I'm not sure which is more satanic, the birthplace of Diablo (New Jersey), or his erstwhile father, Ray Cohn.

This storyline did remind me of Tony Kushner's Angel's in America, in which Cohn is a character. Any other fans here?

new jersey is more satanic, and I quote the book of futurama;
"who would have thought that hell would really exist, and that it would be in New Jersey?"

I saw Angels on HBO a few weeks back; it was excellent. It clicked pretty well with what I was planning to do, so yes it was an inspiration.

Besides, Roy Cohn has always been a problem for the Rosenbergs, right?

Are you now-- or have you ever been-- a member of the Hoverdachshund Party? or any party?

Stick it to 'em, Mr Rosenberg. You are more heroic to me every day. If you were in the Super Friends, you'd be the artist with the ultimate powers of quasi-satanic-surreal social parody. Was there some freak accident involving a particle accelerator, a dolphin in a tennis ball factory, and a liquid lunch? Is your donkey-sense™ tingling?

Okay, so I haven't seen Angels, and I know nothing about this Cohn fellow. So I did a few google hits on 'im.

A lot of the google hits were very interesting. Such as: guess who he actually locked horns with? Our favorite wacko politician -- no, not Bush -- LaRouche [walrus.com]. It's a pretty freaky article.

Hahahaha, that deserves some sort of point reward right there.

My history lessons were spotty, but i believe Roy Cohn was Senator McCarthy's right-hand-man during the early 50's "Un-American Activities" witch-hunts. He was a closeted homophobic homosexual who made a living ruining other people's lives, on the taxpayers' dollar. He died of AIDS some years ago, but refused to acknowledge his hypocrisy and hatefulness right up to the bitter end.

Go ahead and correct me if i'm wrong about any of this. I'm just repeating some second- and third-hand tales.
