I turned on the TV to see some news, and saw that Lois Lerner took the 5th-again, and repeatedly, some mobster-why isn’t she being held in contempt, right now, today? Can that be done?

Husky girl is doing Lent, too-she’s begging for bits of egg from my tuna salad...

That’s 20 minutes from my house, and I can tell you one thing...Do not EVER EVER try to get gas there at 5:45 AM in a effing blizzard, while Garrman ‘recalculates’ you in circles for an hour.

They will have thos kids going from 7 AM until 10:30 PM every day. I’m glad this conference is for the young. I’d never endure such a schedule. Perhaps that is why parents aren’t allowed! At this very momen he’s ina “National Security Action Meeting”, whatever that is!

It includes a National Security Strategy Lesson, Stage III and a panel discussion.

I thought you all would like to know that our National Security Strategy is in the hands of a bunch of high schoolers! Feel better now?

Next Thursday. He’s going right from spring break in ft lauderdale to that interview and then will fly home from there for a few days before going back to Syracuse. I LOLed at the thought of someone other than us paying his travel expenses hotel- still feels like I’m cleaning his behind half the time.

Tell him NO TEXTING during his interview and to use his napkin and the right fork during lunch. And never order the most expensive thing on the menu.

I’m sure that he is, but it is one of the biggest complaints of hiring managers with the millenials that they are rude with their electronics. Furthermore, they can’t fill out an application in complete sentences — they can’t write in fragments longer than a Tweet! LOL.

During my upcoming superannuated period, among other things I'll be able to pursue andante activities, and should finally have the time to look at all those unread Peanuts comics ...

Obama, Kerry, and the dems think traditional values -- especially concerning a strong military -- are superannuated

Their idea of military morale would be funny if it weren't so close to that of a Monty Python sketch.

Pretty soon, there will be nothing to satirize. The truth is satire enough.
