Father's Day.

I hope all the fathers out there reading this had a good day.

My lead story tonight is my car.   It has been going alright for the last few days, and I got to church alright this morning, but it didn't start when it was time to go home.   SIGH....I will ring Terry first thing in the morning, but am thinking it is probably time to check myself into a little room in a smelly retirement home, where they bring me my meals, and hand out my daily dose of Propanolol.    What kind of resident shall I be, I ask myself.   Shall I be demanding and obstreperous, that none of the staff wants anything to do with.   Or shall I be a sweet, little old lady, radiating sunshine and kindness.  I'll have to think on that. 

I wish I could tell these morons what I think of them.   They just don't get it.  Someone should tell them our monarchs only abdicate when they want to marry American socialites, age will never be a good enough reason.   I think they see other European monarchs who seem to go into retirement, and hand over to the next generation and can't understand why she is still there at 85.  If she became too incompetent to rule, like poor, daft George III, a Regent will be appointed, but she will be Queen until the day she dies.   Send them a memo someone.

The last I heard the extremists were within 60 miles of Baghdad, and Obama is reviewing his options!!

There is a lot that Obama is very good at, but  foreign policy is not one of them.   A much better person to be steering the boat right now is someone like John McCain.

The news on the deserter is that a two star general has been appointed to look after him, and find out why he walked off the base, and what happened to him.    Call me old fashioned, but why can't a two star general haul him into his office, and ask.

Putting aside my snarky comments, and wild theories about working as a double agent, ultimately receiving a Purple Heart, it has occurred to me that someone dropped the ball when he was discharged from the Coast Guard because of psychiatric problems, then sent to Afghanistan.  And I wonder if that is the problem the administration is looking into.
