Oliver

The news is just too depressing today. The word 'failure' appears in one of its forms in the first three headlines on the Guardian's website.

On the TV this morning was a perky man talking about how he had turned around his life and was about to be baptised. How did we all know this man? Because last year he attacked an older man who habitually gave him money, in church. But the good news is, he's not going to gaol!

Let me see, who else doesn't feel like taking responsibility? Oh yes, the Mountie who used his position and uniform to have sex with women while on duty. He hoped this wouldn't ruin his career, well, or let's say that he shouldn't have to lose his job over it. Really? What a cheek. Fortunately the RCMP don't agree and he has been told to resign.
Huh.
So...fall on his sword. If he hasn't done so in two weeks, he'll be pushed.

There was one good piece of news today though! My friend Dawn's second grandchild was born. Congratulations to Adam and Lisa on the birth of Oliver(and Dawn too of course;)
