Weirdest Event of the Week.
The woman died after sticking her head out of the window on the train.
Guessing is that she was shooting a selfie out the window.
“woman killed on a train may have been leaning out of a window when she suffered a blow to the head, police have said.
She died after sustaining serious head injuries on a Bristol Temple Meads-bound service, between Bath and Keynsham, on Saturday evening.
“Our investigation remains at an early stage, but initial inquiries suggest the woman may have been leaning out of a window when she suffered a blow to the head.”
What a pathetic way to go.
For the last four days I have noted that there are very few pictures of Jeb Bush in the company of his father.
Yet over and over and over we see pics of George Dubya Bush with his father.
I did see one pic of Jeb but he was with Dubya, not with his Dad.
Be interesting to see the part Jeb plays in his father’s funeral.

So far it seems that there’s been pretty good behavior from the politicos involved with the funeral of George H.,W. Bush-41. This is includes the politicos from Bush 41, current politicos, heck some from the future.
Except for the girls on the View, somebody please make those nut jobs go away. Especially Joy Behar, with an IQ or maybe 2. Why are these idiots lecturing us every weekday?
Seems Behar was, instead of discussing Bush 41 as was the topic of the day, goes after President Trump and lectures us all on the environment and how important it is.
As you can see this has everything to do with Bush 41’s funeral.
Now I don’t especially like the McCain daughter but she was right to verbally slap Behar to stick to the topic.
I suspect that either Behar (I hope), or McCain will be gone from that show soon.
I was hoping that the holiday shopping would bring it back up to over 26000 but I now pray it will stay over 25000.
Got all my savings in the stock market. Sometimes you lose but I’ve gained my whole life.

Time for some gossip, odds and ends.
How about that former VP Joe Biden out and about and telling us all how he is the most qualified Democrat to run for President?
Please, dear Lord, this man is always pictured with his greedy hands all over any nearby female. He speaks with a profound stupidity, hell even the Democrats don’t like him.

Back when I was a young woman and looked very fat in a bathing suit (I still do but don’t wear a bathing suit any more), I screeched and squealed that the Miss America pageants should not have the contenders compete in bathing suits.
Lord but I was dumb.
First, it’s not just a woman thing. When they have male competitions, such as weight-lifting or showing us sweat-glistened muscles, they wear little short bathing type trunks.
Nobody complains about males in tiny bathing suits, least of all me.
Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America and sister of Fox’s Tucker Carlson, is now head of the Miss America pageant and it seems that Gretchen is the one pushing the elimination of the swimsuit competition in the Miss America pageant.
We do all have out least favorite pundits, hosts and general big-mouths.
I’ve got a couple but Geraldo Rivera needs to go, FOX PLEASE GET RID OF THIS GUY!!!!
He brings nothing to the table. He opened up Al Capone’s vaults to reveal nothing, he tells us illegal immigrants are good people to be welcomed into our country with open arms, he’s stupid and he’s dumb.
WHEW.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
It’s been almost non-stop coverage of the George H.W. Bush-(41) funeral.
Some random thoughts below on the matter but in summary let us acknowledge how much classier this funeral was than, say, John McCain’s.
McCain had everybody hating everybody. Bush 41 was a classier guy.
Random thoughts:
During the burial celebration in Texas, it was noted that
His grandsons are honorary pallbearers.
What does an honorary pallbearer do? I only noticed the soldiers carrying the casket, no Bush 41 grandchildren.
“He could barely stand,” Rush shouted.
What’s his point?
Bob Dole is 195 years old and somebody picked him up and held him from falling.
Just an odd thing to spend expensive radio air time on.
I remember it so well, how Bush 41 announced that he hates broccoli, that he’s never liked broccoli, that’s he’s president of the United States and he will damn well not likely broccoli if he wants.
All the following coupld of months the famous broccoli growers of America forced the man to apologize for his bad portrayal of broccoli.
It was son Dubya-43, who mention his father’s hatred of green vegetables, especially broccoli.
So it wasn’t just me being the only one in America that remembers the infamous broccoli.
What’s with putting the coffin on a train to take it to the Bush library?
Wouldn’t a hearse have been more convenient.
Finally, Dubya 43 mentioned in his eulogy that he spoke to his Dad on the night of his death. He professed, to his father, OVER THE TELEPHONE, that he loved him.
My question, WHY WASN’T DUBYA WITH HIS DAD INSTEAD OF JAMES BAKER OF ALL PEOPLE?
Seems odd to me.

President Trump appointed William Barr, formerly President George H.W. Bush’s AG, to replace Jeff Sessions at the Justice Department.
Heather Nuart has been appointed by Trump as Ambassador to the U.N. to replace Nikki Haley.
My knowledge of Nuart is when she was a reporter on the Fox News network.
Finally, rumors abound that General Kelly will soon be gone as Trump’s Chief of Staff.
One is Rehoboth Beach, which has a claim to fame, more on this later.
My current church, Saint Jude the Apostle, was once St. Edmonds substitute church.
St. Edmonds is now a small Catholic church in Rehoboth Beach. The community has learned that the town of Rehoboth Beach has commanded that St. Edmonds remove its nativity scene.
St. Edmonds has had this nativity scene for some twenty something years. It was the Anti-Defamation League which filed complaints about the nativity scene and the coward of Rehoboth Beach capitulated.
Hmmmmm.
Rehoboth Beach’s claim to fame is that is a well-known homosexual community.
Understand, it’s a gorgeous town, great location. And the homosexuals living in Rehoboth Beach are very wealthy and well-reared.
The Rehoboth town council asserts that St. Edmonds can put its nativity scene on its own property, that where it is at now is on town property.
Well hey, it’s been on town property for over twenty years now but until the ADL complained no one demanded it be moved.
And I am not asserting that Rehoboth’s reputation as a homosexual community had anything to do with the demand to move the nativity. Demand to remove nativity scenes are plentiful across the fruited plains.
Still, seems odd. And we do not like it at all down here in lower and slower Delaware.
…..so Kaitlyn beautiful granddaughter is 15 next week, is in ROTC for the marines, and guess what?
SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!
Well now who is surprised by this? She’s introduced the guy to her father and sent me pictures. He is 16, ALSO IN ROTC for the Marines, fixes her coffee every morning….
I had a boyfriend at that age, at that very school in fact. Married the guy when I was 19 also.
But Kaitlyn, goodness she’s just a baby!
She says she has told this new guy all about her crazy mother.
Poor kid. Tells me she’s not going to have children because of the craziness.
Believe me, and the gubmint will help. The gubmint will provide requested restraining orders even to save a dying dog. The gubmint will demand where Kaitlyn lives, how often to go to doctors……the crazies will live here rent free cause we get money from the Feds for mistreated females.
I gave Kaitlyn money for her bday. How much you want to bet she gives her money for gas? Munchaussen nut has no money and adolescent Kaitlyn is providing.
And I thought I had it bad.
BUT THANK THE GUBMINT!!!!!
Rehoboth Beach has another claim to fame in 2018. It is the location where 2-Door Ford, aka "Squeaky Christine" and her BFF, former FBI agent Brenda McLean, fabricated the sordid allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.
Funny, they've never lectured me.
That's pretty good!
