The heat just keeps on rolling in… although it’s supposed to be slightly moderated today.
However… we’re back in more or less drought mode…gardens and grass begin to wilt – and we get closer to ‘firecracker day’ – be carful with the squibs.
We apparently have a game of “Dodge Em’s” going on in Capitol Hills environs. This week I believe the House has gone home even though it was not on their schedule. They were just piqued the Senate was going to take some days off so they elected apparently decided not to be out “Vacated” – and now they have terrible ‘Searchlite’ Harry on their backs… saying if you’re not here… then we’re not going to be here…
And the President gets to opine that “somebody needs to be watchin’ the store and be on the job passing these bills that are *important* -- he says all this having played two rounds of golf last weekend… and then gets upset because the Senate or the House or somebody was missing. He should have looked in the mirror – it was him.
And I’ve heard he’s managed to find 29 government reasons to be traveling out of the Capital so he can write off the trip as ‘government business’ – and his campaign has to pay for a much smaller portion of the AF-one bill not to mention the other security detail that involves planes and hauling other vehicles out of the Capitol etc. etc.
If we really want to cut back fossil fuel consumption – fly the President around in a cheaper to operate plane – especially on campaign trips – and charge the party for all of the expenses to make a political trip.
Ah well… ‘tis a difficult row to hoe – trying to keep things straight. Does it seem to you like the President is getting greyer around the temples? My wife has called that to my attention several times in recent days. I don’t know what’s to be done about it?
Cordially, IN HIM

First trial, his lawyers keep him off the stand – he gets a hung jury on every count except one. Second trial – “common in movies, rare in real life” – convinces his defense attorneys to put him on the stand. -- Simon quotes a
Tapes revealed ‘Blago’ holding back $8 million in state funding to the state’s largest children’s hospital unless he gets $50 thousand dollars in a campaign contribution. Lawyers, shrug it off -- “Chicago Style.” Now looks like Blago may get to sample “Prison Style.”
