My “real” blog is at www.jerrypettit.com/blog –I’m using this site for some experiments with importing & exporting.

Tony Blair, Casualty of War

June 27, 2007

blair.jpg   Recent polls say that 2/3 of the American public  believe that they are “smarter than George Bush”.

   Today we lose one of the world’s truly intelligent leaders.  I will miss hearing Mr. Blair speak.  It is inspiring to see a world leader who is able to construct an intelligible sentence.

   The British take on his resignation today here.

June 27, 2007

Kudos to my oldest son Brett for finding these for me.  (He lives for things like this).

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader’s Baby Sister?

   Ok, I’m going to burn my MENSA certificate.  (Yes, it’s true, blog fans–I was once a member of MENSA, but voluntarily relinquished my membership when I hit 50 and started getting sort of stupid…)
