If England was what England seems,
'N not the England of our dreams;
But only putty, brass 'n paint,
'Ow quick we'd drop 'er.
But she ain't.
'Nuff said.
The future queen should never have been in such a condition on the verandah.
The mag should not have been taking the pictures.
It should not publish them.
The public should not buy the mag.
Public taste has come quite a long way.
And England's not ...only putty, brass 'n paint....
Be more careful, Dear Future Queen.
The low brows are at the gates.

FOR A YOUNGER READER
The Picoult book purchase mentioned in 16 August post was less than appropriate.
Dear Wife gave it away to a younger reader.
But she appreciated the effort.

SEPTEMBER IN MICHIGAN 2012.
Perfect weather…
Repair and construction projects are proceeding.
No travel plans at present as above are pursued.
The building of an herb garden and other garden projects provide physical exercise.
And there is time to observe and consider what is going on in the greater world.
As Dear Wife would say, one has to prioritize.
We take time this Sunday morn for a few comments.
Regarding msm:
Generally the most reliable – not totally – but generally - Fox News.
Generally the next most reliable – again, less generally but relatively - CNN.
Generally the least reliable, with very few exceptions - MSNBC.
The only recent change in the above relativities is the improvement of CNN.
MSNBC is generally without merit. Even the panel guests are frequently disgusting, even in appearance.
The Study does not generally monitor ABC or NBC or CBS on their non-cable outlets.
Sadly, news coverage on the cable outlets and non-cable news outlets leans heavily, as any reasonable persons knows, to advocacy rather than reporting.
We know this is not any great revelation.
Just felt like saying it.
The best exceptions to this are generally FOX and to a limited extent CNN.
The violence against the US of recent days is clear evidence of a weakened US presence in the world, directly attributable to the policies of the US Administration.
This is the only possible conclusion for any thinking lay person outside of any inner loop.
Presidential spokespeople deny this.
So much for their reliability.
They appear unbelievably foolish.
One can only hope for a resurgence of respect, not love, in the world for the US.
If a nation cannot be loved, it had better be respected.
If neither is the case, woe betide that nation’s interests.
