That was a crazy weekend.............

Watch out little one! It was like this at the weekend!

Donald Trump was well and truly trumped by President Obama at the White House Correspondants dinner last week. The Pres. took him to bits, poked fun at him and also at himself and the First Lady plus other various people and managed to get The Donald sitting with a lot of egg on his face and a murderous expression. It serves him right. Anyone with such a dreadful hairstyle simply cannot be taken seriously. It also applies to people who have bizarre names: Newt Gingrich??? Reince Priebus,??? Saxby Chambliss??? Chaka Fattah??? Where do their parents get them from? They sound like something out of Star Wars! They are all American politicians. Forsooth! They make Miliband and co. look positively bland.... which they are, come to think of it.

Then up goes the Pres. once more and blasts the radical death machine called OBL to death. Nice strike guys. He should not have been left alive and burying him at sea so there's no shrine, was a clever move. We all know there will be some idiot who will jump up and vow to avenge his death, but I think they authorities do know this. It's put a lot of peoples minds at ease and given many, closure. I do wish the majority of the Arab world, and Muslims in general, I'm not talking about radicals, would say more about all this. I'm sure they're quite glad that this madman has been put to rest, but one hears barely a whisper from them. It would do your image with the Western World a lot of good if you did join in the condemnations as well. We are far too nice to you all, it's your turn to be nice back. Try it.

I went to see the movie THOR yesterday as it was such stupid weather. It was super! Great fun and a treat on the eyes. I'm going to see it again. I love films where one can lose oneself in the inanities, although this wasn't an inane film. To the contrary. MEET DAVE, with Eddy Murphy, was, and I roared with laughter through it. It was so bad that it was good.

As I sit here pondering the foibles of mankind, of which there are far too many, I am reminded of the words my friends Confucius says: Even the greatest of whales is helpless in middle of the desert. I haven't a clue why this has struck me as being a profound thought for the day, but it did.

Good, isn't it....
