[blogfocus wednesday] strange but possibly true

1. Would you entitle your post:

Res Op Mandate training minutes 121107

and just show the pic above?

2. The Rev. Dr. Incitatus remembers the celestial aspects of travelling to St. Louis:

I remember weaving between tornadoes down I-55 from Michigan to Missouri, one evening, when I looked to the west and saw Heaven and Hell. Hell looked prettier than Heaven, as I remember it. Maybe there's a metaphor in that?

It was a beautiful thing, either way, and I pulled over to ponder it for a moment. But then the hail caught up and proceeded to chase me all the way to St. Louis. Perhaps there's a metaphor in that, too?

There was a moral behind this post, but it escapes me at present.

3. Rob, at The Broadsheet Rag, ran into a frightening phenomenon:

I’ve started a new job recently, down Westminster way. Anyway I was out on my daily wander around Victoria — when I got a shock.

Hazel Blears was walking straight at me. I’ve always had a thing for Blears. I’ve always felt there was something wrong with her. No, not that she’s a Labour MP. That she looks odd — she smiles too much.

So, she was walking towards me and I noticed something. She didn’t move her head it stayed perfectly still — it seemed almost artificial. And that smile of hers didn’t even flinch. It was almost demonic.

There can be only one explanation for this. Hazel Blears is a robot from outer space.

4. Dave Hill has a sticky problem just now:

My littlest daughter came home from a school trip with this one - not the cuppa, that's mine - the other week. I've never really gone for toffee apples. My daughter's one reminded me why. They're hard to unwrap, hard to eat, bloody hard work all round. You'd think after more than a century someone else might have worked that out too..
