Newt Gingrich, the self-proclaimed presumptive Republican nominee, has suspended his quest with his campaign in debt. Now there’s a bold idea.
President Obama has the right his chest regarding the decision and success regarding the attack on Osama bin Laden. Stating the Mitt Romney would not have made that decision is a stretch. Meanwhile, Gov. Romney taking a cheap shot at former President Carter was unnecessary. As the Republicans complain about the politicization of the issue, too bad the GOP chose not to say, “Congratulations Mr. President. Now let’s talk about the economy.”
Will Cain is a conservative commentator that makes enough sense to at least make me think.

My lawn is a bit soggy because Monday-Tuesday we had 3 inches of rain!
This week I got to sit in the premier box at a short concert of the combined Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra. Nice seat, but not the acoustics were so-so.
We have only one more time of playing handbells at church before breaking for the summer, which also means one more rehearsal. Meanwhile, golf leagues have started for both my wife and I.
I have a classic cartoon post planned for tomorrow. Hint: It’s a Looney Tunes character.
We started the week with babies to the music Tunak Tunak Tun; so let’s end the week with this high school students enjoying themselves to the same music. Have a good weekend everyone. In the words of Garrison Keillor, Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
