Editorial Comment: "Spring Thaw Central"

We don't like being last!  We don't even like being second place!  We want to be #1 in everything we do!

That's why I pulled our staff together yesterday to discuss our coverage of recent winter storms and especially this past week's blizzard.  Another online "news" outfit has layed claim to the title of  "Snow Central" ..... and ya know what?  Maybe they are right!  Maybe we didn't put forth enough effort to claim that mantle!  Afterall, we didn't recommend the best snow route to Berger, we didn't cover school closings with a posting for each and every school in the area, and we didn't organize a cadre of young snow shovelers and then dispatch them as a public service to clean the driveways and walkways of the elderly.  In too many ways, we were remiss in our duty to cover our recent snow events.

However, we have now taken stock of our shortcomings.  We have discussed all the things we could have done .... and should have done.  We have searched our souls and resolved to do better in the future.

My staff members and I have resolved that we want to become known as "Spring Thaw Central" here at Hermann Hearsay.  In the pursuit of that lofty objective, we have put together a comprehensive 
action plan.  We have decided to split up responsibilities as follows;

Jimmy Oldsun - Announcements, shameless self-promotion and overall coordination of the program.
Lois Lame - Organizing and dispatching young people to wash the cinders and salt off the vehicles of Hermann's senior citizens.
Dick Schaefer - Organizing and dispatching unemployed volunteers to sweep and wash the driveways and walkways of Hermann's senior citizens.  What is Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore doing for our unemployed?!
Frank Furter - Weather reporting, flood patrol, high-water reporting and road advisories (including an advisory on the safest route to Berger during heavy flood conditions). 
Clark Kant - Special reports regarding the availability of bird feeders, garden tools, spring flowers, lawn fertilizers and lawn mowers at Hermann's stores.

Hermann Hearsay is indeed "Spring Thaw Central"!

"Today Al Gore blamed the current snow storms on global warming. Al Gore said, 'a rise in global temperature creates havoc ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, increasing violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.' And finally Tipper said, 'Al will you just pay the kid for shoveling the walk, please.'"  ~ Jay Leno (2/2/2011)

"We shall continue to work for a Middle East that is free of strife and violence, living in harmony without the threat of terrorism or the dangers of weapons of mass destruction."  ~ Hosni Mubarak, President of Egypt

Commentary:
Mubarak was a friend and ally of the United States of America for three decades.  Too bad he didn't concern himself with government reforms that would have increased the liberties and prosperity of the Egyptian people.  Too bad our own government was unable to persuade him institute democratic reforms which the Egyptian people are now demanding.

The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. – Genesis 3:21

When Adam and Eve fell in their rebellion to God, they knew that they were naked and covered themselves with figs. Since that time we constantly try to cover our lives in our own ways. But this is not sufficient. Notice that God provided the clothing that they needed for a fallen earth, but it came at a cost. The garments of skins imply that death occurred to cover the weakness of Adam and Eve. This is the first foreshadowing of the death that would cover the rebellion of mankind, when Jesus Christ gave Himself on the cross for us. God’s grace has been here since the beginning.

One of the best early-'60s New York girl groups, combining sassiness and innocence on several of the style's greatest classics. The Chiffons had some singles under their belt when they reached number one with "He's So Fine," whose classic "doo-lang, doo-lang" riff was appropriated by George Harrison in 1970 for his own chart-topper, "My Sweet Lord" (Harrison was subsequently ordered to pay substantial damages to the original publishers, though he always claimed the resemblance was unintentional). Their follow-up, Goffin-King's "One Fine Day," was just as good, featuring killer piano riffs from King herself. Actually cut as a Little Eva track, the Chiffons' vocal was substituted, resulting in a Top Five hit. There were a couple other memorable hits -- "I Have a Boyfriend" and the Motown-influenced "Sweet Talkin' Guy" -- and interesting misfires like the Martha & the Vandellas-inspired "The Real Thing," as well as some singles issued under an alter ego, the Four Pennies. The group recorded quite a bit of material during the '60s.

Here are The Chiffons singing "He's So Fine" .....

In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. – Isaiah 19:19-20

With all of the turmoil that Egypt is facing, we need to pray for our brothers and sisters there. God was faithful to send them a Savior, and He is working His purpose in Egypt today. May Jesus be exalted in the midst of this crisis. May there be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt. Don’t let news reports be the only influence of your view of what is happening in Egypt. Pray for Egypt today!

Dear "Ralphie Boy" a.k.a. "Joe Citizen" a.k.a. "Little Joey" a.k.a. "Madman" a.k.a. "A. Nonymous" or whoever you really are:

We are in receipt of your most recent vitriolic and threatening communique.  We find it to be a boorish 
repetition of your angry, malicious, unsubstantiated, unproven accusations against an honest man in our community who carries more integrity in his little toe than you carry in your big fat skull.

You have sent us a total of eight (8) such comments now.  None of them have been fit to publish.  Why you think Hermann Hearsay will publish your lies, half-truths and innuendos without persuasive corroborating evidence is beyond my ability to comprehend!

Give it up, "Ralphie Boy"!  Take your lies, half-truths and innuendos elsewhere.  We are not interested in the obsessive-compulsive rantings of a lunatic!  Your comment(s) will not be published here.  We are ignoring you and your false accusations completely.  Maybe you can get your buddy "Ed Norton" to send us the next comment!

Normally we post a quote by a "famous" person in this daily 
spot.  Today we are posting many quotes by ordinary citizens of Cairo, Egypt.  These quotes were gathered by the Reuters news organization and posted on the Reuters website this morning.  I think the quotes give us a feel for the range of opinions regarding the protests in Cairo as expressed by the "protesters" and by "ordinary Egytians".

CAIRO

Fri Feb 4, 2011 9:33am EST

CAIRO (Reuters) - Protesters massed in Cairo's Tahrir Square Friday calling on Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak to quit, while others were desperate for protests to end.

Here are quotes from both sides, starting with protesters, as well as from other parts of the country.

* Denotes new quotes.

CHANTS IN TAHRIR AFTER FRIDAY PRAYERS

"The people want the fall of the regime"

"Leave, leave, leave"; "Join us, join us"

"We want the murderer to be tried"

"The army and people are united"

AHMED KHIDR, 27, MOBILE PHONE SHOP OWNER AND PROTESTER

"Why should we go now? I'll be a fool to leave after all this murder and this sabotage. I have been in Tahrir for four days. I don't understand, why doesn't he get, he needs to go.

"We don't want ElBaradei either, and I don't want the Muslim Brotherhood but I want a transitional government that will give us time to prepare for a truly free and fair election. If Mubarak loves Egypt, he should go."

ABDEL HALIM MOHAMED ALI, 62, TECHNICAL SCHOOL TEACHER AND SUPPORTER OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

"I will not wash, and I will not take my medicine until he leaves. We need freedom, all freedoms. Omar Suleiman is good as long as he leads a temporary government. We welcome anyone who leads a temporary government even (Coptic) Pope Shenouda."

METWALY FARGHALI, 32, PROTESTER

"We are not going to leave the square. We want the army on our side but the army must realize the people's revolution is here to stay."

Bible Verse Of The Day - Friday, 2/4/2011

The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. – 1 Timothy 1:5-7

Just because someone speaks confidently doesn’t mean that what they are saying is Scriptural true. Paul is warning Timothy to watch out for this danger, which is as real today as it was back then. In a day of sound bites, it is every believer’s responsibility to not allow personality to cloud the reality of the Bible. This is not to become mean spirited critics ourselves. Our goal is that the faith would be known for a lifestyle of purity, no hidden agendas, and what is truly and deeply felt. When this happens we see God’s love exhibited.
