Night Music and Politics

Monday, July 26th, 2010

EJ Montini explains why you might run against one of the most popular presidential candidates in decades despite evidently having no voice in choosing your running mate and knowing you were going to lose a month out.  He’s a smart man, my cousin.

Impressive Flight

A 15-year old has flown cross country (as in across the country) landing at Compton Woodley.  Nice job.

Our New Ambassador to Ireland
