There’s national, international, pop culture and the sorts of things one won’t find on CBS. Such as garden highlights, Kaitlyn Grows and Personal Favorites. Only a snippet to quote the Blog entry at the time. With a link should yon reader want to delve into more prose on the matter.
An American Hero Dies on the Battlefield
Matt Tillman was a football player, Kaitlyn. Now I don't even like football and before this past week I never heard of Matt Tillman. I have learned that he was a young man of tender years, the same age as your mother as I write this, Kaitlyn. Matt Tillman is now dead, died at age 26 from wounds received during fighting in Afghanistan.

Power Handed Over to Iraq
Good Luck, Iraq
On this date, Kaitlyn Mae, at the ungodly hour of 2 am in the morning and that's Iraq time, the Coalition Provisional Authority turned over the running of that country to its own people.

The United Nations 'Food For Oil' Theft
It was around 1996 or so that the UN came up with this grand idea which grandmother, Kaitlyn, then a soccer Mom herself dealing with your mother but again, we won't go there. The notion was that the world would ease up on those sanctions for Saddamn in order to allow Iraq to import food and medicine for Saddamn's people. Now why someone didn't just put a quick bullet through this guy's head instead of wasting ten years negotiating with a thug and a thief as if he were worth the time, well I just don't know. So the UN agreed to monitor the program that Saddamn does not abuse it. It was win-win, or so went the hype, in that Saddamn didn't gain but the Iraqi people did. My own soccer Mom sensibilities thought it a good idea at the time.

The Olympics 2004
America was not only NOT booed, Kaitlyn Mae, two new democratic countries were in that parade of nations; countries that wouldn't be there were if not for the United States of America. I speak of Afghanistan and Iraq. No wait, Kaitlyn, grandmother distinctly remembers Iraq had two athletes during the Salt Lake City Olympics. Only Uday Hussein was then in charge of the athletes and this kind fellow, now very dead, used to throw the athletes off a bridge should they not perform well.

Arafat Dies Several Times
Yassar Arafat is dying, Kaitlyn, as Grandmother journaled in an earlier missive. Which not unwelcome event causes Grandmother to hope that someday Kaitlyn will read in her historybooks that Yassar Arafat was a murderous terrorist who stole charity money and fooled the world for decades.

Fallujah
...ok, anyone could have predicted Fallujah would remain in the news. But hey, there's a whole bunch of people SHOCKED I tell you, that a soldier would actually shoot an enemy combatant.

The Ukraine
The Biggest Story This Week Nobody Knows About
...Has got to be the election fiasco in the Ukraine. Which The Wise I has studied via various media and still struggles to grasp it all.
Let's shorten it to a synopsis for catch up. A candidate for President, YV, is buddies with Russian premier Putin. His opposition candidate, YS, is considered, wrongly perhaps, to be pro-western, pro-NATO, pro-EU.
