Nobody will ever know what actually happened there. All parties have proven themselves to be liars. There's no credibility anywhere. And the "crime scene" was bulldozed less than a month after the incident.<br /><br />It's pretty tough to get the truth from deceitful vermin like religious wackos, the FBI, the ATF and the Justice Department. Everybody's just covering their asses. There seems to be plenty of blame to go around without reaching unfounded conclusions.<br /><br />Koresh may have been a complete lunatic and horrible musician, but the ATF's "cowboy" attitude set things in motion. Memo to morons: You don't conduct a "secret" raid when you know that the people you are raiding have been tipped off.<br /><br />Couldn't they have just arrested Koresh when he went into town for viddles?<br /><br />But that's ancient history and kinda boring too. <br /><br />I'd rather free dance to Don Ellis' "Pussy Wiggle Stomp."<br /><br />That's the only spinning my ass wants to do.<br /><br />Vickie RockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-12910042002662643672013-07-31T18:24:05.686-04:002013-07-31T18:24:05.686-04:00OBJECTION -- ASSUMES HORSESHIT NOT IN EVIDENCE!!!!...OBJECTION -- ASSUMES HORSESHIT NOT IN EVIDENCE!!!!<br /><br />And no, we're not gonna get into that crap, because if somebody posts something in support of that completely bogus meme, I'll delete it so fast your ass will spin.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-66202249495338088162013-07-31T17:49:00.200-04:002013-07-31T17:49:00.200-04:00Koresh was evil personified but Janet Reno ordered...Koresh was evil personified but Janet Reno ordered the buildings set afire thus dooming those innocent children.

First time I heard it used was by Frazier Smith an L.A. radio personality. I love that one.<br /><br />It seems that all Vernon Howell's are A Must To Avoid. <br /><br />I don't know why, probably because of the Barely Man-Enough reference, I tangentially thought of this. It's a little ditty Sandy and I used to merrily sing to the tune of the chorus of Gary Puckett & the Union Gap's "Young Girl." It goes like this:<br /><br />Young girl get out of my bed<br />You're only good for giving me head<br />You're too young girl<br />I'm too well hung girl<br /><br />I think you'll agree, it makes that song much more enjoyable.:-)<br /><br />Vickie Rock<br /><br />BTW, for those who don't remember, Frazier Smith's catch phrase was "Too hip. Gotta go."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-68945579074806807662013-07-31T10:15:20.598-04:002013-07-31T10:15:20.598-04:00And now I am filled with pure hate, too --- for Ve...And now I am filled with pure hate, too --- for Vernon Howell.

Amazing!!<br /><br />But why are you teasing us with the Barely Man-Enough thing?<br /><br />The only thing that I heard that is remotely comparable to that is this:<br /><br />A guy named Chuck Moshontz worked L.A. rock radio from the Eighties till 2000. He was both news and radio personality. He's a family therapist now.<br /><br />He and a friend were hitch-hiking in 1969 and got picked up by members of the Manson family who took them to party and hang with them at Spahn Ranch. This was just days before the murders.<br /><br />Moshontz told this story on the radio years ago. Probably on the Mark & Brian show. He said they seemed like really nice communal hippies. The girls got along famously with their proprietor, George Spahn, who seemed to have a nickname for all of them.<br /><br />Manson wasn't around. He was in Big Sur.<br /><br />Needless to say, he was shocked that some of the people he was partying with did the grisly deed. It had to be spine chilling.<br /><br />Vickie RockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
