The following is taken verbatim from my hometown newspaper this morning:
"During Monday night's City Council meeting, Jimmy Marks, a well known Gypsy leader, have the city clerk a quart jar filled with what he said was "Jesus Soup", and he asked that it be given to the major to help him in his recovery from cancer. The soup stock was made in part from the boiled head of a salmon that Marks' son had caught recently off the Washington coast and is believed in Gypsy culture to have mystical powers related to the prayers of Gypsies and thier antecedents. Marks and members of his family sued the city and won a settlement in a civil rights claim stemming from police raids on two Gypsy homes in 1986. Anger over the case led to a Gypsy curse being placed on the city. "The curse has worked well," Marks declared."
It's a madhouse. A madhouse.
