Joan, that link was hilarious and frightening. I sent it to a friend of mine who is the editor of the official X-Files magazine. I must take issue with the IFAS interpretation of Robertson's comments. He wasn't advocating stoning just UFO enthusiasts. He was merely advocating the stoning to death of all who he deems pagans. What an outlandish hateful thing for him to say! The only places on the earth where they still stone people are in Iran and Afghanistan. That's why I sometimes rather nastily refer to the Christian right as the Taliban or the Ayatollahs. Still, I would defend Robertson's right to say whatever he wants--as long as he doesn't actually carry out his progrom.

Good quote from the bad: Quote that haunts President Clinton likes to talk, so it is no wonder his words sometimes come back to haunt him. Take, for example, these remarks on June 13, 1996, in a speech about teen pregnancy, quoted in a U.S. News & World report and reprinted in Thursday's Wall Street Journal: "The other thing we have to do is to take seriously the role in this problem of ... older men who prey on underage women. ... There are consequences to decisions and ... one way or another, people always wind up being held accountable." washtimes.com
