Then they came for me…

“First they came…” is a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then… they came for me… And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”

Is that the inevitible end to this story?

Hands Off Me Lucky Charms!

I always thought there were way too few marshmallow bits in a typical box of Lucky Charms.

Enter www.cerealmarshmallows.com, where you can buy the sweet morsels with nary an oat in sight. $15 will get you three eight-ounce bags, but really, what price could anyone put on a mouthful of yellow moons, green clovers and blue horseshoes?

Put ‘em in your bran flakes and really give your colon a twist!
