| I don't live too far from the house Michael Jackson was renting (about 2 miles) and it's been chaos in the neighbourhood since last week. Today there makeshift memorial is still there but it seems like the throngs of fans have moved to Encino surrounding the Jackson Family compound. |

| Media always doing that. When a well-known person died, there is a big noise about that. Everyone's crying, suddenly we hear, that everybody was his friend, everybody loved him so much - and what for is all that despair? When he was a need of their friendship, of their help,of their attention, they turned their back on him, they charged him with the worst things. Now he doesen't need their hypocritical tears and all that noise... and everybody's crying, everyone is his friend. A little late, don't You think? |

Since I've been camping in PEI all week and just returned late last night, I've not seen a word in print or media. But I'm not surprised.
However, Sarah Palin throwing the towel... now that raised my eyebrows. |

Welcome back. Trust you had a bonne vacance.
Palin quitting was in the cards. Sounds like a kick-back scandal is about to blow up in her face. Federal investigators have seized documents from a builder who won lucrative government construction contracts in Alaska, after building new home for Palin and reportedly supporting her in other (monetary) ways. Not to mention an unflattering article in Vanity Fair that probably cleaved her heart.

This morning the FBI and PAlin's lawyers both confirmed Palin is NOT under investigation for ANYTHING. They also gave a statement that if any one tries to post or print anything that says she is under investigation for any thing by the FBI they would be sued. Period.

No she is just tired of all the crap that is being printed off that are false or ethics probes that cost the person nothing to issue but it cost her MONEY that they don't have time to fart around with in court...15 ethics probes were done on her by Democrats in the last year that had a vendetta against her and all were thrown out but one that she paid in FULL for with her OWN money.
Would you like it if people were bringing ethics probes against you on your job against you that you knew were false and prove it in court but you had to pay for all those court visits and lawyers out of your own pocket...15 of them in one year....????

I wouldn't place myself in a position to deal with that, but EVERYONE who goes into Politics KNOWS that is part of the JOB...PERIOD. You have to be Informed and Prepared for all of the Harassment, accusations and aggravation...that's the Job.
That's all I'm saying...she ISN'T a POLITICIAN
She's quick to give others crap when she sees fit, but can't take it....
that's just a waste.
You know I'm not impressed with her, but that doesn't mean I don't respect your view... |

Thin skin. More proof she isn't fit to lead.

Camping in 15 deg C weather with rain most of the time... however, we did manage to take in all but 2 of our favourite activities. Had to give up kayaking in Malpeque Bay (the waves were too high) and we skipped going to Greenwich beach for a picnic. Ate dinner twice in our tent!!
However, Canada Day was great despite it being overcast... saw 3 bands, ate Cow's ice cream, had dinner on Peakes Quay as well as our usual lobster fest at Richard's in Covehead Harbor. Did much hiking in the Stanhope national park and a lot of beachcombing on Stanhope beach. Had fabulous luncheon at the Dunes in Brackley Beach and we saw Transformers II at Brackley Beach drivein (Star Trek was also on the bill but Sarah was getting tired.)
Took lots of photographs, had campfire cookouts (including the biggest scallops ever fresh from Covehead) when it didn't rain (thank heavens for that Coleman stove...), roasted marshmellows and explored the Delvay beach area. We rented a caravan but were upgraded to a Buick Enclave with 2600 free km. We brought it back 1 km over the limit!! 20c extra. The satellite XM was great during those radio neverlands from Trois Rivieres through to Moncton... llistened to a lot of comedy...
