Can't you just see Cliff "doing his thing" at Cheek's?
Sort of reminds me of the old days of burlesque.
They always had a house comic too. Never very good at it, but it was a break
in between the strippers.
(And yes, before you ask, I did occasionally go to a "burleque" show in my
wild, misspent youth.)

It seems that the New York State Zoo was given a gift of two
porpoises from New Zealand. The name for this particular species
of porpoise (when translated from the native language) means
"immortal."
Well...after a few weeks, the porpoises grew lethargic and listless.
The folks at the NY zoo called a marine biologist in New Zealand
who explained that the porpoises needed an occasional dietary
supplement of the meat of young seagulls. So, the folks in New
Zealand sent a crate of the birds to the NY zoo. As the zookeeper
carried the crate to the porpoise tank he had to cross a bridge
going over the lion's den and was promptly arrested.
Do you know what for??? (of course you do!)
He was arrested for...
TRANSPORTING YOUNG GULLS

Here we go again. I had to send a package to England a couple weeks ago.
I took it it my local PO to send it. The clerk there was, ah, less than
helpful. He acted as if the scale was something he had never seen before.
He asked me to explain what "magnetic media" was (I was sending some disks).
He thought that writing that on the package (it was part of the
handling instructions) was enough, and I didn't need a green export sticker
(wrong). I tried to be as polite as possible, and made suggestions rather
than saying "Hey, jerkface! That's wrong!" Even so, he got a bit surly at
me.
I could understand that better if he knew what he was doing and I was
badgering him, but if he's wrong, a "I'm sorry" would be nice.
I hope he got the postage right. Even after all this, I think he was
supposed to stamp it "SMALL PACKET" but I was tired of arguing with him, and
that's a minor matter.

Jack and Irv were talking one afternoon and the subject of sex
came up. Irv said, "I'm 75 years old and still active."
Jack bemoaned, "I'm only 73 and I'm not active, how can you still
do it?"
Irv replied, "I owe it all to rye bread."
So that afternoon Jack went over to the bakery and asked the
woman at the counter for 5 loaves of rye bread.
She said,"Why do you need so many. In two days it's going to get
hard."
Jack muttered, "So how come everybody knew that but me?"

Taranto! 2. Is he intelligent? 3. Sophisticated? 4. Excellent speaker? 5. Is
he married to a beautiful woman that would quit her career to be 'his wife'

of the above is true - I might seriously consider voting for him.

When a sex scandal and financial irregularities forced
evangelist Jim Bakker to resign, he had to abandon plans for
his most ambitious project, a billion-dollar amusement park
at the Heritage USA complex in South Carolina. Still in the
blueprint stage when Bakker relinquished his empire were
carnival rides such as "Daniel in the Lions' Den" and "The
Shipwreck of the Apostle Paul." However, visitors to the
attraction will find several projects completed before the
television minister was ousted, including Der Bakker's
Bakkery; a pizza parlor featuring the "pastor's special," a
pizza with nine toppings; and a boutique peddling Tammy
Bakker cosmetics.
KICU Channel 36 filed a complaint in Santa Clara County
Superior Court against Jim and Tammy Bakker, seeking more
than $140,000 for airtime and contract obligations. Craig
Seiden, an attorney for the station, did not consider this
action unusual. "TV ministers often don't pay their bills,"
he said. "I've sued Jerry Falwell twice."

The Episcopal bishop of central Florida sued the U.S.
government for $200,000 because he could no longer genuflect.
Bishop William H. Folwell claimed he damaged his knee on
tennis courts at the Naval Training Center in Orlando,
Florida, leaving him permanently unable to perform the act
of reverence. Folwell sustained his injury when he slipped
on algae growing in the playing area. The decision to sue
the government "took a lot of thought, prayers, and
consultation," according to the bishop.
Attorneys for the government filed a counter suit, seeking
$5,200 from Folwell for "unlawful use, enjoyment, and wear
and tear on the courts." For five years, stated the counter
suit, Folwell scheduled tennis matches early in the morning
to avoid detection by security staff.

Dear Mr. Carter:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns on various issues.
I deeply regret the downing of Iran Air flight 655 which resulted in
the loss of innocent civilian life. I have been informed by the Pentagon,
however, that the United States intelligence reports indicated that Iran was
planning an incident to coincide with our Independence Day weekend.
Some have suggested the the U.S. pay reparations to the families of
those who died. I oppose such a payment. We must remember that this area is
a war zone. Iran has to share the responsibility for sending civilians into
this war zone. This is a regrettable incident; however, under the
circumstances, I believe the commander of the Vincennes made the proper
decision. In light of this incident, the U.S. should redouble its
peacemaking, as well as peacekeeping, efforts in the Iran-Iraq War.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Your concerns are ones which I
share.
Sincerely,
(Rubber Stamped John Henry)

In #53230 you cited me as an example of Libertarian views. If you will
think back on the views I expressed on abortion you will see that I did
not support abortion as it exists today. The views I gave were my own
and I have never heard or seen them written by anyone else. Add to this
the fact that I am not a member of the Libertarian Party and it becomes
clear that your tactic was to simply collect random ideas and construct
a 'dangerous' image of what the Libertartian Party would do if it were
in power.
If we used the same tactic to describe the Democratic and Republican
parties it would be easy to assert that they are unfit to govern, but we
don't have to. Their policies are written into law for all to see, so
we don't have to imagine what 'dangerous' things they might do. The
growth of government, to better solve the problems it has already
created, is a bi-partisan philosophy. At most they choose between 'fast'
or 'faster' erosion of individual freedom.
When you balk at the 'social cost' of Libertarian proposals and brand
anyone who is not convinced by this as 'shallow and mindless', you are
ignoring one thing. These proposals haven't been tried and their 'costs'
are not known and may not be so high. The costs of increasing statism are
not only known, but known to be eventually fatal.

If they succeed, in about 20 years, that is what "American" English would
look like. Looks real intellectual doesn't it? Sure, it may be correct
phonetically, but it looks STUPID! And can you imagine how embarrassing it
would be to have a whole generation of Americans who could not communicate

phonetical spellings would make it easier for the written word to be
learned, thus making it easier for the average Joe Blow to learn more. I
think it is just a copout for the fact that kids (and adults) don't want to
learn anything challenging. They want everything simplified and handed to

There were no spelling standards in English until the invention of the
printing press. English has been more or less frozen into its present
written form. The spoken form, however, has continued to change, giving us
written forms with less and less resemblance to the spoken forms (silent
letters, letters with lots of different pronunciations).

Phonetic spellings only look stupid to you because you have used written
English for so long. If you were brought up writing phonetically, English
would look stupid to you.
It's all a matter of perspective.

There has to be a qualified candidate named Bird. The cartoonists would do
Bird in the Bush jokes for months (years if he wins).

You missed my point, you chowderhead. I cited your views on abortion as an
example of the shallow approach of doctrinaire libertarians to issues that
do not fit easily into their "freedom/coercion" dichotomy. Your approach
(which you attributed to Murray Rothbard, a leading libertarian thinker --
so you can hardly deny that it is a libertarian view) was simply to twist
the question until it fit this framework.
You also suggest that I attributed social costs to libertarian proposals but
not to "statist" ones. Needless to say, this is a distorted version of what
I said. Take the question of drug legalization, for example. Legalizing
drugs would have some social costs and some social benefits. So would
keeping them illegal. Reasonable people may disagree on how the various
costs and benefits should be weighed, but the point is that they ought to be
weighed in making drug policy. Doctrinaire libertarians have no interest in
looking at the social costs of things like drug legalization; they simply
dismiss the question entirely, labeling drug laws an illegitimate use of
force. This is a shallow and potentially dangerous approach.

According to Elias Freij, the Christian mayor of Bethlehem,
the town has no money to combat the commercialism of the
birthplace of Jesus and gets virtually nothing from fellow
Christians around the world. Among the sights attracting
tourists to this increasingly honky-tonk city are the
Christmas Tree Cafe, All Kinds of Souvenirs Jewelry, and the
St. George Restaurant.
In the Sixth Century Church of the Nativity, where a
fourteen-point silver star marks the place of Jesus' birth,
the sign requesting absolute silence is usually ignored. A
few years ago, Greek Orthodox monks and Armenian clergy beat
each other with sticks and chairs as they fought over their
rights to hold services in the church.
Six miles away in Jerusalem, pilgrims can rent a wooden
cross on wheels to drag over the route which Christ walked.
At the top of the path, a young Arab collects the cross and
quickly returns it to the rental stand.
In Sydney, Australia, Said Abdallah and his son Bassam
were treated for injuries sustained when fighting broke out
in the Syrian Orthodox Church over who should pass the
collection plate. The brawl involved several families
wielding wooden clubs and knives, and had to be broken up by
the police.

According to another son, Gus, "It was all an accident.
Things like this usually don't happen at our church."
Two priests in San Leandro, California, attempting to
analyze what was wrong with a tape machine that broadcasts
chimes at St. Leander Catholic Church, inserted a recording
of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night." However, the
priests forgot to shut off the loudspeakers in the bell
tower during their test. Since the machine was working at
that point, the singer's popular hit was heard clearly within
a half-mile radius.
According to parish receptionist Anita Garcia, who was
listening to a country-music station on the radio at the
time, "I thought I was hearing things when I heard Sinatra's
song."
Security guards were called to quell a disturbance that
broke out in a prayer room established by fundamentalists
for the Canadian legislature when rival prayer groups entered
the room. A group of Christians called Prayer Canada
maintained that prayers could only be offered to "Our Lord,
Jesus Christ" and that non-Christian groups, including
Moslems, pagans, and Islamic Sufis, should be denied entry.
The various groups spoke in tongues, sang hymns, and chanted
mantras until officials ordered the prayer room closed.

Perhaps if the Libertarians were in office then this country may get
the shot in the arm that it's been needing. Perhaps then drug use would not
be so big of a problem.
Also, I do not believe that voting Libertaian would be a wasted
vote. As some knowledgable person pointed out, if enough people show
concern for the Libertarian viewpoint, perhaps some of their ideas will be
used in the next administration. If enough people vote Libertarian, a scare
of sorts just may cause this to happen.
