NATIONAL
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR 2004


The Infamous 9/11 Commission Begins

As I write this, Kaitlyn, the infamous "9-11 commission" is conducting hearings on Capital Hill.

Let me state right here, Kaitlyn Mae, that your grandmother believes the wise and industrious study of the events leading up to that day are noble pursuits. Though on this date and time, Kaitlyn, the 9-11 commission was started for, and being conducted with, nothing but political intentions. I argue my sweet grandchild, that it is YOU who will benefit the most from this circus of an "investigation".

Ronald Reagan Dies

Yesterday, June 5, 2004, former President Ronald Reagan, died. The man had been cursed with Alzenheimers for the past ten years and frankly, between you and I, signs of this troublesome disease were abundant even when he was the President.

But to say such a thing is to be cursed on this day of reminisces and fond memories.

They say he was a great President, the "they" being mostly Republicans as the mean-spirited Democrats put up a fight when the vote was up to name Ronald Reagan airport after the man.

It is time for grandmother to weigh in on this President. For now, as grandmother writes this missive, I am of a conservative ideology and hope that someday you will be as well. Don't be coming home with no liberal stupidity, Kaitlyn, or grandmother will beat your behind. At least figuratively.

9/11 Commission Published

The 9/11 Commission Report-a Holy Day

Sweet Kaitlyn Mae, in the day and era that you may read this, I beg of you to run, do not walk,from any suggestion by the congress of your day that they form a commission and study the problem.

The Democratic National Convention

Oh Those Wacky Democrats!

I debated myself mentally and very long and hard whether to bother with this missive about the 2004 Democratic convention in this year of our Lord, Kaitlyn Mae. Finally myself won and I decided, hey, thirty years from now when Kaitlyn Mae might read this my details might be funnier and more interesting than the history books of her era. At least this is how grandmother sees it, Kaitlyn.

The Swift Boat Vets

The Swift Boat Vets

Someday, Kaitlyn, there may be listed a President Kerry in your history books. If so you may likely be speaking Arabic and wearing a Burqua.

Allow Grandmother to document the current rage about the Swift Boat Veteran controversy as it burns on this date. I shall try, too, to explain the depth of pain and betrayal I feel by the revelations hitting my ears this week. That pain, Kaitlyn, comes to Grandmother on a most personal level.

There is an entire and thoughtful entry on the effect of the Vietnam war on Grandmother's life earlier in this tome to you (see entry titled 4/20/04 titled "Vietnam").

Election 2004 Countdown Begins

It has begun, Kaitlyn. I refer to the countdown to 11/2/04 when the fate of our country, and your future I may add, will be decided. Will you be wearing burquas in your future and be stripped of all individuality, pride and courage? Or will you live and thrive in a great America as it has always been? For if John Kerry is elected it will be choice 1. If George W. Bush is elected then you will be able to read this missive. John Kerry, Kaitlyn, does not like any printed
words that offend him. If he wins, Grandmother's tome to you will likely be removed from the conscious world.

The Republican National Convention

Last night opened the Republican National convention, Kaitlyn Mae, and so far the protesters haven't done too much damage. Though there were a couple of incidents, one involving a Kerry supporter who knocked a cop off of his motorcycle causing "serious" injuries. None of this happened at the Democratic National convention, whose participants were allowed to enjoy their national quest for unity and harmony unbothered by the unwashed who have no agenda save protestation.

Grandmother Votes for Kaitlyn's Future

It took me exactly ten minutes to cast my vote in what is lovingly referred to as 'lower and slower Sussex county' Delaware. No, we don't vote Democrat in this county but up north near Wilmington they are all liberals. Remember, Joe Biden is our state Senator but he'll be gone next time he's up for re-election.

There were exactly TWO, count 'em, TWO, voting booths.
