IS SUMMER HERE YET?

OUR CATALPA TREE IN FULL BLOOM

It is 6:40 a.m. and 55.6 degrees F. here in the Wabash River Valley. Patrick is curled up on his Afghan at my feet. Junior has gone to work.

Junior dug out the fire pit yesterday, and bought some tiki torches for Camp Serenity, and we had our first bonfire last nite to inaugurate the summer party season.

I have to stay at home this morning, expecting a delivery of Coors Light from City Beverage in Huntington.

Listen to this:

“It’s like the American people are waiting for [the GOP]. They’re waiting for us to remember why we’re doing what we’re doing, about the ideas that inspired us, to remember who the leaders were that inspired us.” —Fred Thompson

This guy is our only hope, Obi-wan!

Now that we are tapped back into satellite TV, we've been surfing to see just what we got.

Yesterday, Fox News and MSNBC had about six hours of non-stop coverage of Paris Hilton's return to jail. At one time, CNN and Headline news joined in with live helicopter coverage of the police cruiser transporting her to the courthouse--shades of Oh-Jay!!

I don't know why America has crowned this ugly skinny little bitch as our Princess. It's beyond me. (The only "talent" she possess that we know of is runway model posing for cameras and thumbing her nose at authority) And why, other than money, would the Sheriff of LA County treat her like royalty, letting her go home and wanting her to phone in her court appearance? This guy has a lot to answer for.

And as for rich awomen celebs getting special priveleges in the court system ,or society in general for that matter, what's the big deal--why is the MSM so surprised -- this is nothing new, folks. RHIP--always has, always will...

go gators! Billy's Back!!!
