Milk wasn't the mayor, he was an administrator (board of supervisors). Twinkies killed him.

You've never heard of the Twinkie Defense? The guy who killed him and Moscone claimed during his trial that a weeks-long binge on Twinkies and other sweet treats made him kill them. The jury bought it and found him not guilty.

Ummm, OJ? Peterson? They're loopier than a box of Fruit Loops.

Any jury that could actually buy the Twinkie Defense should be ashamed of themselves, for they have gone through life without the slightest shred of common sense.

This song is special to me because it brought a special girl into my life. I work in a bookstore and fell instantly head over heels in love with one very beautiful young woman named Kataryzna. We have a stero system at work and I was shy about playing my music because at the time I didn't know if we were aloud to play our own music. One day I was sick of listening to everyone else's choices of music that I decided to put on a mixed cd of Stevie Nicks tunes. Touched By An Angel is the 10 track on the Cd and when I played it two female employee's (she was one of them) instantly were wanting to know the name of the singer and the song. She kept asking me to play this song for her as she thought was so amazing. Gradually I made Kataryzna not only a fan of SN and Fm (She thinks LB is very hot!) but my girlfriend as well. We have been together almost three years. She is currently
teaching in Korea and when she returns I plan to ask her to marry me !!! She has made so happy!!! Amazing how the power of music can bring people together.
