Not Worth the Mud Clogged in Harry's Boots

Unlike one "head of state" and his deranged veep who weasled their way through their military obligations when other young men and women were dying in the jungles of Vietnam in their stead, young Prince Harry understands the meaning of duty, comradeship, and leadership. Even as the British are winding down their involvement in this fiasco, this royal son will not shirk the service that no one would blame him for avoiding at this point. And one thing is for sure--Harry won't be stuffing socks into his crotch while playing dress-up warrior.

My hat's off to you son. Stay safe. Our "commander in chief" isn't fit to carry your dirty socks.

Why Politicians and Talking Heads in D.C. Are Very Nervous

I'll confess to an admittedly neurotic fear of clowns, which is not an uncommon malady.

Of course, every time one of them opens his or her mouth, the difference will still be hard to make clear to the gun-toting clown haters out there.
