Here, in the grip of the mostest changiest of global warmenisming, I wake to 19 degrees. Days like this I hearken back to the wise words of Drew Carey. I love Cleveland. The weather just terrible there - too cold. All we want to know in Cleveland is where the hell's all that global warming we've been hearing so much about. That's all they ever do in the winter, stand outside with an aerosol can. >ssst< That's right. Screw the grandkids. I'm cold now.

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.

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. http://tinyurl.com/zmoldrw Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at April 10, 2016 06:00 AM (vvmPQ) 4 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. http://tinyurl.com/zuko4dg Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at April 10, 2016 06:00 AM (vvmPQ) 5 The FBI is investigating commie DeBlasio's fundraising. http://tinyurl.com/hqs8r9a Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at April 10, 2016 06:01 AM (vvmPQ) 6 The Boston Globe Sunday front page will be an anti-Trump screed that would be more fitting on the Onion.

Posted by: The New Constantinople Times at April 10, 2016 06:14 AM (fBkyq) Actually the writeup I pulled that from said there were numerous muzzies and Jews (who supposedly helped the muzzies) were killed by rioters after this. Strangely there is no historical record of the Ottomans being deposed after this.

Don't look now but the Royals, who I'm pretty sure we're once again not picked to win the AL Central by the "smart people", are 3-1. They dropped one to Syndargard (who was at his normal unhittableness, heh) and the Mets. The Mets probably the best starting rotation in baseball.

They actually had the balls to sue Myrtle Beach because a lot of the local stores there simply closed up for the week and left town. I can not fathom why a judge allowed the case to even be filed.

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. "What Wondrous Love is This, O My Soul." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsVnvN3EVxY What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul - What wondrous love is this, O my soul? What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

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.

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.

Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at April 10, 2016 09:08 AM (9mTYi) 180 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.

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."

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 Just checkin'. Posted by: teej at April 10, 2016 09:14 AM (YtsCi) 186 VIA I agree.

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 Bellinomis from Parma Heights, Ohio Posted by: ThunderB at April 10, 2016 09:34 AM (zOTsN) 198 Ack.

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 As an alum, I am moved to possibly sending an extra gift to the university for not putting up with crap from these snowflakes. ----------------------------- Positive reinforcement!
