Have you considered the role he’s playing? He was a blacksmith, the bastard son of a knight who became a lord in the Holy Land. He becomes one himself but knows that his past makes him suspect. He’s kind of supposed to be wary and “wooden” around this noble-born princess/queen of Jerusalem. Maybe I’m wrong. Yeah, Bloom…

Don’t buy the “outright racist” garbage. He has his blind spots but he loves Harry and I doubt he’d fail to appreciate a strong-minded woman.

The royal family has a long history with “actresses” as paramours of Kings and Princes who couldn’t stand or were bored by their wives.

The marriages of Vic’s daughters and grand-daughters were supposed to bring other European royal houses into the modern age, like Britain’s, where the royals stood as an example of prosperous middle class virtues. Alix, though, fell under the spell of Russian mysticism and the one who married into the German royals…

I don’t know about “them” but I’ve been told that the Brits are generally quite fond of the old couple and of Anne, who is much her father’s daughter with a little more of her mother’s restraint.  Anne is also very hardworking in “the firm.”

While viewing the gifts sent by foreign dignitaries to Philip and Liz for their wedding, the Queen Mum and Queen Mary started making snide remarks about the bolt of cloth, woven on his own loom, sent by Ghandi. It was Philip who chided them into silence, describing the gift as a precious memento from one of the great…

To be exact, it was DeSNATIS who came in second, not DeSantis.

It wasn’t “the left.”  If LaRouche occasionally ran as a Democrat, it was for convenience and the party never embraced him in any fashion.

Hard to have a working majority when you have to deal with Republican-Lite asshats like Manchin and Sinema.  At least now bills get hearings.

I’d like to see what any of his audience could dream up as any actual impingement on their “FREEEEE-DUUUUUMB” that is the fault of the Biden administration.

I’m sure Biden will have an awkward moment or two but, should it happen, his grin will be one of “Boy, isn’t this silly” as opposed to “See? I DO TOO have friends!”

Butter-and-potato-chip sandwiches on home-made white bread!

Real maple syrup warmed up and drizzled over vanilla ice cream, or over crumbled corn bread! We were not by any means wealthy, but my parents drew the line against Vermont Maid and Aunt Jemimah early on, for which I am forever grateful.  Real maple syrup or no syrup at all.  Honey in a pinch.

My dad loved chipped beef on toast.  I think it was an Army thing.

Hard pretzel sticks with cheerios threaded on them like little tires on an axle, and buttered. Good fine motor training!

Big League Chew, actually invented by a couple of baseball players.

I would still eat those, except that my mom, a hard-core Yankee, made a pretty good garlicy meat sauce.  If there was some of that left over, we’d put it on English muffins and top it with some cheese, usually cheddar, for an after-school snack.  Not gross at all, I know, but a GOOD food memory!

Be glad Trump lost.  He’d have turned it into a National historic Site and assigned guards.

On his not-short-enough-lived TV show, he once announced that the Clinton’s had acquired a “White House Dog” and held up a picture of thirteen year old Chelsea Clinton.  Limbaugh was a piece of shit and he didn’t suffer nearly enough.  I’m an atheist but in his case I’ll hope there is a hell.

I don’t get what his vision was. Did he expect that his Bedminster and Mar-A-Lago pals were going to march into the Capitol in their blazers and khakis, waving away any police opposition with the righteous disdain that come so easily to sellers of insurance and real estate? Did he think their dudgeon would be intense…
