Doubting Thomas on A lethargic appeal in light of the Mary Glasspool thing: Fr. Matt- the bitterness in your post is regretable although understandable under your circumstances. As to friends, colleagues or family in TEC dioceses with CP…
Matt Kennedy on A lethargic appeal in light of the Mary Glasspool thing: Hi Pageantmaster: I linked the Communion Partner Bishops as gullible…really. I did not link “individuals” I linked an organization. It is indeed a rather gullible…
Bottom Feeder on A lethargic appeal in light of the Mary Glasspool thing: I’m still “in” and do not consider TEC reformable.  I am simply charged with remaining, until the last boat goes. I agree with Pageantmaster, and…
Positive Phototaxis on [Off Topic & Political To Boot] 1994 and 2010: Are we in for a Republican Revolution rerun?: The possibility certainly exists. In fact, Democratic voters are more dispirited and the economic environment is significantly worse. The missing piece of the puzzle is…
DavidSh on Breaking: Bishops Give Consent to the Election of Mary Glasspool (Updated): To add to what Keith wrote, I also prayed for signs, and recieved them, in the same way he did. Funny, but I think the…
The Lakeland Two on UK New Diversity Guidelines Bann Police From Asking For Christian Names: While I get the point, how’s about asking for first, middle and last name? Or the full name on your official identification? Off to the…

God bless Finland!

I have finally reached my plateau

I think we can declare victory at this point.

Problem is, I can’t decide if that’s a good thing.

Do they do Free Bird?

Thanks, made my day.

With those suits, if they can get their hair inside a rainbow oven mitt, we could make them bishops.

These guys are great!  We need to get them next year for the Maundy Thursday service at Virginia Theological Seminary.

Best cover ever of “Sweet Home Alabama,” and sweeter than Lynyrd Skynyrd’s reconciliation with Mr. Neil Young. Wherever Ronnie Van Zant is in the afterlife, I hope he is granted the pleasure of seeing this.

<a/ href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Balalaika_Show>Total Balalaika Show</a>  Another great cultural event I new nothing about. I’ll have to rent the DVD.
(And then even wear yellow banana suits, too? cool hmm)

Love the hair! Is total groovy, komrade!

I’ve never heard of these guys, but I can only conclude that Spinal Tap has a new gig.

Awesome!

What a great video!  I’m a sucker for balalaika music, so I really enjoyed a few of their other videos.  I even found a theme song for the PB lurking here

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen so many wireless microphones in use at once—the whole mass choir. The soundboard for this group must be massive, and possibly custom-built. I don’t know that you can buy a soundboard that big. Truly impressive production.

Well that’s it.  I’m hooked.
  Why haven’t I heard of punk polka before this?

I hope there is a DVD.  Can’t you see Nikita Khruschev banging his shoe?  Thanks!

Just what is it I am supposed to see?
