Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

I didn’t watch all the episodes, but I showed up for the finale, and what a finale it was! Finally after how many seasons?-a bachelor who was man enough to propose. What a wonderful surprise, especially after the limp noodle of a man we were subjected to last season who turned out to be such a weenie. How embarrassing though for all the other American bachelors who got spanked by a Brit who came across ‘the pond’ to show them the mettle of a real man.

Speaking of heavy mettle, despite the media blackout, Ron Paul is still going strong in the race for the republican nomination. He must be getting press in every other country EXCEPT for America because there are videos all over You Tube and stories on the internet of people showing their support for him in Paris, India, and New Zealand just to name a few. I’m so very disappointed in our American media and their blackout of him. Our press has no freedom. Our news anchors are mere puppets and the people who own the stations are, themselves, owned.

The last American Revolution was fought with muskets. This one, with media. Support and vote for Ron Paul.

I watched the second installment of Cranford last night on PBS and almost flooded the house with my tears.

I love Judy Dench. Honestly, if I saw her on the street in the city where I live, I would drag her to my house for tea and scones just so I could visit with her. Actually and ok, I know it sounds odd but hey, how is that different form any other day for me? -you have seen those posters of of James dean, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and the like sitting at the counter of the corner diner, right? Well, I would have something like that in my living room with Kathy Bates, Helen Mirren, Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, and Nora Ephron all over for tea. Maybe we would all be glammed up, or not, but heck, even if we were in blue jeans and button downs, it would still be a  kick in the pants, fun thing to do!

Who is your favorite actress or writer or fictional character you would like to have to tea? What would you discuss?
