So as every one knows the Brits have a new Princess since Prince Philip got married. Wasn't too interested in the Royal Wedding. Glad too people who say they love each other are going to try and spend the rest of their life together, but past that didn't have any interest, until I saw this:
Whatever convinced Princess Beatrice to wear that God only knows. But suffice to say if Doctor Who and the Daleks showed up and fought over who got possession of that hat, nobody would blink, in fact they would kind of anticipated it.
On a more serious note we also found out that Osama Bin Laden had been found and killed. Lots of surprise, some celebration at his death, as for me, to quote the Smiths “I'm not Happy and I'm not Sad”
Glad to see that some of the families of 9/11 were able to find closure. Glad some justice was served But find no need to celebrate what is a benchmark though not a endmark in a continuing struggle .
A proper and appropriate use of The Smiths. Bin Laden's death is, unfortunately, a minor victory in a long-winded war. It's nice to build momentum, but as one UVA student put it, it was an exercise in "the worst kind of jingoistic hubris."
