Sounds 6000 Years Old

The languages of Europe, India and Central Asia are mostly descended from the Proto-Indo-European language spoken 6,000 years ago. Sounds 6000 Years Old

Scholars have been trying to figure out what it sounded like and think they have come close.

Here is the parable of the sheep and the horse as it might have sounded in 4,000 B.C. with the translation below it.

A sheep that had no wool saw horses, one of them pulling a heavy wagon, one carrying a big load, and one carrying a man quickly. The sheep said to the horses: “My heart pains me, seeing a man driving horses.” The horses said: “Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this: a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool.” Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.

Pa Liquor Importation Ban Battled

Tri State Liquor Pa Liquor Importation Ban Battled
Shame upon shame if you know where this is. Rumor has it that the deals are better here than at the more yuppified Total Wine.

Pennsylvania State Rep. Joe Hackett (R-161) and Sen. Dominic Pileggi (R-9) have introduced bills that would end the penalty for bringing into the Keystone State liquor, wine and beer purchased elsewhere.

The law now provides for fines of $25 per bottle, cost of prosecution and 90 days in jail.

Both men represent constituencies on or very near the Delaware border and we suspect many, if not most, of their constituents know the address of Total Wine and Tri-State Liquors.

Pileggi notes that  attempt is not connected to the attempts to de-communize the Commonwealth’s liquor distribution system — which he describes as facing a “fundamental disagreement” in the legislature — and expects it to pass.

Still, Wendell Young IV, the well-paid head  of United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1776 who inherited his $292,765 job from his father, Wendell Young III, has come out against it so don’t expect a slam dunk.

Local 1776’s fiefdom includes the proles in the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board distribution system.

Obama Christianity Debate

Obama Christianity Debate
President Obama and the mysterious Mark of Dubya that appears on his forehead when stressed

Propagandists masquerading a journalists threw a gotcha question at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential GOP presidential nominee.

“Is President Obama a Christian,” he was asked?

“I don’t know,” the Governor said.

Reader Tom Coniglia points out that according to the Bible you judge the tree by the fruit it bears.

While a profession of the divinity of Jesus Christ is not, nor should it ever be, a requirement for the presidency or any public office, there should be an expectation that one is honest about where one is coming from.

Biden 2015.

Say what you want about Joe, you know where he’s coming from albeit he may not be as certain at times.
