A Lady's Ruminations

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

From The Corner:

Seven Minutes of Glory [John Podhoretz]

Seven Minutes of Glory [John Podhoretz]
During last week's House debate, Rep. Sam Johnson of Texas rose to speak in opposition to the non-binding resolution attacking the surge in Iraq. His speech was, in many ways, the Republican flip side to Jim Webb's celebrated response to the State of the Union - and in an act of public service, the website Redstate.com has put a YouTube link to it at the top of its page. Go there, and spend the seven minutes it takes to watch Johnson's extraordinary speech. You'll thank me.
