The above is all mandated if there is no plea agreement. A plea offer has been made already and I’m not sure if any progress has been made in that endeavor.

More info will be posted as it comes to me.

Yesterday was a beautiful day to be on a bike. I managed to knock off about 150 miles going to lunch with the Old Fartz and some minor side trips. Today promises to be just as nice. Not sure if I will get out or not, but I’m gonna try.

We were given an old Mac for Erin to use and she brought it to me to figure out the password, but I couldn’t. 5 minutes later she had figured it out. To all my friends: Please contact Erin for all future help with computers. She’s much better than I am.

For all you teachers, grandparents and anyone who knows and converses with children – be careful what you ask for…..

A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade.

The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk!

You need to use ‘Big People’ words,’ she was always reminding them.

She asked John what he had done over the weekend?

‘I went to visit my Nana.’

‘No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use ‘Big People’ words!’

She then asked Mitchell what he had done.

‘I took a ride on a choo-choo.’

She said. ‘No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use ‘Big People’ words.’

She then asked little Alex what he had done?

‘I read a book,’ he replied.

That’s WONDERFUL!’ the teacher said.

‘What book did you read?’

( I love this…)

Alex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride and said: “Winnie the SHIT

• Now that ML is gone, it feels strange here. What was normal with her here is now not needed.
• She returns next Thursday from this break, maybe. Nina will make a final decision about her sometime next week.
• Just so you know, I like this weird feeling. It’s nice not having anyone but us here.

I have trouble saying Happy Memorial Day for a day of remembrance of so many American deaths. I’m actually not sure what word should precede Memorial Day on this occasion, but happy doesn’t seem right. I guess we all have to honor those that died in our own way, with our own words.

I hope your party and day are great.

Many people who may vote in the democratic primary election, if there is one, and the general election in 2016 have no real knowledge of Mrs. Clinton or her accomplishments.  As a public service, I thought I would provide some input regarding her triumphs for consideration.

When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform.  Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress.  This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.

Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general.  Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.  Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.”  Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.

Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission.  Lani Guanier was her selection.  When a little probing led to the discovered of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations.  She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department.  Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Many younger votes will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.”  Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply.  She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired.  This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours

Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.  Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.

Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense.  Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle was:

• She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.  After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
• She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the  appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
• Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
• Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, &# 8220; “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.
• After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.

What a swell party – ready for another four or eight year of this type low-life mess?

Now we are exposed to: the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next.  But to her loyal fans – “what difference does it make?”

Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!
