That's my theory anyway. ;-]<br /><br />And leave Charles alone.

Although we're supposed to laugh at the stiff upper lip attitude that Liz showed during the Lady Di ghoul-fest, I found it admirable, and was too busy laughing at the silly twit of a Prime Minister.<br /><br />WriterX: The Royals are known as very "horsey" people.

BUT, such a policy needs to be rational and beneficial to people.<br /><br />And one of the things that bothers me so much about "environmentalists" is that they are socialists masquerading as environmentalists. They are ruining a good cause to promote sickening social policy.<br /><br />Nothing highlights that more than a fool like Prince Chuck trying to (1) scaremonger (2) about a "problem" based on bad science and lunatic math and (3) blame capitalism for that supposed problem.<br /><br />First, as we noted before, only 3.27% of carbon emissions are man made. Thus, even if carbon was a problem, it can in no way be shown to be capitalism's fault.<br /><br />Secondly, anyone who has ever visited a communist or ex-communist country will see that capitalist countries are virtually pollution free compared to what socialism has achieved.<br /><br />Finally, how can the world's biggest welfare recipient know anything about capitalism?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-15786758996355993482009-07-12T09:22:15.716-04:002009-07-12T09:22:15.716-04:00Coffee enemas????? lol!

That's the look of a woman who is absolutely determined to outlive her heir-apparent. And God love Liz, I think she may just pull it off.<br /><br />A more serious reminder is that Charlie Boy has indicated that he would take the title of "Defender of Faith" rather than the traditional "Defender of <i>the</i> Faith." Even the Labour Party balked at that one. They choked at the idea of a king who merrily defended the faith that is quickly replacing Christianity in strength and numbers while building a mosque designed to dwarf the Houses of Parliament. He'd better pray to whatever god he prays to that Liz passes on to that great throne room in the sky before the Tories take over the government. Otherwise, the Alfred E.
