Restoration of Anglo-Saxon Relationship: Progress Report


From the Huffington Post
Mitt Romney, in his first trip abroad as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, is trying to walk back comments he made questioning London's Olympics preparation -- comments that have drawn a sharp response from Prime Minister David Cameron.
The dustup began Wednesday, as Romney, who ran the 2002 Salt Lake City games, said there were "disconcerting" signs in the days before this year's games.
"The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials -- that obviously is not something which is encouraging," he told NBC News.
"Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? And that's something which we only find out once the games actually begin," he said.
Cameron soon rebuked Romney. "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course, it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," he said.

With Apologies to Mr. Sondheim

Sha-ri-a 
The most frightening sound I ever heard:
Sharia, Sharia, Sharia, Sharia. . .
All the Islamic threats of the world in a single word . . .
Sharia, Sharia, Sharia, Sharia. . .
Sharia!
I've just seen a law named Sharia,
And if I am insane
The Muslims are to blame.
(Could be).
Sharia!
I've just dissed a law named Sharia,
And therefore I must mention
How wonderful attention
Can be!
Sharia!
Say it loud like the muezzin's braying 
Say it soft and it's almost betraying.
Sharia,
I'll never stop screeching Sharia!
The most frightening word I ever heard. Sha-ri-a.

Entertainment for the whole family!
