Urban Poly Princess

I looove Thursdays because I don't work on Fridays.
I learned a little more about the late king and his successor. Tupou V named his little brother crown prince in 2006. He has had time to prepare for his role as King today. Media reports are inconsistent with pertinent facts. It's annoying!!! The number of pallbearers was repeatedly named as 1000 while other stories list it at 150. I think that's more accurate. I haven't been in Tonga forever sooo maybe Tupou V was the beloved Monarch everyone seems to be trying to make him into. I just didn't have a good impression of him.
George's first job after he graduated was for this insurance company in Honolulu called John Mullen. He did all their computer stuff although I don't really know what that means. That was a looong time ago and I think he only made under 30,000 a year then. The current King Tupou VI, then a prince and NOT the crown prince, visited him with some old Tongan man who "spoke" for the prince-since the prince wasn't supposed to speak to commoners-tried to tell George what the prince needed. The prince just spoke directly to George as the old Tongan man's English was pretty bad and the prince spoke perfect English. He told George he just needed some RAM so George told him where the nearest store was for him to get some. It's a funny story and it's neat that he met the current king that way. George could care less.
He is voting for Obama again. He is a registered Republican BUT he told me he had to vote for Obama last time since he's from Hawaii. Now he just doesn't like any of the Republican candidates. I called him a traitor but that did nothing. He doesn't like Mitt. He thinks he doesn't have confidence. I talked about Jack Welch's endorsement and what he said about Romney and he doesn't like Welch either. He said Welch was a harsh businessman who may have been successful but didn't care about eliminating employees. I don't know what's wrong with my brother!!! My assistant is voting for Obama too.
Thankfully I live in Utah AND I know that Romney will get ALL our electoral votes SOOO George AND Judy's votes will just be wasted anyway. I know Utah will vote for Romney for silly reasons too but that's just fine with me!!!
