You gotta love those Brits! The sun may have set on
the Empire - but they sure know how to have a funeral. But, now
that the Queen Mum has gone - what member of the British Royal Family
am I going to like?
Best part of the funeral was on the ever tasteless
Fox New channel. I had been watching the BBC feed, where they assume
that you know what is going on. For some reason, I switch over to
Fox, just in time to hear the US based announcers saying of the
Spitfires flying over "They tried to defend London during the
war". The British guy say "They DEFENDED London - they
are the 'few'!!!" To which our highly learned US announcer
says "The few????"
Never in the field of human conflict was so much
owed by so many to so few.
Winston Churchill August 20, 1940
House of Commons
Ah, the American intellect... a fright to behold.
When the sun sets on our empire - and it surely will - what will
our legacy be?
