    I'm watching the Obamas sit down with British Royalty for a State Banquet. At center is Barack Obama sitting next to Queen Elizabeth, Michelle Obama next to the Duke of Edinburgh, and Hillary came waltzing in with Prince Charles. Also attending are the rich and famous including Richard Branson, actors and actresses, etc.

    What a fucking, expensive spectacle! In Buckingham Palace no less.

    But cool in a great way to see Obama, Michelle and Hillary rubbing shoulders with all that royalty. It's only the second time a US president has been honored thus, so they say.

    I can see Republicans eating their hearts out, if they can even stand to watch this!

    I like how everyone is looking away from him as he makes his toast. Even the guy behind him is averting his eyes.

    *Yawn* Let's watch a bunch of rich people have a good time.

    Bet they're serving alcohol there, too, right? Oh, the irony. Even if they're not drinking a lot, I always find it such an irony seeing political leaders partake in it.

    I recommend watching the Buckingham Palace scene in The Beatles' "Help!" movie, though. haha ;)

    Today Obama gave a speech to Parliament, the first time a US president has been so honored. The last three persons to do that were the Pope, Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela...

    Why are the Brits kissing Obama's ass? Well perhaps because he let BP escape relatively unscathed from their Gulf debacle.
