It’s Friday… one of the best of the year! It kicks off the long 4th of July Holiday Weekend.
As for the week…
Al Gore’s world is warming up a lot faster than even he could have predicted. Police have re-opened an investigation into whether he sexually assaulted a massage therapist. She called him a “Sex-Crazed Poodle”. Or a “Scroodle” for short…
Tiger and Elin Woods have reportedly forged out a divorce settlement, which would give her $750 million bucks and custody of the kids. But Forbes magazine says his net worth is only $600 million. Either way, after monthly expenses, Tiger says he’ll be left with just six dollars. No wait… that’s someone else…
Speaking of Kwame… Like so many Michiganders, he’ll spend the holiday weekend “Up North”. Of course he’s already there – in Prison. I guess he went up early to beat the traffic…
The Kilpatrick family was busy this week… Carlita packed up the kids and moved out of their million-dollar mini-mansion in Dallas. A spokesperson for the family said they’re “down-sizing” – which is, ironically what Kwame’s doing courtesy of the bad prison food. By the way, the moving company Carlita hired? “Two Men and a Schmuck”.
Larry King announced that he’ll retire from “Larry King Live” in the fall. Not too much of an argument out of CNN since some feel lately he’s been looking more like “Larry King Dead”.
On a personal note…
Gail and I took Jackie out for a big birthday dinner on Wednesday night. (Okay, it was a Coney Island… but we had a bunch of the grandkids with us). We had a great time listening to the kids (ages 8, 8 & 6) discuss the culinary merits of dipping deep-fried mozzarella sticks in Ketchup instead of Ranch dressing. They asked me to be a taste-tester, but I said I’d only do it if they’d try my Salmon Wrap. Guess how that worked out?
Speaking of Birthdays… America celebrates it’s 234th this weekend. Below are two quotes that my daughter Jackie came across, that she thought fit the weekend beautifully and I agree. Here they are…
“America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.” - Dinesh D’Souza
“There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
Have a safe and wonderful weekend! God Bless you and your families and God Bless America!
