A short update today. Do you remember The ex-NY GIANT ALL PRO DEFRENSIVE ALL PRO Lawrence Taylor being arrested a week or 2 ago for purchasing CRACK COCAINE from an undercover cop? And do you remember his Profanity filled "NEWS CONFERENCE", after the ARREST?
Well guess who just checked himself into a DRUG REHAB FACILITY???
I want to point this out, you see if Taylor wasn't caught "redhanded" by an undercover agent, he could pass any drug test in less than 2 days. Cocaine, Meth, speed, downers, etc Most of the "hard" drugs pass thru the body so quickly, leaving virtually no trace that within a day or 2 they, the user can pass a drug test.
Now these are the drugs that the American People want a "war" over. Now consider the pot smoker, a low level user 1 "joint/month" He/she will test positive on a drug test for a week after smoking 1 joint, 25% of the time in a random drug screening policy you have a 1 in 4 chance of losing your job. Consider the regular user 1 "joint/week" on the weekends when not working. Will test positive ALL THE TIME!!! This from a drug that the UN(United Nations) WHO (World Health Organization) has determined in a 10 yr study, that the USA has squashed reporting of. That pot is LESS harmful than alcohol and tobacco combined....
Companies that practice random drug testing of their employees, and I work for one of them. Are only catching the hard drug addicts, not the hard drug weekend users. But they are also ensnarling the occasional or weekend pot smoker, who is the least risk of hard drug users, alcohol users, and cigarrette smokers. EX lets say I smoke a joint on Fri night, a co-worker gets messed up on CRACK COCAINE, or METH. Monday Morning we both get chosen for drug testing. I who smoked a joint FAIL THE DRUG TEST, the Co-worker on CRACK or METH will PASS!!!

To see what book I got from KFYI, The John Dayl Show, HERE
OK, Now for some stories that was in the paper. This from Salem Ore. An 8 yr old boy has been suspended from school for singing a violent parody of a Barney and Friends song. See Story HERE
Don't you think this "ZERO TOLERANCE" thing has gone a bit TOO FAR???!!! Also in the recent news is a kid who's mom packed in his lunch a deadly weapon!!!! A BUTTERKNIFE!!!! She claims she did it because her son just got braces, and wanted him to be able to cut his sandwich into smaller portions that he would more easily be able to eat. According to the school, WE HAVE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON LEATHAL WEAPONS!!! Mom and son waiting for final decision whether he has only a SUSPENSION, OR if he is EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL!!!!! Now remember PEANUT BUTTER is now BANNED in some schools. Soon kids picking on other kids will be BANNED ALSO!!!
QUESTION: If we adults can't keep up on the Political Correctness laws and policies, how can we expect OUR CHILDREN to???!!!!

Smoker Dave makes another appearence on local talk radio, KFYI on the John Dayl show this evening. And wins a book, High Crimes and Misdemeaners.
So what did you all do this weekend? My guesss is you had to spend some time resetting your clocks on the TV, VCR, Microwave, Wall Clocks, Watches, etc. Don't you think this is a Big Waste of Time in todays 24 hr society? Do you realize that people working 9am to 5pm Mon-Fri jobs are now no longer the Majority?
I'll tell you one thing, I am glad I live in ARIZONA where we don't play this "CLOCK" Game!!! Spring back, Fall forward, or whatever, is a WASTE OF TIME. Or is it Spring Ahead, Fall Back? We in AZ don't care, we leave the clocks alone.
10/23/98 Part II ART WILL RETURN!!!
Art made a statement at the beginning of Friday night's show on 10/23/98. The issue is not resolved yet, but it has improved. Art stated that it is a family crisis, PERIOD.
Then he announced that he will return on Wed. Oct. 28th. Which means there will be a "Ghost to Ghost" Show on 10/30/98.
10/23/98
Art Bell to make another announcement FRIDAY night 10/23/98 in the 1st hr of the show.
Could it be related to THIS???
The Middle East Peace Initiative, between Isreal and the Palestinians, 9 days + Of negotiations. Clinton wanting a Foreign Affairs Victory to help offset his domestic trouble. After the DEAL was done, Isreal throws a WRENCH into the works. Demanding that Jonathan Pollard, a convicted SPY be released!!!! HE was a SPY for ISREAL, our so called FRIEND in the Mid East, who we send BILLIONS OF $$$$$ A YEAR!!!! I consider this biting the hand that feeds you. The gall for Isreal to even REQUEST this is appalling.
BUT I know why they tried.....
The Isrealis' know Clinton is desperate for a political victory he can sell to the AMERICAN VOTERS before the 11/3/98 Election, to save the Democratic Party from sweeping losses, thus decreasing his chances of IMPEACHMENT.
The Gov't of Isreal read this badly. Even Clinton is not stupid enough to agree to BLACKMAIL from a Gov't that only exists because of OUR, the American populace, generosity to Isreal. Clinton knows he CANNOT say this TRAITOR is being released in the interest of PEACE in the Middle East. The Isrealis thought that we, the AMERICAN PEOPLE are dumber than what even Clinton thinks we are. Clinton knows that despite his high approval in his own domestic crisis, even at this point knows he may very well be Impeached by OUR representatives in the Congress who are better informed than the public at large. His hold on PUBLIC OPINION is tenuous, and he needs that PUBLIC OPINION to try to fend off IMPEACHMENT. "WAFFLING" to a Gov't that only exists because of OUR SUPPORT, would surely DOOM Clinton's chances of finishing out his elected term.
10/22/98 Part II
Art Bell to make another announcement FRIDAY night 10/23/98 in the 1st hr of the show.

I assume you have seen the "PORK LADEN" Budget that gives $$$ for grasshopper research in Alaska, Manure disposal in LA, $$$ for research on the uses of WOOD, $$$ for remoldling Susan B. Anthony's home, (CAN't THEY USE THE SUSAN B. ANTHONY DOLLAR COINS TAKEN OUT OF CIRCULATION FOR THIS!!!???), Millions for Foundations set up by former senators and house members, a study for low branch level BLUEBERRIES!!!, etc. etc. MAKES ME SICK!!! This is how BIG GOV'T spends OUR $$$$.
And now some DAMN agency has declared that OUR CHILDREN are drinking TOO much Soda/Pop/Soft Drinks, On the menue for this is to Ban coin operated vending machines in schools, AND ADD A TAX TO MAKE IT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR CHILDREN!!! This looks a lot like the tactics the gov't started with against smokers. ANd do you KNOW that there are some schools that have stopped serving, and stopped allowing OUR CHILDREN to bring, consume PEANUT BUTTER in any form? Because 1/2 dozen people in the world are allergic to it. Airlines now have to provide a 3 row PEANUT FREE ZONE on flights when someone requests it.
Wait 'till AA wises up, a recovering alcoholic on a flight would be able to reguest a seat in a "NON-ALCOHOL SECTION" on the plane, I guess they would get 3 rows also.
The vegetarians, can request a "NO MEAT SECTION" for airline served lunches, 3 ROWS!!!
The Vegans, can request a "NO MEAT AND NO DAIRY PRODUCT SECTION" on thier flights, 3 ROWS!!!
On and on, No CHILDREN SECTIONS, NO SODA/POP/SOFT DRINK SECTIONS, OH!!!! The LACTOSE INTOLERANT!!!, NO MILK SECTIONS, etc. etc.I could go on.
SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE OFFENDED WENT AFTER SMOKERS? See the writing on the wall yet???
I am now going to use a term tha Slick Willy used on Monica, "BLOW ME!!!" ALL YOU DAMN CRYBABIES.
TWO moons of Jupiter show more evidence of a liquid ocean, remember everywher we have looked, where there is water, there is LIFE. Now think about this, if there is liquid water under the ice crusts of these 1 moons of Jupiter, then they have had a ceiling of ice for over a BILLION YEARS. NO STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY, Perpeptual darkness. I wonder what could be underneath 2, 5 miles of ice with a BILLION YEARS of Evolution. See story HERE!!! I don't have this story saved, link to it is most likely short term. I printed it out and if you missed it I can Scan it and send back via EMAIL on Request.
10/21/98
I assume by now you have all seen the stories of the Military given a "GAG" Order on ANY negative comments on Slick Willy. This with the THREAT of Court-Martial. Do you think this was from someone in the Pentagon? Where the Military is having a crisis in morale because of Slick Willy? OR do you think this order came from the White House, Slick Willy himself, or Hillary, who has been since January been in charge of "Damage Control"?
To see the story from Infobeat click HERE!!!
Next!!!
Here in AZ Michael Poland was scheduled to be executed 3 pm local time. After his last meal etc. he was granted a "STAY". By a Federal Appeals Court in Hawaii. See STORY from The AZ REPUBLIC HERE!!!
Read the story so you know what he and his brother did 22 YEARS AGO!!! As recently as a month ago he was mentally competant. NOW because of impending DEATH SENTENCE being carried out. He became overly "stressed". And now is considered by his attourneys psychiatrist to be "DELUSIONAL". SO he is now unfit for execution for a brutal crime he committed 22 YEARS AGO!!!
NOW if you read the news article provided above, you see he will not be executed for at least a YEAR!!!!
I thought Mental competancy was relevant only when committing the crime. NOT in the Fulfillment of the sentence.
If LIBERAL JUDGES want to execute this kind of control, then as long as someone in prison who is INCOMPETANT MENTALLY, that time served DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE COURT'S SENTENCE!!!
YOU CAN'T DAMMIT, HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!!! The damn DREGS of SOCIETY are treated with kid gloves. Commit a Crime, get extra rights!!!! This REALLY BLOWS, and I am getting DAMN SICK OF IT!!!!

Transcript of Art Bell's Statement on Monday night.
UPDATE 10/19/98 - Art gives us an update on the situation which was played from tape on Monday nights program, which was hosted by Hilly Rose. He says:
"Greetings to you from the Kingdom of Nye. Tuesday morning October 13th without prior notice to anybody without being advised or pressured by anyone, I resigned my position as host of this program. I did it for the reasons I gave then, because of a terrible life-threatening event which occured to my family about a year ago, as well as events subsequent to it. Although there is, (and I want to be sure you understand this), no immediate danger to my family. What did occur then, absolutely requires my full-time attention now. And to not give it right now, would surely be negligent and neglectful of those I love. Also to disclose details of what did occur, would have a rather immediate negative affect on my family and I will not do that.
Several news organizations, broadcast and print media, have uncovered what went on. So far, perhaps because of legal ramifications or one might hope ethical behavior on their part, they've chosen not to proceed with the story. For this I'm very thankful. Of course as soon as I can, if the story breaks, and I will not be the one to break it, I will discuss it with you, I'll tell you all about it.
You know developing this program, over the past 14 years, has been one of the great joys of my life. And you should know I miss it terribly. I'd like to sincerely thank everybody who has sent their heartfelt support to me. And there are many of you.
Since my resignation, my network has been doing their very best to help resolve the situation, frankly I on the night I resigned, I thought it could not be resolved. Now, I hope it can. Allowing me to return to what I love doing so much! But I need more time. While I can't discuss what in fact did occur, I can say this -- It certainly was not a publicity stunt or contract ploy as rumored by my competitors and detractors. It is real and serious. This should become self-evident to you when you know, and you will know.
I believe personally in the power of prayer, if you do, for now, that's how you can help. Goodnight."
You can hear the SOUNDCLIP in REAL AUDIO HERE!!!
10/19/98 PART II
Art Bell's Statement
Art stated that there is no immediate danger, but that this issue reguires his full time attention NOW. He also said that some news organizations have discovered what the issue is, but have not reported it. Last week when he resigned unexpectedly, he didn't think there would be a way to resolve the issue and satisfy his network. But that now, the network still wants him back, and Art said that it may be possible for his return.
10/19/98
Remember Art Bell to make a Statement at the beginning of the show tonight!!!
INDIGNATION, what upsets some people today.
You celebrate it, you offend someone!!! But guess what? THE CONSTITUTION does NOT protect you or anyone from being offended by someone else.
NOW THIS IS FUNNY
I FREAKED OUT an old lady at my APT complex here this morning.
My very 1st web site of the week, that allows you to enter your state and city for viewing Iridium Flares. HERE Well I had a good one this morning at 5:32.54 am. So I went out to see it. Some old lady came out and put her trash in the dumpster where I was near for a clear view of the South sky. She asked what I was looking at. I told her I was a TIME TRAVELER waiting for a signal if I was going to be picked up from my TIME'S spaceship.
She was disbelieving but stayed to see it. Then I turned my "pager" off and on, and made it beep. I said that it was "THEM" paging me, and that I would have to stay awhile longer here. She said "Oh sure" in a dry disbelieving tone.
Well I knew exactly where the Iridium flare would be and when, I told her that the sign would be a sudden bright star that would last a few seconds, that would be the signal from the ship. I added it would be a UFO to you. The FLARE started right where I thought it would and I said, "There It IS!!!", It was a good bright one too. And lasted about 6 to 8 seconds.
The old lady said, "OH MY GOD!!" and this old lady ran back to her APT in record speed for her age. It was SO FUNNY I DAMN near wet myself laughing.
10/18/98
Latest on Art Bell: There are some more news articles and speculation, but mostly a regurgitation of what I have already posted here earlier. The only change is that I am even more convinced that Art WILL be back. here is one thing I think you will be all interested in though. From KFYI Real Audio of Richard Hoagland's interview on Fri 10/16 And the Sheriff of Nye County HERE!!! Scroll down a little and look on the right side.
We will find out for sure Mon night 10/19/98 when Art makes a statement in the 1st hr of the Show.
OK, now getting back to things. This commentary is a bit late, delayed of coarse by my investigation of Art Bell. Well here it is.
Is there such a thing as a HATE CRIME?
Matthew Shepard was tortured and beaten to death. A terrible thing to be sure, being murdered. But now there were candle-lite vigils, a statement by Clinton,etc. Why? because he was gay. Would there have been candle-lite vigils etc. if he were not gay and the same thing happened? Somehow I don't think so.
Is the crime any LESS horrible if it had happened to a straight person? A working class person? A star, or athlete? A bum? A drug addict?.....Get the point?
You see it's not that the victim is different that matters. It's what makes them the same. Murder is the point. All and any murders. It doesn't matter if the murderer hates gays, your color, etc. The crime is the same. So you see, it's not important to define a HATE CRIME. But to hate CRIME.
10/17/98
Well I am seeing encouraging news on Art Bell from a # of sources, a couple of which follow.
This from Art's Network, news by Sightings HERE
This from Richard Hoagland, from his web site HERE
This from KFYI 910 AM in Phoenix Richard Hoagland 1st appearence transcript on 10/15/98 and it's complete. HERE
If the news continues to be good, I will resume my regular commentary on news and politics. Possibly later today. Been a hell of a week though hasn't it?
To all who have come here this week for info on Art Bell, I hope you have looked at some of the other features of my web site, and have looked at what I generally do here in "Thoughts From A Smoke Filled Room". Agree with me or not, I hope you come back and visit from time to time. And remember you can email me, use the "BUTTON" above. To convey your opinions on my commentary, agree or not. And it would be nice if you signed my GUESTBOOK Leave only the info you want to appear. Smoker Dave.
10/16/98
First here is a transcript of Keith Rowland, the WebMaster of the Art Bell Web Site on 10/14/98 in a chatroom answering questions about Art Bell. HERE
NOW for a transcript, the best I can do anyways of Richard Hoagland's 2nd appearence in 2 days on KFYI 910 AM in Phx AZ (see 10/15/98 below). If you don't follow what's going on. Frogina's Pond did a good job of getting the info of the latest from Richard Hoagland. Click HERE FOR R. HOAGLAND'S LATEST NEWS!!!
Hey Frogina, I see you took advantage of my KFYI link, hope you don't mind me using your work on the latest update from R. Hoagland.
10/15/98
Still have been researching the sudden departure of Art Bell for hours on end after work. Most of what I found besides Art's Web Site run by Keith Rowland, who also lives in Mesa, Az. like myself, and who I've met this past June. Is all speculation and Joe Blow dreaming up every possible, or impossible conspiracy theory. But what was on earlier on KFYI 910 AM in Phoenix, AZ. is more credible.
Richard Hoagland, Walter Cronkite's science advisor during the Apollo Missions, former NASA Consultant, Face on Mars, frequent guest on The Art Bell Show, was on briefly this morning on KFYI in PHX. And will be back on sometime tommorrow between 5 am and 9 am on 10/16/98 on KFYI. Link above allows you to listen LIVE through Audio Net. (REAL AUDIO).
Paraphrasing Richard Hoagland. Art is under surveillance. This is related to "The Phoenix Lights" of March 13th 1997. Also related to the Oft reported Green Fireballs in Sept 98 throughout the country. That is reported on Peter Davenport's web sight for UFO SIGHTINGS. Richard Hoagland also said that there was some sort of demand that Art be taken off the AIR because of the nature of his Show, and unscreened callers, by some Gov't Agency. According to sources that Hoagland has. NASA is involved, and something is SUPPOSED to occur over the Phoenix Area on December 7th 1998. Relating the Green Fireballs, The "Phoenix Lights" of March 13th 1997, And Art's "Resignation".
Now you ask why do I think this is credible info? In the past 16 months I've attended 3 seminars by Richard Hoagland, and have listened to him for many hours as a Guest on The Art Bell Show, and they are FRIENDS!!! I know some of you refer to Hoagland as Hoaxland etc. but I do not. Nor do I believe everything Hoagland presents in his seminars, just like I don't believe all of Art's unscreened callers.
This is what I have found potentially credible in the 12+ hrs of digging on the web and listening to the RADIO. Now for a little more credibility is a scan of an email from my MOM last month. She was an unbeliever in UFO's untill about 2 yrs ago, when she saw one that scared the hell out of her. This is the email I got from her. She lives a few miles from me, about 5, and Mesa is suburbia of Phoenix, AZ. HERE Compare the dates from my MOM's Sighting to the UFO CENTER, Peter Davenport's Web Site
10/14/98
I know I am neglecting my take on the on-going political events of the past couple of days, but I have been consumed in the search on the 'net for info about Art Bell's sudden departure from the airwaves. Yes they are playing The Best Of The Art Bell Show right now, like he was on vacation. However it is different this time, because during past replays I knew he was coming back. Now it's like working Super Bowl Sunday and taping the game. Even if you got home without knowing who won, or the final score. You still felt cheated deep down, an Empty feeling. Like your home team losing in the Finals of the Championship Game, even though it was a Game for the AGES. It is a distasteful taste, something to spit out, but even once spat, like morning breath, or in my case night breath.this is still weighing heavily in your mind.
Right now this is where I'm at, I wish it was not, but that is not the case. I need my night time friend on the air. And for now I will continue to search for why he is not.
There you have it. Smoker Dave
10/13/98
Today I am TOTALLY DUMBFOUNDED, DISMAYED, CONFUSED, feel like an old friend has died unexpectedly. Here is why, my constant companion on 3rd shift all these years working 3rd shift, suddenly has ceased his show, as sudden as a HEART ATTACK. ART BELL OFF THE AIR!!!
For the soundclips etc. that will work as long as the Art Bell Web Site is up. HERE
I feel like I'm in the middle of a real life X-Files show. I've had stability in my life for awhile now, 3rd shift job, working car, AZ Cardinals under .500, And Art Bell. All this has changed since Sat. except 3rd shift job that I've had for over 12 yrs. Smoker Dave now living in times of insecurity, maybe I'll start sucking my thumb at work. That would be a SIGHT TO BE SEEN!!!
Now to be serious, I hope that whatever troubles are inundating ART BELL right now get solved in the best possible way, and he is able to resume his Show that he has always loved so much doing, that I and many others have enjoyed listening to for many years. Come back soon ART!!!! We miss you already!!!!
10/12/98
Well the car is being worked on at the Dealer, should have it back tommorrow. The Cardinals beat the Bears yesterday. A good thing in my opinion, I enjoyed being at the game and I thank Dave McD. for the ride home.
It appears that an attack by NATO on Kosovo is imminent. I ask why are WE involved? WE have no National or Security Interest there. Why are we risking OUR dwindling Armed Forces, sons and daughters in this mess? And plans are already laid for US Groundtroops. This is NUTS!!! Is this being done so we have an uninterrupted supply of YUGO'S ?????
This is purely a European problem, I say let THEM the European Nations take care of it. It looks to me like a "Wag The Dog" strategy by Slick Willy. Remember in the Sunday papers, Slick said that WE need a budget "worthy of our CHILDREN!!!", in comments of the current budget battles. I am getting Very Sick of all this BS. Hell, I would run for an office, except I have a quality that you can NOT have if you run for office. That quality is HONESTY!!! Another drawback is that I speak my mind, mostly politically incorrect as well. Also I don't think anyone has ever said that I was "tactfull" in any discussion or debate. So you see, I am UNelectable. The best I can do is to continue venting my opinions on this web pg, that is mine solely, that nobody can stiffle. 1 visitor a week or a 100 visitors a week, I will be here.
10/11/98
My gripe for the day: What REALLY sucks owning only 1 car is, if it breaks down, you're out of luck. So I bet you can guess what my current problem is. At least I've worked out a way to get to today's Cardinal football game and back. What happened to my car was sort of like what happened earlier at Sun Devil Stadium during the ASU/Notre Dame football game, total loss of power. By the way it's the same stadium where the Cardinals play. In the KFC Drive-thru, all my idiot warning lights came on for a few seconds, then the engine died, and that was it. I would suspect the battery, but it's only 6 months old.
Oh well, it's at the dealer now, and since it's there I'll have the brakes checked, hoses and belts changed, tune-up, etc done. But this screws up my pre game tailgate brew and food. Will have to shell out more $ for that, at the stadium. If they can keep the power on today that is.
