Good morning Chairmman and ALL. Cooooollldddd here this morning. 38 degrees. Only supposed to get up to about 60. Sounds like whining, doesn't it? Well maybe it is. I just don't like cold weather.

BTW: This is "National Pork Month". Make of it what you will.

Somebody on here a couple of days ago had a great historical story about jihads and pigs. During the Phillipine insurrections prior to WWI, the Muslims on one of the islands(Mindanao?) declared a jihad against the American forces there. John Pershing rounded up the 22 ringleaders, and had 19 of them shot. The other three were released to warn others about messing with US troops: before shooting the leaders, each bullet was dipped in pig fat, and after their executions, the bodies were wrapped in pigskin. End of jihad.

And I can guarantee you that "Blackjack" didn't waste time consulting with JAG before ending the revolt.
