Fireworks and Missile Launches

Today's brew: Starbucks French Roast. It's still raining here. The morning began as if it was a Monday - the sound of thunder announcing approaching rain shower when I awoke at 5:oo. I ran out into the front yard in my nightgown to fetch the newspapers before the rain started. After a couple of mugs of coffee, hubby proceeds out to the driveway to head out for work. His battery is dead. He drags son out to watch, in the rain, as he puts the charger on the battery. Then, to frost the cake, locks the keys in the car as it is charging. His car does this self-locking thing when you close the door sometimes. The mad scramble to find the extra set of his car keys ensues. All this while son is antsy to get going and not be late for his class. And the rain continues. Hubby's car charged up and extra keys were found and son got to class at 8:00 sharp. All is well.

It's still raining.

The celebration of our Independence Day yesterday may have been taken a little too far with the launching of missiles by the wild and crazy Kim Jong-Il. The long range missile that is suppose to take out Alaska or California was a dud but apparently some of the short range scuds made the Japanese and Russians soil their collective britches. More are scheduled to launch today. That wacky guy with the unruly hair and a penchant for jumpsuits is like a spoiled child demanding attention. Be careful what you wish for, Kim baby.

The fun part is Madeleine Albright - not so bright- on the Larry King Show criticizing the Bush administration's diplomacy with N. Korea. What a joke she is. She is the reason we are in the situation we are in today. Her brilliant powers of diplomacy with this government consisted of an intense 2 day conference during the 55th anniversary of the Communist Party in North Korea and culminated with a champagne toast during the parade honoring the anniversary. She thought she could trust the little madman. She was an idiot then and is an idiot now. She and her ilk were the first to criticize our administration for not being able to get a broader international coalition for the Iraq war and now screams for unilateral diplomacy for North Korea. Again, it was her party with Kim Jong-Il in October 2002 that got us where we are today. Trusting mad commies? Not so bright. Her and Larry King are quite the stimulating intellectuals. The rest of the bi-partisan panel were very deliberate to state it is not the fault of President Bush that Kim Jong-Il is nuts. A nut with nuclear capibility? Albright's administration's fault.

Now that the countries involved with multi-lateral diplomacy with North Korea are calling for a U.N. resolution and possible military action, we'll get to see yet again how ineffective this building of blue hats is on the world stage.

Time to watch that South Park movie again with the Kim Jong-Il character singing "I'm So Ronely". Too funny.

Did I mention it's raining?

It looks like it wants to rain here as well. My little weather thingy on the desktop keeps blinking from green (for ok) to red (for warning). Apparently there is a flash flood watch for our area as one to three inches is expected overnight. Hmm. This might mean another night inside for Max. He will be pleased.

Next Wednesday..... Max gets his summer hairdo!!!!!
