something just seems off on this one:
Burnsville · Weisman Publications – Christian Identity

Charles Weisman’s work seems to be in that vein of folk obsessed with “true” and “false” Jews. Some key words to search on would include “Kenite”, “Adamite”, “British Israelism” and “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” — from there, you can roll your own racist conspiracy theory hotdish.

Baker, I thought that, too.

A high-school friend of mine was once the leader of the “Northern Hammer Skinheads.” I was shoveling my parents’ driveway one day, on winter break from college, when he pulled up, made some small talk, and gave me his skinhead business card!!! I told him he was full of shit and insisted that we go see Schindler’s List — awesome intervention, i know, but I was only 19, and ill-equipped to deprogram a neo-nazi….

I should add that he wasn’t my friend when he became a skinhead. Apparently it happened in the army. Nothing ever came of my attempt to convince him that he was losing his mind. He killed himself a few years later, maybe accidentally; maybe not.

The last thing most people expect to see when sipping a cup of coffee is a strange man pleasuring himself at the next table.
Some patrons of Dunn Bros Coffee in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood witnessed such an event firsthand at about 10 p.m. Oct. 12.

That is some inspired writing!

haha…. first hand

Maybe Dunn Bros was out of protein drinks?

sweet, I need to hang out there more often. Does he stop by at lunch time? I could run over there right now …
