Perhaps I should take some inspiration from Billy Jack in order to figure out a way to get my DUmmie FUnnies book published by a major publisher. One idea may be to go up on a mountain, and get bitten by a snake over and over again in a Hopi ceremony so that the Indian Holy Man, Wokova, can speak through me and give me some advice while I am still in the rapture of the vision. This is not as far-fetched as it might seem. After the original Billy Jack movie was released it flopped in the market because the studio didn't market it properly. Billy Jack wouldn't accept this and he spent his own money on TV and radio commericials for Billy Jack. Marketing movies in such a way was never done before and it WORKED. In its second incarnation, after the radio and TV marketing, the Billy Jack movie became a BIG HIT. Since then, movie studios have used extensive marketing on the tube to plug their movies, but Billy Jack was the first one to do so. This is ironic in view of the fact that Billy Jack rails against big business in his flicks. Well, perhaps there is a "Billy Jack" solution to finding the way to get the DUmmie FUnnies book (with CD-ROM insert for the related comix stories) into print in wide circulation. So maybe the Billy Jack snake ceremony is not totally out of the question. However, I think it will be a bit difficult to find a mountain down here in Florida.

Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.

PING!

Well this is just plain sad.

Where did my hippies go? Those wild and crazy people who touted free love, rode buses, made music and movies, those people who still today make us pause when we think of the era.

The only pause I take thinking of the 60's is to puke. The only thing I liked about it was the GREAT soul music from Motown, Stax, Atlantic.

Billy Jack's still alive; he's all grown up now and goes by the name of Ward Churchill.

Billy Jack in Hiding?

I liked "The Born Losers" better than "Billy Jack". It was a biker movie and it was SO much fun to sit in the dorm watching it and making fun of the acting and dialogue, much like making fun of the DUmmies.

A great Indian holy man, Wovoka, is speaking through him.

My ass ...he was a peyote-'smokin Paiute version of Al Sharpton. Started the 'Ghost Dance' where the Indians danced, sang and avoided working.

Indirectly, he was responsible for the death of Sitting Bull.

Trivia question : What was the name of the group that did the song, "One Tin Soldier" ?

[CAluvdubya]

Where did my hippies go?

They grew up, got jobs, realized they worked half the year to pay taxes, and became Republicans!

if it isn't presented by the CON (corporate owned media)

Uh.....shouldn't that be coM??? Clearly this aging hippie has forgotten his/her alphabet. Can numbers be far behind?

I don't see how they get out of bed in the morning. These pathetic folks live in a world not their own. God help them if they ever do reach Utopia. They will be so miserable if they cannot see something that needs changing. Can you imagine the heartbreaking scene of a deluded liberal with nothing to bitch about? A mind is a terrible thing to waste, and I am saddened by the reality that God wasted so many of them on Liberals.

Thanks for the post. If I were added to the ping list, I'd be barfing a lot, so I'll just peruse when I'm up for it.

As for Billy Jack...my friends and I in middle school must have seen it ten times at the theater. Today, we're all conservatives, professionals and GWB supporters. How come some drank the Kool-Aid and some didn't?

I credit Ronald Reagan for straightening out my generation (I'm 44). Thank God we were too young to be hippys and saw real leadership during our college years. I feel sorry for the misguided generation who still pines for these ridiculous days.

but there was always a place one could sleep at at the end of the day and a place where free food was distributed.

The DUmmie vision of Heaven! :)

[whereasandsoforth]

Reagan created the permanent homeless class? I guess they have never heard the words "hobo" or "bum". I believe these words predated the Reagan administration (I could be wrong).

It's funny they still talk about "fighting the power". Their generation is still in charge for now.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I still maintain that reality is a social construct

Good. Great. Visualize yourself with a real car and a real job, then.

Thank God! It needs to be destroyed.
