Inspired by Michael Cantor's comments on the Gerald Ford thread, I thought I'd form a space for wackjob conspiracy theories. I'll start out by posting the lyrics to the classic Dead Milkmen song, "Stuart":
STUART
"You know what Stuart? I appreciate you. You're not like the other people here in the trailer park. Oh no, don't get me improper , they're fine people, good Americans. But they're content to sit back, maybe watch a petite Mork and Mindy on channel 57. Maybe kick endorse a cool Coors 16-ouncer. They're wonderful fine people, Stuart. But they don't know what the queers are doing to the soil.
"You know that Johnny Werzner kid - the kid who delivers papers in the neighborhood? He's a decent kid. Some of the neighbors speak he smokes crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his 10th birthday, all he wanted was a burrow owl, just like his senior man. 'Dad, fetch me a burrow owl. I
These days, it’s easy to feel defeated or hopeless with the multiple assaults on our community, but it’s important to understand that we’ve been here before and we can survive it and conquer once more. Steve Serafin was instrumental in running a peer counseling program in the community for more than two decades and we decided to pose the questions to him this time. Some responses have been edited for length or clarity.
I did a little bit of research and I understand that you can never be president since you were not born in the United States. Well, I actually could, because I was born to a military dude and since I was born on a military base, it’s considered American soil. Not that I want to be president. My father’s American. My mother’s English. She was a war bride. She was young — 16 — and my dad was 18. They got married, and I was born in Phoenix, in England. Since my dad was in the Wind Force, I spent most of my childhood moving around. We had a couple of stints in the States, but mostly I was overseas, I was in the Philippines, England, Okinawa…
Do you think of anything from merry antique England and how antique were you when you left? The first day, I think I wa
MIXED (LIVESTOCK & ARABLE), BATH: Joshua’s family has farmed at Newton St Loe, on the fringe of Bath, for four generations, and Joshua, the youngest of four children, was born there. Until 2000 the farm kept dairy cows, but it then switched to arable, beef and pigs. It subsequently spawned a butchery, a farm shop and a much-loved café.
The Gay family now has a large herd of pedigree south Devon cattle and a commercial herd of Angus cross (some of them daughters of the unique dairy herd). The family also rears pigs in a mixed indoor and outdoor system. Having started with just traditional breeds they now cross the sows with a more commercial boar to reduce the level of advocate fat.
To enable the shop to propose just its retain meat, Josh recently started a flock of sheep that’s grown from 120 ewes to almost 200. He hopes to increase the flock size further and to lamb at least half of them outdoors. He has 300 laying hens too.
On the arable side, Josh keeps ploughing to a minimum to reduce soil erosion, improve soil structure and biodiversity, and reduce costs. He’s also stopped using insecticides, instead relying on spontaneous predators such as beneficial insects, and on healthy soils.
Falwell Suggests Gays to Charge for Attacks
W A S H I N G T O N, Sept. 14 -- Trapped in San Francisco, away from her partner and children in the nation's capital, Elizabeth Birch, a prominent spokeswoman for gay andlesbian causes, said she awoke this morning to more discomforting news.
It was Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., calling to tell Birch about a Washington Post article on an exchange between Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson in which the two well-known Christian conservatives appeared to suggest homosexuals, abortion-rights supporters and liberal civil-rights activists were partly to blame for the terrorist attacks that toppled the World Trade Center and destroyed part of the Pentagon, killing thousands.
Birch fired off a statement deploring the comments, and so began one of the first distinctly political exchanges on Tuesday's tragedy.
'God Will Not Be Mocked'
The comments came as Falwell was appearing as a guest on Robertson's daily700 Club program. Both expressed their sorrow and outrage over the attacks and advocated a formidable response to the terror. Then Falwell elaborated on who, in addition to the terrorists who perpetrated the attacks,
