Getting our money's worth:
OBITUARY IN THE ‘YORKSHIRE POST’ NEWSPAPER


The couple had been happily married for just over 50 years when the wife died.  They had spent their entire married life in the Yorkshire Dales.


The husband contacted the local newspaper to enquire about having an obituary published.


But when informed of the cost by the lady in the newspaper office, the man uttered, in true Yorkshire fashion, “How Much?!  You've got to be joking!!”


He finally agreed he would have to pay something but wanted to spend as little as possible.


“I want summat simple,” he explained.  “My Gladys was a good-hearted and hard-working Yorkshire lass but she wouldn't have wanted owt swanky.”


“Perhaps a small poem?" suggested the woman at the newspaper obituary desk.


“Nay, lass,” he said, “she wouldn't have wanted anything la-di-da like that.  And she wouldn't have wanted me to spend too much brass.  How's about we just say:  "Gladys Ramsbottom died."

“You must say when she died,” insisted the lady in the office.


“Do I?  OK, well, let's just put Died 17th Jan 2016.  That'll do.”


“OK," said the newspaper lady, "but it's also usual for the bereaved to add some meaningful phrase about the dearly departed.”


The husband considered for a moment. “Well,” he said, “just include Sadly missed.  That'll do”.


“For the minimum price, you can have another four words included,” the woman explained.


“No, no,” the husband said.  “Gladys wouldn't 'ave wanted me to splash out like that.”


“You wouldn't have to.  As I've just explained, the extra four words are included in the basic price.”


“Are they? You mean ... I will 'ave paid for 'em anyway?”


“Yes, indeed, Mr Ramsbottom”


“Well, if I'm paying for 'em, I'm damn well 'avin 'em.”


The final wording was agreed and the following obituary was duly printed in the next day's edition of the Yorkshire Post.


Gladys Ramsbottom

died 17th January 2016.

Sadly missed.

The philosophical pendulum regarding the Supreme Court Swings from time to time and Justice Nominee Kavanaugh is frightening for Democrats because his appointment  suggests a Conservative mind set could control the court for decades.

The nominee is more than qualified but after the Bork rejection that no longer matters to The Senate.  It has become all a matter of vicious politics. In fact,If truth be known, Kavanaugh is probably more imminently qualified than many of those who will be voting on his qualifications.

Lamentably,  virtually everything on the political scene continues to be more contentious and divided. Sad indeed.

In preparation for the hearings Kavanaugh  appeared before what is called the "Murder Board."
Over one half a million documents have been released and yet Democrats are complaining not enough. What hypocrisy. None of their own appointees were subjected to such demands.

This is why remarkable people are less willing to volunteer to serve the nation because they do not want their reputations sullied and/or need to have their lives put through the hate wringer.

Left or Liberal?

Tell the average American you’re a liberal and they’ll assume you’re on the political left. Yet, leftists and liberals hold very different positions on key issues. In this video, Dennis Prager explains how the tenets of liberalism like a belief in capitalism and free speech have more in common with conservatism than with the identity politics and racial resentment preached by the left.

a. At least two military personnel were killed and 11 wounded in overnight explosions  on a military airport on the edge of the Syrian capital. Israel rarely confirms or denies its operations in Syria. This attack  was, apparently, especially destructive and rumoured to have a connection to Israel. A Syria-based Iranian military claimed the explosion was caused by an electrical short circuit.
b. In an ongoing chess game of threats and counter-threats, Israel has threatened to attack any Iranian military assets in Iraq as it has done in Syria, following reports Tehran has moved ballistic missiles closer to the Jewish state.
c.  A report from Western intelligence officials reveals that Iran is using civilian flights to smuggle arms to Hezbollah.
