Mawidge is a dweam wiffin a dweam
Wife and oglet watching in other room. I can’t bear it.
Disney gave us this, the whole fairytale prince/princess wedding thing. Otherwise, nobody would pay attention. It isn’t the expense, really, the money we spend (against our will) on OUR royalty (look at the last presidential inauguration) is far more obscene.
No, it’s the british “royals” that annoy me, on their surface.
Top Gear, one of my fave BBC America shows, features jeremy clarkson, who perpetually makes an issue of Americans, specifically the whole “Inbreeding” part.
yeah, we got some cousin fucking fools, here. Most of them, like the blue fugates, are confined to the hills, and even hillfolk are starting to eschew their own brethren.
Unlike the UK, where the inbreeding is confined to royalty, and the world watches, enthralled, while they strut their stuff. yes, I know the bride and groom aren’t related, it’s the principle of the thing.
I love the british, I love the women’s accents and I love the humor. I do wish theyd shed the useless monarchy and the idiot labor and get back to being the empire the sun never set on.
This made me snort a bit – because as I heard the Archbishop of Canterbury done on – I said to myself “Wuv…twoo wuv…”
:-D
The Princess Bride!
Greatest. Movie. EVAR!
Kate Middleton is pretty okay looking, for a ‘commoner’. Girl like that would NEVER be considered common in my neck of the woods.
One thing I respect about the British royals is that they, unlike our “royalty”, insist that their children have military experience and actually go in harm’s way. IIRC Charles piloted a ‘copter during the Falkland’s war, and William has done two tours in the Sandbox. They’re not second-class by any standards, Royalty or not.
You forgot, the inbreeding over there includes the ‘upper’ class; a lot of those family trees are so intertwined from what I’ve heard that they’d make a patch of blackberries look simple in comparison.
Indeed. And while the current crop of royals includes some decent folk, the truth is, they have a history, and it’s not a good one. One way or another, they’re a leech upon the people, as our own government has become.
