Wacko of the Week, August 2, 2008

EDGAR MITCHELL --
"Space Cadet"



Dr. Mitchell this week stated in an interview that there are visitors from other planets coming to the Earth.

This man imagines that since he went to the moon, other people can come here. Was it the psychic burdens of a trip to the far side of the moon, or did he ingest too much space dust? How can anyone think that other intelligent beings from far away could be sailing through the deep recesses of space?

BIRCHES has done a survey of our neighbors and found this: Everyone willing to comment has said that Edgar Mitchell must be nuts. People agree that there is no such thing as aliens from outer space or flying saucers or other such nonsense. If a Gallup poll were conducted of this neighborhood, we would all vote "no" and that ought to settle that. Majority rules. As Harvey Keck remarked: "I ain't never seen none."

BIRCHES has also sought comments from more prominent sources such as Lindsay Lohan and George W. Bush. As Bush said, "er, um." And Lohan commented: "This is manipulative phenomenology illustrative of the Age of Fantasticism in which we now live. We tend to believe that wild things like spidermen and batwomen and gods can be real because they are pitched to us with monotonous regularity in our profit-oriented media. It's another example of capitalist greed overcoming common sense."

From BIRCHES' point of view, Edgar Mitchell represents a very dangerous trend: People believing in things they cannot see. It is sad that a prominent man like this, a man with nothing more than a doctorate in Aeronautics from MIT, can run around pretending to understand these things. Next, it will be the Pope telling us there are angels.

RUNNERS UP-
BILL SCHRAMM - of Saint Petersburg Florida. He operates an "EXOTIC ART GALLERY" and had a live nude model swinging from the ceiling. But, this is not the only problem, he also served wine. It is illegal to have alcohol in the presence of uncovered genitalia in Florida. Everyone knows that. Off to jail you go.

Has this shocking guy no modesty at all? Who would patronize a place like this? Art, indeed. Oh, by the way, the place is here: 2501 Gallery, Central Avenue, St. Pete's. But, leave your pocket flask at home. CLICK

FLECK and DARCY - The new Bonnie and Clyde, an alleged (and confessed) criminal couple from Philadelphia, who over the last 18 months, have egged the property of more than 400 people. No one said they were very mature. The damage is estimated at $7,000. Why? They wanted to get even with someone and needed to deflect suspicion by hitting lots of innocents as well, or something like that. Oh, go read about it yourself:
