Question: What do you get when a COB doesn't start the ONT until barely an hour before it's due to be posted?
Answer: See title
Sorry folks, the new promotion at work has been kicking my ass this week, trying to get two offices and a team of about 20 people up and running all by my lonesome. I wasn't able to spend the usual amount of time on the ONT, so this one is going to rely more on links and less on my content. To my chagrin I bet y'all are cheering right now. Lets start with reasons that there are professional photographers: 30 Times Kids Couldn’t Care Less About a Pinterest-Perfect Picture
Aaaand I just had to put out work fires for 30 minutes. You're lucky I don't have to end the ONT here. Moving on:
I'm of two minds here. No, I can't condone a grown man charging onto a school bus and slapping a kid. OTOH, the abuse that his step-daughter was getting from this kid probably has roots in a society with such a high out of wedlock birthrate. Dads not only teach their daughters to respect themselves, but they also serve as a reminder to young males that there is an older and (presumably) meaner male behind the women that they are interested in, and that it would behoove them to keep that in mind when dealing with the young lady. For about half of America now, that can not be presumed to be the case, and we're all poorer for it, individually and as a society.
If you're yelling “Fire in the Hole!” when you toss your laundy into the drier, it's time to admit that you may have a problem.
What It's Like To Be An AoS COB on the ONT
I was going to edit out the first 15 seconds, but had no time. NSFW. Notice the one guy who doesn't stand. That's Dick.
Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day was last week. How accurate is Punxsutawney Phil (when he's not being killed by the mayor of NYC)? 39% That's.....not good. But wait! How accurate is the “settled science” of global warming models? <5% Time for a second look at rodents?
Missionaries
Interesting to see that there are missionaries to the United States. Bill Whittle has vouched for these folks, so they're legit (I trust Bill). I know that's a link to a gofundme page, but the video on the page is very interesting, giving the perspective of people who emigrated to the US from Russia to escape religious persecution. As secular as the US has become, it's still a beacon of religious liberty.
It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop...EVER
Watch the one with wheels that can jump. The clip starts at about 4:00. If that thing chasing you wouldn't make you wet your pants, I don't know what would.
