Dining with the queen while Rome burns
Is anybody else a bit baffled by the royal visit? It looks like they dropped some serious cash on the white-tie event the other night.
Given the state of the world, hosting a lavish party for a figurehead while American and British troops are treated to MREs seems a bit - how should I say this? - cruel.
I'm not suggesting they take her out to Dennys (on the other hand, she's probably never been to one), but I'm sure that money could have been spent elsewhere to much greater benefit for both nations.
