Night came, then this morning, then noon, and another sun beat down on a dead son of the Crescent City.

That a corpse lies on Union Street may not shock; in the wake of last week's hurricane, there are surely hundreds, probably thousands. What is remarkable is that on a downtown street in a major American city, a corpse can decompose for days, like carrion, and that is acceptable.

Welcome to New Orleans in the post-apocalypse, half baked and half deluged: pestilent, eerie, unnaturally quiet.
