#1 Bush Fails to Embarrass the Queen!

Dang, I was hoping he'd barf in her lap or something like that.

#2 Not so fast. This story suggests that Bush almost suggested that the Queen was around in 1776, and worse, that that was the Bicentennial.

To the right of the story, under the picture of the queen, is a link to a slideshow of pics. "A royal dinner."

George looks goofy in number 3. Laura has a glassy stare in all of them. Lynne Cheney is wearing something godawful in number 6. Colin Powell looks handsome in number 8. Nancy Kissinger came dressed as Ambassador Kosh from Babylon 5 (no. 9). And poor Kathleen Palmer (Arnold's wife) turns up dressed down, in something I would wear (10).

#3 I saw the video of Bush's reference to 1776. Funny and touching, if you don't suffer from BDS.

#4 What is with all this huge banquet crap? The President and First Lady needed to invite a few guests and have the Queen and Prince Phillip over. Having this huge fancy feast is not the way of Americans. That would be appropriate. We left Europe years ago because of all this consumptive excess at the expense of the public and class stuff. That is not who we are.

#6 The 1776 thing was hilarious.
President Bush caught the error but not before the queen gave him a withering "we are not amused" stare. He said that "that was a look that only a mother could give to a child".
