Merle Haggard Leaves Estate To Bakersfield LGBT Group
An even bigger shock came shortly after Haggard’s death when his lawyer read his last will and testament. Haggard left his entire estate to Interpride Enterprises, a Bakersfield, CA-based LGBT group that puts on Pride parades around the world. Many thought Haggard to be an ultra social conservative, but Haggard believed in equal rights.
The Scooper contacted Interpride and spoke to Raul Merman. We asked how they felt about the donation.
“It is absolutely wonderful,” said Raul. “We can do so much with this money. Research and helping us expand our various events. We plan on creating a Merle Haggard float for this year’s Pride parade in San Francisco on June 26th. It should really be something.”
Snared by satire. I appologize.

It didn't occur to me right away that this was not coming from the real DPRK news site:
Escaped rhinoceros from Pyongyang Zoo wrestled into submission by Kim Jong-Un
In my own defense, I listened to Radio Moscow, Radio Tirana, and North Korea on the shortwave back in the day, and there's nothing about this claim that would seem inconsistent with anything they would have broadcast.
And the site is still a hoot.
DPRK News Service
Four year old Park Jung-Hae named DPRK's youngest Hero of Socialist Labor for denouncing buckwheat hoarding plot of traitorous grandparents.
Boastful windsack Donald Trump undergoes womanly conniptions following setback in Wisconsin province, to dismay of his bootlicking flunkies.
And, to be on-topic:
Death of US folksinger and anti-government dissident Merle Haggard inspires mourning throughout Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.
Here's the real one: Korean Central News Agency
Once you get the hang of it, it's easy to tell them apart. For example:
Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- Supreme leader Kim Jong Un sent a letter "Let Us Bring About a Fundamental Turn in the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement in Line with the Demands of the Developing Revolution" to those attending the Fourth Conference of Frontrunners in the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement on November 20, Juche 104 (2015).
The full text of the letter says:
In this stirring period, when the whole Party, the entire army and all the people have turned out in the general offensive in hearty response to the Party's militant call to greet the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as the apex of the revolution noteworthy in its history, the Fourth Conference of Frontrunners in the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement is being held on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the launch of this movement.
and a waste of space.
Bako is about the last place one would expect to find such a group. It and surrounding Kern County are California's version of a Red state -- complete with Dallas Cowpies fans!
