Took some time away from this, just enjoying the holidays.
A lot has happened – death of 2 presidents (one of natural causes, the other of causes of his own doing), death of the Godfather of Soul, a new mayor & 2 new council members, new majorities in House & Senate in DC, a new year.
Mob scene (shown via cell phone video) at Saddam hanging did the impossible – they actually made this despicable bastard look good and made me wonder if this is the best this supposed government (that we are spilling the blood of our young to establish) could do. I guess it could have been worse, given the level of “civilization” we’ve seen on display for the last 3 years, they could have decided on death by stoning.
Sorry to see President Ford go – nice guy who did some hard things and with the passage of time, some wise things. Some facts you may or may not know about Ford:
Authorized the establishment of ATM’s and variable rate mortgages.
Authorized women in the armed forces.
Authorized the use of the White House for daughter Susan’s high school prom.
Liked James Brown music, but could do without some of his personal battles with loved ones.
I wish the new Keyport mayor well.
To the new council members – good luck and make sure your votes are based on your feelings, not somebody else’s instructions. Try to have some fun too.
