HM The Queen Diamond Jubilee celebrating 60 years on the Throne of the British Monarchy will be celebrated on the holiday weekend of June 2 – 5, 2012.
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee message:
Today, as I mark 60 years as your Queen, I am writing to thank you for the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given to me and Prince Philip over these years and to tell you how deeply moved we have been to receive so many kind messages about the Diamond Jubilee.
In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighbourliness,
examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign and which my family and I look forward to seeing in many forms as we travel throughout the United Kingdom and the wider Commonwealth.
I hope also that this Jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to look forward to the future with clear head and warm heart as we join together in our celebrations.

“ If you don’t know that our Government is wiping its a$$ with the Constitution, you’re living under a rock someplace…
We’ve got a President and Attorney General who doesn’t even like the Constitution. We’ve got 4 Supreme Court Justices who don’t believe in the Constitution.” – Ted Nugent, American Patriot
“ If Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail, by this time next year…
If you can’t galvanize and promote and recruit people to vote for Mitt Romney, we’re done…
We are Patriots. We are Braveheart.
We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?” – Ted Nugent, American Patriot
Club Fed or Pley Club is clearly the biggest scandal in Secret Service history.
Eleven Secret Service Agents in Cartagena, Colombia for the Summit of the Americas, were sent back to the United States after alleged misconduct involving prostitution.
Prostitution is legal in Colombia in designated “tolerance zones.”
All 11 agents who put the secret in service are accused of involvement in the incident by either interfering in the investigation or direct participation in other alleged misconduct.
Pley Club and Hotel Caribe – We all know the story of how do you make a hormone. Not pay her.
A disputed $170 bill brought down the Agency.
“ One of the agents did not pay one of the prostitutes and she complained to the police.” – Ronald Kessler, former Washington Post reporter
