‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month’ - LGBT
Pride Month is currently celebrated annually in the month of June to honor the
1969 Stonewall Inn civil unrest in New York City, otherwise known as the
“Stonewall Riots,” that took place following a police raid on the Stonewall
Inn, a gay bar at 43 Christopher Street, in Manhattan. In subsequent years,
marches, parades, festivals, and events have been scheduled in the spring to
shed additional light on the civil rights of the gay and lesbian community.

This year, in Carroll County, it was decided by the
organizing committee that in order to be respectful of other Pride events that
are taking place in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Frederick, MD,
The Westminster Pride Festival wanted to kick off its inaugural year with no
calendar conflicts. “People do generally celebrate pride with more than one festival,
especially on the east coast where it is easy to make it to various pride parades
and festivals.” said Garber.

“And, in light of the tragedy at the Capital Gazette in
Annapolis, Maryland, let us not forget that the willingness to sign your name
to an article, a column, a masthead continues to require an uncommon bravery we
often take for granted.” -- Christopher Carosa, president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, for USA Today.

WHAT'S HAPPENING
People are still talking about Annapolis after a man armed
with a shotgun and smoke grenades stormed into the newsroom of a community
newspaper chain in Maryland’s capital on Thursday afternoon, killing five staff members, injuring two others. It
prompted law enforcement agencies across the country to provide protection at
the headquarters of media organizations.

down on students who publish articles on protests, sexuality, and other

CafePress, an online retailer, was in hot water for selling T-shirts emblazoned with the
phrase “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” CafePress pulled the
shirts soon after the outcry began, but then the question shifted to why it
carried them in the first place. The message has been seen on t-shirts at Trump rallies for almost two years. But the fury over
the message has increased since last week, when five journalists were killed in
a shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in
Annapolis, Maryland.

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta has appeared in
at least one advertisement for his brother’s Democratic congressional campaign,
raising questions about his objectivity in reporting on the
president’s health. At the very least, experts say, it creates the perception
of bias. (And we all know what the SPJ Code of Ethics says about that.)

Beef Bulgogi
Beef Bulgogi
For dinner this evening, Babylon family foodies, Marnie and Louis Paumier, made Beef Bulgogi, a Korean meal that literally means 'fire meat' in Korean. Thursday, June 7, 2018
For 10 person (ish) do 200ml soy sauce, 200 ml water, 50ml mirin, 100g sugar, 1 table spoon of minced garlic, 1 tea spoon of pepper. The key is how the sauce tastes before you mix it with meat. I would taste it and control the sweetness by sugar or honey. And sesame oil and sesame seeds. Probably 2.5 lb thin shaved beef.

Living and loving in the age of asparagus
Living and loving in
the age of asparagus
Or - Mary Katherine
Ham to Alicia Silverstone: Go Hunting
October 3rd,
2007 by Kevin E. Dayhoff
Although I have spent a large portion of my life as a
vegetarian; as I grew older and life got particularly hectic, I gave it up –
for now anyway. Who knows, tomorrow, I may go back. Whatever.
A number of years ago, as I was attempting to reason with an
unreasonable person and losing miserably, a colleague said to me:
“You know what your problem is?”
“Ugh.” I really did not need advice at that particular moment;
however, I prized his friendship and sheepishly asked: “What?”
“It's a dog eat dog world out there, and you're a
vegetarian!"
We solved that by going out to a sub shop where I gave up the
anorexic bliss of salads and voraciously scarfed down a cheese-steak sandwich.
It was a road to Damascus experience
I still lose miserably with folks who accept narcissistic
fiction as fact, however, I am bigger now, and I figure that if I am to eaten
alive, I might as well give folks a flavorful super-sized meal.
Then again, to be candid, I was never good at being a
vegetarian. I never stopped eating animal crackers and every once and awhile at
Moms, I’d dive into a steak – and I can rarely remember missing turkey at
Thanksgiving.
I have a number of colleagues and some family members who
are, at the moment, practicing vegetarians - and I respect that choice. Besides,
I really like vegetables. Then there are folks who don’t like vegetables or are
otherwise broccoli intolerant. To them I say, ya really ought to “give peas a
chance.”
A member of my family, who is an avid vegetarian, recently
gave some seafood a try. Bold.
Then again, writing for the Washington Post, Joel Achenbach
says that:
“Certain
kinds of seafood, such as lobster, clams, and crabs, are honorary forms of
meat, but a small filet of a low-fat white fish should be viewed as essentially
a vegetable. Raw oysters are manfood, as is any fish served with the head on
and the mouth gaping in horror.
Me, I could live off of Dr. Pepper, coffee and grits. Hey,
don’t knock the cooking with Dr. Pepper book. There are some great recipes in
there.
I never tried the “vegan” approach. I often wondered how the
term came about. When I was quite young I had a great deal of confusion over
the term “vegetarian.” If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians
eat?
Mr. Achenbach calls to our attention a savior for vegans,
who every once in awhile, go Jonesing for a milkshake – “soy cows.”
In the column he was initially singing the praises of his
new “Fabulator 5000.”
What is a “Fabulator 5000?” I am so glad you asked. I was
fascinated about this development since I am still using the Fabulator model
No. 1953.
I’ll let Mr. Achenbach ‘splain:
“I
love my new food printer, the Fabulator 5000, which makes the previous food
printers look not just clunky but positively medieval. There's no more
click-and-point nonsense on the screen, no more waiting five or six
interminable minutes for the food to print. You just tell the Fab 5 what you
want. The food comes out in about three or four seconds, complete with garnish
and a complementary wine.”
Oh, the “soy cows?” Apparently Mr. Achenbach recently “took
the kids … to Homewood Farm to see a good old-fashioned agricultural
enterprise…”
“I got a look at the new soy
cows, grazing in the large field just north of the orchard. The USDA apparently
felt that soy milk could be produced much more efficiently if it came from cows
made of soy. These cows are so green they nearly blend into the landscape. They
say the soy milk is a lot better tasting (not as beany, somehow) than the stuff
derived from plants, and the soy burgers are more tender. But you've probably
read about how the soy cows dry up badly in drought conditions -- they
literally wilt -- and even catch fire. Bored teenagers have been blamed for
setting some of the cow fires.”
There is much to be appreciated by the vegetarian lifestyle;
nevertheless my goal was to not be evangelical about it all.
But – and ya know there was going to be a “but” in here soon
– I’ve never been fond of PETA’s Strindbergian
gloom and bleakness approach to advocacy.
When I was a practicing vegetarian, invariably, some folks
would suggest some linkage to me, a vegetarian, with PETA’s in-your-face
humorless lactose intolerant militancy which often seems more oriented to being
obnoxious and annoying than being compelling a persuasive to what is otherwise,
a perfectly fine lifestyle.
At a local government - social event, a local elected
official’s wife was horrified that I was a vegetarian. “How can a big strapping
former Marine be a vegetarian,” she gasped.
I solved that in quick order. She was a dog lover and the
owner of a huge St. Bernard. I mean huge – about the size of a water buffalo.
I asked her if she had ever eaten dog. When I was in the
Marines, a South Vietnamese ranger once cooked-up a mess of dog.
I suggested to my scowling friend that her St. Bernard could
feed an entire village… And one wonders why I lost my last election?
Recently Alicia Silverstone did an ad for PETA that has garnered
a garnered a great deal of attention. I can’t believe that it is winning over
any converts to vegetarianism, but it has attracted attention to PETA.
Whether it is really the sort of attention that an advocacy
organization wants is a bigger issue for which there is not right or wrong, it
just isn’t my cup of tea.
Nevertheless, in age
of so much strife and discord, I yearn
for a time when peas will rule the planets, and love won’t be such a fuss. I
long for the dawn of the age of asparagus.
Enter stage right, Mary Katherine Ham. Ms. Ham has done a
spoof on the Ms. Silverstone ad that is a real crack-up.
