I just wanted to throw a quick shout out to Patterico's Constitutional Vanguard project:
http://patterico.com/become-a-member-of-the-constitutional-vanguard/ It's in the very early stages, but if you're looking for an outlet to actual action that could potentially turn the country's politics back towards some sort of constitutional ideal, it's a group that I would recommend joining. We're currently discussing potential courses of action, and we have about 500 people so far. I want to see those numbers increase. So, please, think of signing up for the newsletter and, despite Ace's wishes to cut the cord with Facebook, join the (closed) Facebook group.

There are shitloads of ossuaries all over Europe from WWI. Honeslty, we just have no idea. Just in Italy:
The memorial hosts in walled niches 6,099 identified soldiers; some great collective tombs host the remains of 3,226 unidentified fallen soldiers. The main body of the monument of Monte Grappa contains the remains of 10,332 unidentified fallen soldiers and of 2,283 identified. Inside the wall are niches where lie about a thousand French soldiers, arrived in April 1918 and died in the Battle of the Solstice and the Final Battle of Vittorio Veneto. This monument, also known as the Shrine "of hundred thousand" contains the remains of 100,187 soldiers. Here lie the remains of 454 fallen German soldiers and 8,128 of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Here is the large tomb that holds the remains of 4,700 soldiers remained nameless. Inside are 9,707 fallen Italian (4,455 unknown) and 37 Austro-Hungarian And that is just from WW I. Europe is capable of making a lot of raw material to repair that cathedral. Think about the coming war.... Posted by: blaster at May 20, 2016 03:44 PM (tewYv) 44

While it may seem like a bizarre concept, Sedlec Ossuary is not the only bone chapel in existence.
The Brno Ossuary has an even larger collection with a confirmed total of 50,000 human remains. This is the largest supply after the Paris Catacombs. "Supply" is a really odd choice of word there.

In Britain, when they excavate churchyards, they will find infants that were secretly buried there. The babies werent baptized bc the mother was naughty so they were denied a funeral. So the mothers/family would bury the infant at night in the churchyard. You think someone would see fresh earth turned up and figure it out. Maybe, they just looked the other way...

Czechia has always been Czechia (since Slovakia escaped, anyways). US media use "Czech Republic" because a) they are ignorant morons and 2) they think everyone else is as stupid as they themselves are. It's stupid to use Czech Republic, that's just the government. We say England not the House of Windsor, or America instead of the Bureaucratic Despotism of Obama. Though I was always holding out for the widespread use of "Czechland."

"134 Czechia and Chechnya sound too much alike unless I'm pronouncing them wrong. "
I say Check-ee-ah or CheH-ee-ah if I want to sound pretentious. The H is rough, almost like the CH in Bach, but not as much throat-clearing. Chechnya is more like Chesh-knee-ya. The N in the middle and the more shshshy 'ch' are the difference. It is pretty close, but so are Slovakia and Slovenia. Though that's why I liked Czechland. No ambiguity there. It makes more sense, if you think about it. Finnland is the land of the Finns, Scotland is the land of the Scots, Poland is the land of the Poles, and Ireland is the land of ire. Perfect fit.

Also, there was a filled trench with bayonets
sticking up, where an explosion had buried soldiers alive. They just left them in the trench. The things you remember as a little kid. Posted by: Jane D'oh I was told they all died from mustard gas, and they just fill it in. Did not want to touch anything. Posted by: Paladin at May 20, 2016 04:44 PM (E1aoU) 216
I have yet to read about a movie in Cannes that gets applause.

Sacre Bleu, where are the underage girls lusting after old, fat Frenchmen? Where is the pointless artsy nudity? Where are the interminably long scenes depicting people feeling depressed about how life is meaningless? This film is le merde!

10 Easy, you just kill 40-70000 more people. There has to be that many hobos in Europe, right? Not like anyone will miss them.

So some nut was shot at the White House. -------------------- Shot, with what? Glaring looks? Desire? Regret? Don't tell me Obama's Sensitivity Squad unloaded a gun on him. Posted by: iforgot at May 20, 2016 04:45 PM (pC96u) 220
Anyone else here think that Cate Blanchett is very striking, looks-wise? For some reason her appearance is rather compelling to me.

"Ossuary" sounds like it should be the name of a large flightless bird.

No I think Cate is a 6 at her best, well-lit, with makeup. With a voice like a linebacker.

Ever since I saw her as Kate Hepburn in The Aviator, I've thought she had a lot of that same striking handsome quality. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at May 20, 2016 04:48 PM (IuHtL) 224
Can we build an ossuary like that in DC, maybe sometime in Trumps second term, out of all the leftist bureaucrats who have committed suicide ?

Best outcome of a Trump victory would be en masse resignations in Washington DC bureaucrats. That would be glorious and very beneficial to the nation, because they're the main problem and they never go away.
Republican, Democrat, it doesn't matter who the president is, they stay and stay for decades and are nearly impossible to get rid of. Hillary had to drum up that fake transportation office scandal to fire people and replace them with people that would look the other way when they misused public funds.

There is a NEW thread to the North of here, something about some lame-ass named Ben Rhodes...

I used to mock "Art History Majors" with the best of them, then I married one. She visits, researches, discusses these kinds of places all the time. It's not a bad life if you can afford it.

They probably lost the knowledge of how to move stuff. Plus there were religious changes and some of what they let get drowned were the gods they no longer held in great esteem.
Or were past pharoahs long dead. Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That at May 20, 2016 05:25 PM (Xo1Rt) 234
Seen that ossuary. It's in Kutna Hora, which at one time produced most of the silver mined in the Hapsburg Empire.

" Kind of morbid for a place or worship.
Posted by: steevy at May 20, 2016 03:35 PM (B48dK) " Western Europeans were obsessed with death in the Middle Ages. The Church taught that each man or woman was born to his or her station and the greatest good was to endure whatever condition you were born into with good grace because you would receive your reward in Heaven. (Sounds familiar, no? The big difference was that Midieval Christians did not seek out death or try to take as many infidels with them as possible.) It was basically a way to keep the peasants from revolting every couple of years or so. Also, churches were decorated as teaching aids since most of the population, including a lot of the nobility, was illiterate. At the time of the Great Plague, many people interpreted it not so much as a disease but a punishment from God for Mankind's many, many sins. Creating ossuaries such as the one shown was an object lesson in the wages of sin. It also cleared out the graveyards. I've read accounts of mass graves where the earth covering the bodies heaved and reeked because of so many bodies being buried there in such a short period of time.
