Off-Topic Friday: The Queen

If she had any power, she could have me killed.  Of course, if she had any power, I wouldn't be writing a thing about her being a figurehead.

So after the president and his wife visited England and apparently breached protocol when they met with the queen, I just have to ask: Who the fuck cares?

Honestly, it makes no fucking difference whether this woman is offended or not.  None.  She is a figurehead.  She is a relic of a useless tradition.  Who cares that we gave her an iPod?  You know what she gave the Obamas?  A painting of herself and Prince Charles.  You want to talk awful gifts, that’s where you start.  Who wants a painting of two ugly people?  I don’t.

But even more than the gift thing, a bunch of people have been getting on Michelle Obama for touching the queen’s back.  And again, I don’t see the big deal.  I mean really, can she not be touched?  Does she decay with a human touch on her clothing?  And even if she did, who would miss her?  The UK would go on.  They’d be fine.  She doesn’t even do anything.

I just can’t see why any of this matters to anybody who doesn’t have to fill 24 hours on a cable news station.

  1. British people care, so shut up and don’t get involved in our politics you brash, stupid, opinionated and incredibly ignorant American. Our Royal family is a tradition, there is no need to criticise it as it is purely ornamental. Don’t comment upon something you don’t understand. It sickens me that we have to hear your political news in the UK. I couldn’t give shit about American politics, but that doesn’t mean I criticise it.
