Queen Haglund hangs with Prince! No not the purple one.

Miss America Tune-In Alert!!!

On Friday morning, Miss America and HRH the Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex will be the morning guests on Fox & Friends live from Mississippi to announce the newest initiative for the Miss America Organization, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Young Americans’ Challenge.

Ummm.... Mississippi? The guy comes all the way from a far, far, land to meet our Queen and we picked Mississippi?

They’ll discuss with Gretchen the importance for this award which is for personal achievement and can be obtained by anyone aged 14 to 25. I remember back in school when we had the Presidential fitness award. President Reagan had Arnold Schwarts'hisname as the spokesperson for it. I was pretty good at all the running and stuff, but those pull-ups always got me....

This Award is featured in 120 countries with over 600,000 students currently participating and the objective is to create and develop life skills for young people. The Award, is non-competitive, available to all, voluntary, flexible, balanced, progressive, focused on personal development, and last-but-certainly-not-least, enjoyable! Wonder if Kenya is one of those 120 countries? Those Kenyans can really run fast. Have you seen all the marathons they win. I can't wait for the Olympics. Those Kenyans are gonna be hockin' a lung in all that bad air in China. We should send a runner from somewhere like LA to the Olympics. Our runners will think the Chinese air smells like a Carolina pine forest compared to the LA air.
