Good Morning Morons. Today is Sunday, April 10, 2016. On this day in 1821 Patriarch Gregory V of Constantinople was hanged by the muzzie Ottoman government from the main gate of the Patriarchate and his body was thrown into the Bosphorus.

After nearly a decade of foot dragging and disregard for a court order the corrupt Obamanites finally release Fast and Furious documents. However after an initial look at them the Republicans say they did not release all that was requested. So the cover-up of Holder's illegal activities continues.

Idiot Suckymyer doesn't like Obama's latest SCOTUS pick. This political idiot with zero experience was confirmed 68/31 by the Senate. There were 9 Republican RINO sell-outs otherwise she would have been toast. This statement confirms that she lied during her confirmation hearings regarding actions based on political belief instead of law. She should be impeached after Obama is gone.

The Dirt Band was great Friday night.
The half step they might have lost since the old days was more than made up for by their closeness with each other and the audience.

Good Sunday Morning, Hordelings! This week I decided to get serious. Somber, even. Many of you know I am transitioning from a very casual church that I love to a church that I, uh, have to dress up for. Ixnay on the flip-flops and jeans. I am trying to be cheerful while simultaneously gritting my teeth. If you feel fingernails gripping the pew behind you, it might be me. So. Instead of my usual happy upbeat cheerful joyful fun Christian praise and worship, I am featuring a choir from St. Olaf's College in Minnesota. Because, Lutheran. Also Scandi. And soon I shall be a Scandi Lutheran. So.
In all seriousness, this is quite a beautiful hymn, sung accapella by a choir that really lets the music build upon itself. Lovely.

Happy Sunday everybody! It's chilly but sunny here.
I went to the Orthodox church liturgy on Saturday evening. It's kind of like evensong in the Anglican tradition, but has chanting and lots of incense. Everything gets a "dose" of it because incense is regarded as being like prayers rising to heaven. I also went to an Orthodox baptism yesterday which is full of prayers. It is longer than what we have in the Protestant tradition but also very beautiful and meaningful. I ams starting a new assignment next week (in addition to the PT one I have) as an interim Pastor. Today is a day of transition for the church I will be going to serve, so prayers for their current pastor and all their members for strength and peace and the knowledge that God is and will be with them would be greatly appreciated. Thx. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at April 10, 2016 08:25 AM (w4NZ8) 104
Scandi Lutheran?? ELCA?? If so you'll have a hard time finding a more liberal theology. You could be referring to ELS which is Norski and solid. Either way God Bless. Don't worry about your appearance - God deserves a clean shirt and pressed pants - no?

Tucson was a fun place to live, but I never could get used to the landscape. The mountains were only pretty at sunrise and sunset.

Al Gore and a dozen state atty. gen.s met under a banner: 'AGs for Clean Power'. Funny, I thought they were supposed to be for the law. But on the Left, there is no difference between the law and political ends anymore; it's all just brute force. And evidently, there is no crime in California or New York anymore, so they can target Climate heretics in their weather witch-hunts.
They subpoenad a think tank for disagreeing with Al Gore's Revealed Truth(tm) religion. This is like Nixon breaking into his opponents Watergate offices, only using the police powers of the state instead of having black-bag men taping the door locks. They should just let Gore's fanboy the Unabomber out and deputize him to find out what these businessmen are up to. Environmental Fascism is still Fascism.

In this particular denomination they are appointed by the hierarchy so the church doesn't get a say unless at the first meeting it's such a disaster that neither party wants to be part of it, but I have never heard of that happening. God can work in both sorts of systems-the call system and the appointment system. i do think the hierarchy prays a lot about this (as opposed to throwing darts at a dartboard)so that's a good thing.

About the Lackland AFB shooter I'm confused as hell. Shooter got into the FBI at 38, and left by the time he was 40. Only two years. Then he goes to the USAF and enlists as a 40 year old so somehow his old ass had to get a waiver to get in He is made a TSgt as some sort of credit for his FBI service. The day he shot up the Medina annex they were doing training. Story in the Daily Mail says the guy who stopped him saved a bunch of lives somehow. So it doesn't sound like he just wanted to kill the CO, he wanted to kill more than that Who is the shooter? There have been reports but the USAF will not say What was his motive? Who else was he trying to kill? How did his old ass get a waiver? Did he have a special skill like say, Arabic language speaker? Why the quickie promotion? Why did he leave the FBI after only two years? Why did he enter the FBI so old to begin with? Did the FBI appropriately characterize his time at the FBI? Or did they just shove him off the the USAF? Did the USAF properly vet him? Or did they just take the this word for it? Not Making Sense Also, note the media silence in this Posted by: ThunderB at April 10, 2016 08:57 AM (zOTsN) 163

In early 2006, Reeve explained, OnPoint Tactical was approached by a rather unusual client. In fact, when we spoke about the subject again several months later by telephone, Reeve emphasized how strange -- even surreal -- the man's story was. Nonetheless, he said, this much was certain: One day a man showed up at an OnPoint Tactical training exercise, accompanied by two federal security guards.
This gentleman, whose name Reeve would not reveal in order to maintain client anonymity, had been arrested a few years earlier for a spree of sophisticated bank robberies in Los Angeles. As a condition of his sentence being reduced, even potentially commuted altogether, the man had been asked to assist with an incredible task. He had been asked to plan bank heists against al Qaeda.

Age limit to enter USAF pararescue is normally 28, he was 40 He had to have some sort of special skill in short supply to get these age waivers Posted by: ThunderB at April 10, 2016 09:11 AM (zOTsN) 182
Students at Ohio State University who attempted to occupy the area outside of president Michael V. Drake's office late Wednesday night experienced a surprise -- and a taste of the cruel, real world -- when a senior administrator coolly advised them that they would be arrested and expelled if they didn't retreat from their "occupied space."

"How did his old ass get a waiver? Did he have a special skill like say, Arabic language speaker? "
I believe that the process is called "Direct Procurement". Special and limited skills needed by the military allow a reach out to individuals possessing these skills,and allow direct entry at an advanced pay grade considered commensurate with their level of skill. In the lead up to the Gulf War, when I was recruiting, the search for certified Morticians to go active duty, in expectation of massive casualties was well documented. I expect that this is a similar story. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at April 10, 2016 09:13 AM (ptqRm) 185

39 is the age limit to enlist in the Air Force with a few exceptions like ministry, medical, and law. The Army raised their age limit to 42 a while back, but they went reverted to the 35 year old limit.

No picture of him. No family interviews. No race ever given. No motive for the shooting. No idea why he left the FBI after only two years. No idea how he got the waivers. But they are always looking for Arabic speakers

"Nothing on his life before the USAF and FBI. Nothing on his personal life"
I agree that something stinks to high heaven about this particular individual. And I suspect that we will never be told the complete back story and truth concerning him. Earlier, I was simply trying to explain the machinations of how someone could enter active duty at an advanced age, and leave Boot Camp at an advanced pay grade. Another example is the procurement of individuals for the Navy's Musician rating. Many of them enter at either E-5, or often E-6, simply due to the reality of if you want to attract and hire accomplished musicians, you better be prepared to offer something higher than E-2 pay. Obviously, that doesn't apply in this case, but another example of deviation from the norm, Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at April 10, 2016 09:30 AM (ptqRm) 197

Re: the Ohio State protest, LOL. There were something like a dozen students. They claimed to have been given permission to stay inside Bricker Hall until 5 am in the morning. Then at midnight, they were told they had to leave. When they protested and wanted to know what was meant by "being arrested', they were told the police would pick them up, put them in paddy wagons and take them to jail. They also would be expelled from school.
As an alum, I am moved to possibly sending an extra gift to the university for not putting up with crap from these snowflakes. The students and faculty members involved in this are the usual suspects. Gender studies, sexuality, African American studies, etc. http://thelantern.com/2016/04/reclaimosu-releases-statement-regarding-treatment-at-sit-in/ Posted by: Jen the original at April 10, 2016 11:11 AM (ph1j2) 207
