Royal Wedding news this morning when I hit the gym. I was surprised that
they got engaged a while ago, seems strange that they didn't announce it
then. I don't hold with the bad luck vibes and stuff myself. She was his
mother, he obviously adored her, and if she's OK with it,and I'm assuming
that she is then I don't see what the big deal is. I'm really happy that
they waited, and made sure that it was right for them, and I really hope
that it works. Bloody hell, your probably gonna miss it, aren't most
Royal weddings in mid-July?
Student riots were a big story here, I heard about it first on the local
news, then put CNN and BBC on to here more. Nothing about PM in China,
but obviously Obama's trip to Asia at the same time garnered major news.
Big news here in our county, Prince George's County, Maryland. All
started to go down last Friday. Our County is the largest majority black
county in the US, over 90% Democratic voters, but also very high crime in
certain areas, mostly those closest to DC. Anyway, the county executive
(black of course - Executive basically is the County Administrator, runs
the county). Was arrested on what can only be called racketeering
charges. He was allegedly accepting bribes for county contracts.
Unbeknownst to him the feds were wire-tapping his ass, and have been
investigating him since 2006. He has 3 weeks left in office, because his
term is up, guess you can only serve 2 terms max. His wife just won a
county council seat. Well......she called him on Friday and said there
were 2 federal agents at the door, and what should she do. He tells her
to go to the underwear drawer and take out $80,000 in cash that is hidden
there and hide it in her underwear!!!!!! Then tells here to take a
$100,000 check that he has in the house and flush it down the toilet. So
the feds called in a plumber, but they didn't find the check. He was
indicted on Friday, and has an electronic ankle monitor, and goes back to
work on Monday to finish his term!!! Press conference claiming he's
innocent and will be cleared of all charges, etc, etc.
Then yesterday, as a result of the fed. investigation 9 people were
arrested on drug/alcohol/tobacco crimes. Including 3 PG county police
officers. It's all go here.
Other big news from last night. Redskins on Monday night football got
there asses royally kicked 59-28, this after it was announced earlier in
the day that the quarterback,who is 34 years old and clearly past it was
given a 5 year $79 million contract, $40 mill. of which is guaranteed!!!!
Then he goes out that night and throws 3 interceptions.
