Wouldn't It Be Wonderful... If Our Very Own Congress And White House... Were The Untouchables ???

The Untouchables were a group of eleven U.S. federal law-enforcement agents, led by Eliot Ness, who, from 1929 to 1931, worked to end Al Capone's illegal activities by aggressively enforcing Prohibition and tax laws against Capone and his organization. In their conduct, they became legendary for being fearless and incorruptible, earning the nickname "Untouchables".

Ironic... The Troll's Tongue... Of Norway

Trolltunga, Norway Is The Scariest Instagram Spot On Earth
The Huffington Post | By Suzy Strutner

We've seen a lot of scary spots in Norway, but this is the hands-down scariest. It's called Trolltunga, and it's the edge of a cliff. Waaay back in the ice age, glacial water froze a hunk of this mountain and caused it to break off, leaving what locals call "the troll's tongue."

Crazy hikers make the four-hour trek to Trolltunga for the photo opp of a lifetime, on a ledge that hovers about 2,300 feet above the lake below.

MLK: "Yes, Sometimes I Feel Discouraged... And Feel My Work’s In Vain.,,,"



And I don’t mind telling you this morning that sometimes I feel discouraged. (All right) I felt discouraged in Chicago. As I move through Mississippi and Georgia and Alabama, I feel discouraged. (Yes, sir) Living every day under the threat of death, I feel discouraged sometimes. Living every day under extensive criticisms, even from Negroes, I feel discouraged sometimes. [applause] Yes, sometimes I feel discouraged and feel my work’s in vain. But then the holy spirit (Yes) revives my soul again. "There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole. There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul." God bless you.
