I'm really not one for politics, but I can't help reading all the news around Baroness Thatcher. It seems there's a big split between those who admired her and those that couldn't wait to celebrate her death. One thing's for sure, she's struck an emotional chord with many people who will remember her long after her death.

At the end of the day, that's probably the biggest tribute to a politician as it means they made a difference and I don't think anyone would disagree with that. I'm not sure who it was that first said when they were asked if it worried them the number of people that booed them, responded, the only thing I worry about is hearing silence. It's certainly something that applies to Kyle Busch ..."you know who I am".

I bet this is the only article that mentions Margaret Thatcher and Kyle Busch together!

I will say that I thought the interview with Tony Blair that I heard on the radio was incredibly good at giving praise to someone who, from a political standpoint, has a number of opposing views. My position, if anyone really cares, is that I think she made an overall positive difference even if I didn't agree with everything she did. That said, I generally don't agree with everything any politician does.

The one thing I will say is that I'm in complete awe as to what she achieved. There's a lot written about her humble upbringing as the daughter of a Graham shopkeeper and how she made it to the top of, what was then, a mama world. To become one of the most powerful political figures in the world. I have to admire her success.
