And here are some doings in the other Moscow.
Three or Four Wool Blankets
Now it is freely to be admitted that if a regular person with no axe to grind sat down with a copy of the Moscow City Code, and his goal was to decide whether or not the Food Co-op ought to be allowed to move from its current location into the old Garts building, the …
Different Weights and Measures
Hypocrisy is the application of a double standard in favor of (surprise!) one’s very own self. The Intoleristas in Moscow (and probably in your town as well) are particularly adept at this. They excel in demanding a wooden, clunky, inflexible standard of law for their adversaries, and for themselves, well — that’s what ethical relativism …
Sauce for the Goose
Suppose something showed up at an official government kind of place Monday morning, and it looked something like this: TO: CITY OF MOSCOW ZONING ADMINISTRATOR RE: ZONING COMPLAINT PER MCC 4-11-7 DATE: MAY 16, 2005 COMPLAINT The Moscow Food Co-Op is expressly prohibited from conducting business at its intended location on 5th and Washington in …
Trochaic Ruminations
In the Northwest called Pacific In a town near Moscow Mountain Was a church that riled the natives, A tribe they called Intolerista. This tribe attacked with shrill invective, With keening and progressive yodling, Along with fruit and some dead-catting. Now in God’s kindly providences, Displaying all His sovereign mercies, The names of all these …

Not broken prose But prose broken- That resurrection power Might be displayed, And like the Word These tiny words Can also then be called and named sons of God. Yet how many men Have been crucified? With broken legs, They suffocate. A pole upright, Half-pound nails And murderous …
Goose Stepping Diversity
One of our Intoleristas here in Moscow has been Prof. William Ramsey, and he recently posted an article entitled “The Late Unpleasantness in Idaho: Southern Slavery and the Culture Wars.” In said article he attempts an overview of the Fracas here in Moscow, and he gets enough details wrong that I take back anything I …
Quite Festive
Yesterday was something of a circus maximus. For those of you following all this (and there are quite a few), I have been trying to arrange a meeting with Terry Morin for over two years now. When he recently decided to post his affidavits on his web site, I decided that it was finally time …
At Least I Now Know How to Spell “Affidavit”
One of the common assumptions made by some of my adversaries is that I have been very reluctant to talk about certain incidents/controversies in the past (as I certainly have been). But they then go on to assume that the reason for this reluctance is that I am interested in covering stuff up, for I …
A Quick Follow Up
This last weekend I wrote a detailed account of the disruption in our church that happened after I came to paedobaptist convictions. When I wrote this, I did not have certain documents with me, thus preventing me from quoting from those documents verbatim. That deficiency has been remedied, and so I would like to follow …
