quarterinch's blog post - the silence is deafening

my wife has gone out to play canasta with her girlfriends, my bird loving, tree hugging greeny sister in law (from the land of stars and strife)has gone shopping with my little(33) daughter who is as soft , caring and compassionate as General Patton, and uses similar tactics to win the day,Little daughter is a shopping Nazi so sister in law is about to get her come uppance!!. She goes home to dreamyland(California) on Wednesday morning via the big grey double decker bus (United Shabby airlines) the only airline where the hostesses uniforms look like they have been slept in all night (probably have, humping the aircrew).
Am I cynical? No. Am I compassionate? Just a little.
Do I like Americans? Of course I do, my mum came from Manhatten.
My son is in Viet Nam at the moment, trying to smooth over the horrendous fuck up that Kennedy started (US dropped seven and a half million tons of bombs and killed 1.1 million people because they did not have the political party they liked) plus all the poor US soldiers that were sent there and came home in a body bag the whole 50 thousand who died for nothing.
But my sister in law is a true champion, a tree hugging, bird watching greenie; but then she comes from Ca and they have Arnie to protect them!!
