The day after Mother's Day
But wait, there's more, some English guy is calling her victory 'Balkans chicanery'!
Is Serbia's winning song a 'rip off' of an Albanian song?

In all fairness to Serbia, and to the singer, people rip each others music off ALL the time in the Balkans! Seriously they do!
BiH's Entry,
I did not know that the singer's father wrote the present wordless national anthem of BiH, Intermeco, nor did I know this replaced the original wordless national anthem.

So what did your friendly editor do on Mother's Day?
Answer: My daughter came and got me and with the whole of the extended family, there was a huge barbeque, which was a lot of fun. We had burgers, all beef hot dogs, potato salad, regular salad, and sodas.
An observation, I think the war and the president have lost the Redneck vote totally!
Maybe it was the fact the History Channel was running a documentary on Hippies.
Maybe it's that everyone knows I've been active against the war, I participate in local peace actions regularly. At first this was a scary activity, and frustrating, but now even people with the big shiny S.U.V.s are not being hostile.
One of the older men of the family is a WWII vetran, he's the oldest local member of my son-in-law's family, a man with a wicked sense of humor, the guy who brought the fart machine to thanksgiving the year my daughter was pregnant with the first of the two grand babies, and he made her laugh so hard that her mother in law chewed him out, saying 'when someone is that pregnant that kind of laughing is DANGEROUS!' My daughter however is made of stern stuff and just said 'Hey I'd be proud if I farted that loud!'
Anyway he said 'I didn't mind going to WWII, Hitler had to go, and we did some good, this thing isn't working like that, and every time I hear of some poor soldier dying it makes me want to cry' He's a tough unsentimental old guy, loving and caring but not the kind of guy you think of as crying.
Of course he got no argument from me.
The consensus was that the guys should just get into a bunch of trucks and drive out to Kuwait and get on ships and get the Hell out, just retreat, so what if we 'lose' ...
I have NEVER heard honest to God Rednecks say this, not like that.
When you lose the Redneck vote for a war, or any other thing, it's over, but especially with a war, because the back-bone of the military is Rednecks, followed by Blacks. You can't run a war if both groups lose the desire to be involved. That is where America's soldiers come from.
