riverwalker's JournalPresident Clinton at Hubert Humphrey ceremony
http://www.startribune.com/local/stpaul/164988816.html#More than 30 years after he died, Hubert H. Humphrey finally has a memorial on the State Capitol grounds in St. Paul.
A 7-foot bronze statue of "The Happy Warrior" was dedicated Saturday, with tributes from former President Bill Clinton and a bipartisan who's-who of Minnesota politics, including former Vice President Walter Mondale, who considered Humphrey a mentor.
Appropriately, the statue shows Humphrey gesturing and apparently in mid-sentence, delivering one of the passionate speeches for which he was famous.
(my grandmother was buried at Lakewood Cemetery, at her request, to be near HHH. He was loved by many in Minnesota. The article mentions the Sen.Knute Nelson statue, he was my Dad's great uncle. )
Bill Clinton in Minnesota today for HHH statue ceremony and dinner

Greta's "reporting"
is so bad, it's like reading the Onion. She's in the pool following Romney, and described the visit to the Westerplatte Memorial in Gdansk (a memorial to the defenders of the invasion of Poland by Germany, the first battle in the european theater WW2, 180 Polish soldiers repelled attacks of 3500 Germans for 7 days):
"A large obelisk-kind-of-gigantic stone monument with words and faces carved into its edifice towers over the top of this hill."
What words Greta? Whose faces? What is it in memorial to, Greta? Aren't you the least bit curious? A big funny shaped rock with words and pictures, thats it?
Photo of Mittens & Ann at Westerplatte, explaining to son Josh what "war" is, since family tradition has provided no experience for generations of Romneys as far back as the first descendants from England. Josh had never heard of the word before.

Romneys creepy family tree
Found his tree still looking for anyone who actually fought for this country in his gene pool. (None. Nada thus far) Which is beyond weird, as the average American has someone, somewhere who served in the military. Willard is a war monger whose DNA is untouched and unaffected by the ravages of combat. President Obama has a grandfather and uncle that served WW2, probably more. My own family is full of veterans, we know the cost of war, we all live with the legacy of war everyday, this is why it matters to me.
Mitts chart here. Finding military service in his Family Tree is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Found a chart of his polygimist great grampa Miles Park ROMNEY and his 5 wives. When you see it in a real chart, with the children, gives you the creeps, it makes it so much more real.

was Jim Holmes a Tea Party member?
save this in case page gets scrubbed. I don't know how big Aurora Colorado is, or if there are two Jim Holmes' living there. Odd that there is total silence about the shooter, no friends or neighbors coming forward yet.
