World’s oldest nun turns 113
That is an old nun. Followed a link from Citizen Free Press. Speaking of which, did you see the link a few days ago about the FBI’s file on Bigfoot? It wasn’t terribly interesting (not one of my passions, bigfoot), but it linked to something called the FBI Reading Room.
It’s real – it’s an fbi.gov URL – and it’s supposedly stuff that has been released under the FOIA program. Holy poop – if you don’t find something in there that interests you, you’re dead to the world!
Ooo…I got as far as Al Gore Sr. before I had to stop for a look. So far, it’s J. Edgar Hoover being palsy with him.
As corrupt as they come. His favorite method of bribe-taking was a cattle auction on his farm (near unto where I grew up). All these shady characters would line up to pay thousands for a cow worth hundreds. My dad, who was in government in a small way, always boasted, “I never bought the cow!”

Oh, my! FBI’s FOIA vault! That index sure is enticing but the few subjects I glanced at suggests that the primary criterion for library/vault inclusion is everything must have redactions just when things MIGHT get interesting!

Yesterday’s Cow Deal = Today’s Book Deal OR Today’s Primary Color Fine Art Painting
At some point, the pattern ought to become obvious to the citizen/voter.

So is being famous for being the world’s oldest nun different than being famous for being the oldest person in the world? Asking for a friend.

Don’t even think about it, Pups.

Did you hear about these nuns? They were promised they could spend their life in the castle, but they were stuck in a nursing home.

The dyed hair bothers me.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
