The Unengaged President Obama

Mark Steyn, in National Review:

He doesn’t seem to know, and he doesn’t seem to care that he doesn’t know, and he doesn’t seem to care that he doesn’t care.... The president seems to stand foursquare for nothing much.

And this:

...White House aides indicated that what angered the president most about the Rolling Stone piece was “a McChrystal aide saying that McChrystal had thought that Obama was not engaged when they first met last year.” If finding Obama “not engaged” is now a firing offense, who among us is safe?

July is Memories Month

July 6th, 2009 was the date my cancer was discovered. I had an MRI that day to look for an explanation for my severe (and I mean SEVERE) back pain. As it turns out, the back pain was caused by a large tumor.

I know that many of you are mourning the untimely passing of the tumor. He was gone by Thanksgiving and has not been seen since.

The good news is that I am still here. That is good news, right? Ok. Don't answer that....

In the next couple of weeks I'll be reliving my many doctor's visits and medical procedures from last July -- a month that will live in infirmary. I know you can't wait to walk down memory lane with me. Nothing is quite as sentimental as reliving old times in and around the hospital.

If you don't like this plan, I can always post YouTube clips of Lawrence Welk shows. You can vote your preference in the comments.

See ya!

How sad

This is about the saddest thing I have read.
