Nope! Not a post on the royal wedding thing….thought I would let that slide into the history books…..
Yes, the war of words is still being fought on the budget and its cuts even though the House has been on a break (seems like they are always on a break of some sort) ……but the problem is Rep. Ryan and his people are catch lots of grief in their town halls, especially when the Social Security and Medicare are mentioned when they try to explain what is in Ryan’s (actually the Heritage Foundation) budget proposals…..
“Come On!” (to quote Speaker Boehner)…….we keep hearing the same line over and over….and it comes from both sides…..”Just be honest with the American people”……..and every time I hear a politician use this term I get all flush and damn near have a stroke with laughter…….
There is NOTHING honest about Washington….
The newest thing that is being played out is the the Speaker of the House is all over Obama for NOT adopting any of the policies that the Deficit Commission recommended…..would that be the same report that the Repubs on the Commission would NOT vote for? But now it is important to bring up the fact that Obama did not act on the proposals….why would this be the game being played now?
Could it be that the GOP is desperate to change the subject from the Ryan Budget? They seem to be getting the crap beat out of them back home and desperately need the conversation to change ….but unfortunately for them (the GOP) the Dems will not change the subject and if anything are doing their level best to keep the subject of the elimination of Medicare and SS in the headlines and on the minds of seniors…after all seniors are the most active of ALL voters…….
Does not Boehner realize how transparent his attempt is? They will even go so far as to embrace a commission report that none of them voted for recently…..does it not appear a bit pathetic? Their desperation is almost hard to watch….I did say ALMOST!
So, it’s up to me to mention the royal wedding then? Well, I’d say there was one heck of a lot more honesty between that couple than your Washigton crowd can ever manage (just to stay on topic) 😆
However, although I’m not particularly in love with modern Britain, nor for that matter am I especially a royalist (though a constitutional monarchy like ours has one heck of a lot going for it – IMO), but you surely have to admit that Brits do pagentry and that sort of pomp better than pretty well anyone else in the world – but then we’ve been doing it longer than most – even Westminster Abbey (where the ceremony was held) goes back a thousand years or more (and it is a FABULOUS building in its own right regardless of its religious use).
PS: sorry you’ve been having such shit weather – aparently meterologists cannot explain it… how about global warming???
I just do not understand the American fascination for the royal stuff……maybe we had too much Princess Dairies or Snow White or ……..it is like the Bambi thing….it destroyed the hunting industry for almost a generation….we are a gullible race…..
Yeah shitty weather…the problem is that we on the Coast get very little rain…all we got was clouds, humidity and really shitty temps…..we have had 80 degree weather since March…way too early….global warming? When you can saddlke a dinosaur (sorry could not resist the sarcasm)
Maybe it’s because the American people (well a bunch of them at least) wish THEY had a monarchy and THAT’S because their own politicians and other dignitaries are so shitty that only a mother could love them (if she was deaf, dumb and blind, or very drunk at the time)?
Yeah, but it depends on the dinosaur – you produce it, I’ll saddle it… (maybe) 😆
It seems you may be right…there are those that are royal junkies and cannot get enough….
