AARGH I am 61 today, and the Pirates are looking at their 16th straight losing season. That's "losing" NOT "loosing". I taught English and Speech for 31 years and there is a difference between the two words.

Saran Palin looks better and better.

WOW

Well it is Sarah Palin, mother of five and governor of Alaska to be JM's VP. She is the essence of "Drill, Drill, Drill". Just what we need.

Bosworth Field

I started this blog a little late to commemorate the slaying of King Richard III at Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485 by the bastard usurper Henry Tudor. May G-d have mercy on the souls of those who fell so long ago on both sides. Read Josephine Tey's mystery "The Daughter of Time to learn some of the truth about this most maligned king.

To the left is the painting from the National Portrait Gallery, London which Tey mentions in her book.

Well, the Comolympics are over, so we should begin to look at politics. I don't like the idea but we SHOULD as one of the idiots will be the king for the next four years.
