More signs of the failure of our secular and self-centered culture
Anyone who is paying attention knows that there is something deeply wrong with American society today. That much is obvious. Increasingly obvious, albeit less well known, is the fact that the fixes that all too many people are applying to heal their broken lives are not helping a thing; in fact, they’re only making things worse. In many cases, they’re the source of the problem. But when will we turn away from these spurious therapies and embrace some genuine solutions?
Take, for instance, a Monday news item from WCBI, a TV station in Columbus, Miss. The headline was straightforward enough: “Arkansas woman arrested, accused of making bomb threats in Oxford.” We’re told that “Oxford Police said an Arkansas woman is facing charges for making bomb threats in Rebel territory. 29-year-old Lily Mestemacher is accused of false reporting of placing explosives. Police said they got information that she was mentioning bomb threats in Oxford on social media several times.”
All right. That’s bad enough in itself, but the story also carries a photo of Lily Mestemacher. The attentive reader will notice quickly that there is something off about Ms. Mestemacher: she is actually Mr. Mestemacher. In what is clearly a mug shot, a scruffy fellow with messy bleached hair and about a week’s growth of beard grins weirdly, his abundant chest hair visible over his orange prison v-neck.
So who’s crazier: “Lily” Mestemacher, or the “journalists” who believe that they have a duty to indulge his fantasies by referring to him, without any caveat or explanation at all, as an “Arkansas woman”? Could Mr. Lily have been helped along the path that ultimately led him to issue bomb threats by all the people around him who anxiously encouraged and abetted his delusions, rather than trying to bring him back to a healthy understanding of reality? Would a healthier society have taken this man’s conviction that he is a woman as a sign of mental instability that could manifest itself in other ways as well?

Is it kosher?

It’s Mississippi. Some sort of barbeque sauce for 12+ hours on low. Possibly with shrimp.
The author of the article obviously didn’t understand the culture and tried a lame joke: What do you call a man married to another man who hooks up with a bearded lady? Stu.
According to the article, the murderer decided to stage a scavenger hunt for the police: after they had located the head, he told them “have fun finding the other organs.”
I think that this is too weird for the Bee to tough.
First, the eyelids were sewn shut and the lips were skewered with sticks. Then, in a large boiling pot of water, the heads were simmered, emerging about a third of their original size with darker skin that was more rubbery and tough. The process continues as hot stones and hot sand was placed inside the heads, which created a “tanning” effect on the inside, and the head was shaped further using additional hot stones until it was molded into the desired shape.
Overcooking the heads makes them gooey and they don't keep very well so I'm careful not to do that. I love these recipe threads.
Hope that helps!
He was delayed in arriving at the table, but the delay made him much more tender, and a seasoned guest.
Never trust a bearded woman who asks you to come to dinner.
I missed how your question fits so nicely with your screen name!
RE: Mug shot....
Remember, women, especially adolescent ones, this creepy guy probably went on dating sites with Chris Evans pictures substituted to fool you.
Interesting novel title is Love in the Time of Serial Killers By Alicia Thompson.
That escalated rather quickly.
I try to remain low key but there are times when it's impossible.........
Edgar: ‘Now there’s something you don’t see every day, Chauncey.’ Chauncey: ‘What’s that, Edgar?’ Edgar: ‘A Bearded Woman and a Severed Head in a Crock Pot.’
Several of the nitwit wokesters on Hannity forums have been saying that if you do not use the lunatic’s preferred pronouns that you are exhibiting entitlement.
Crock Pot??
Doesn’t she know “Sous-vide” is all the rage??
I saw an actual shrunken head. A white woman with very long blonde hair. Preserved in a large bell jar with a heavy wooden bottom. Cecille B. DeMille estate. No kidding. Wish I had not.
