So I'm watching CSpan 1
and there's the Queen of bling wearing all the diamonds she can find discussing terrorism. Then I think about the terrorist methods used for that symbol of imperialism to acquire all that bling and I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. Fuck all monarchies and imperialists.

1. Yes, it was like the Theater of the Absurd.
What cracked me up (funny) is that that blonde bimbo spokeswoman was bragging about the "White House Butlers" who have been careerists for over 20 to 30 years. OMG! Monarchy truly sucks!

"Oh, and the one behind The President and The Queen in that take is called 'Ramsey.' We just love talking." <royal hair toss> :puke:

Arrogant elites and so called royalty are no better human being than you or I. Many of them worse because far too many feel that they DESERVE their entitlements. :thumbsdown:

2. Like Watching The Dog Show...
I briefly scanned the "beautiful people" coming to rattle their jewelry...and was glad I was nowhere near that mess.

Yes, it must be remembered that these days the British Monarchy is nothing more than a reality TV show, but the wealth Lizzie was rattling last night was earned on the backs of an empire that exploited people around the globe...surely the envy of the Neo-Cons in the room.

The funny thing is this was the first "formal state dinner" at the White House during the boooosh regime...meaning world leaders have been shunning this regime.

3. What is 'bling'?
Its not a word I am familiar with. What does it mean? What language is it? Its not in the dictionary I keep at hand.
