Court Jester reviews BOS and other misdemeanors
February 28, 2007
"In Deuteronomy, it says: 'If a man
lies with a woman
who is the wife of another man,
that man and the woman
should be stoned to death.'"
(Public speaker at yesterday's Board of Supervisors

park outside San Jose to share the biblical remedy with us.

Dadullah
Taliban military commander
"The Americans have sown a seed. They will
reap the crop for quite a long time. We will get our revenge
on them, whether in Afghanistan or outside. The suicide martyrs,
those willing to blow themselves up, are countless. Hundreds
have registered their names already and are ready to go and
we have hundreds more on the waiting list. Each is anxious to
be the first to be sent."
