Q. Are your news stories real?
A. No. Our stories are purely fictional. However they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to real events happening in the world
Q. Who are your influences?
A. Bat for Lashes, Dave Brubeck, Regina Spektor and Jeff Buckley.
Q. What is the origin of the name "The Daily Currant ?
A. The name is a play on words. In English the words courant, current, and currant are often pronounced identically.
Courant is a Dutch loan word that for a time was a popular name for newspapers. The UK's The Daily Courant was the first newspaper in the English langauge, and The Hartford Courant is the oldest American newspaper still in publication. Current as an adjective means "Belonging to the present time; happening or being used or done now" and is often used in the context of news as in "current affairs" or "current events". As a noun current may refer literally to an electrical current, and metaphorically to technology. Or literally to ocean currents and metaphorically to strong slowly changing trends in society. Currant is a type of fruit known scientifically as Ribes which produce edible sour berries. The distinctive color of redcurrants (Ribes rubrum) lends the newspaper its color scheme. The name is thus intended to sound like a newspaper, but is spelled like the fruit in a subtle reference to the newspaper's satirical nature.
Q. Your motto is "cauta est et ab illis incipit uxor". What does this mean?
A. The motto is a quote from Juvenal's Satire VI. The phrase literally means "the wife plans ahead and begins with them." The line directly preceding it is the much more famous "quis custodiet ipsos custodes" or "who watches the watchers?" The motto is thus a tongue-in-cheek reference to both The Daily Currant's mission to hold the powerful to account and its satirical nature.
Some of those people must be taking like seven or eight marijuanas to get that high. If it's going to be legal it needs to come with warnings about how many to take at once.
I think it was more than 7 or 8 marijuanas. My guess is more around 14-15 weeds. Probably mixed it alcohol. Damn kids and their loud music.
And allowed it into the mixed race neighborhoods. Weeds, malt liquor, and loud hip hop are a powder keg. Keep your white women under close watch. Arm yourselves. Be prepared.
