Heard on the news this morning that there’s an idiot priest in England that’s going to have a demonstration on Friday ‘cause he wants to overthrow the royals.
Does he think he will become king?
Any thoughts from across the pond would be appreciated.
If he wants to overthrow the royals, my guess is that he doesn’t want to be king. But maybe Lord Protector.
The American system of having what Bagehot called the ‘dignified’ (head of state) and ‘efficient’ (head of government) elements of our constitution in one person doesn’t work very well, especially after we ignored Washington’s (and Madison’s) advice and adopted the two-party oligarchy system of government. The flag and fireworks and parades are no substitute for a human being who holds his or her position independent of party.
Newfoundland is a beautiful place to visit in the summer. I can hardly wait to see them kiss the cod, drink a glass of schreech and head for George Street.

Considering their request concerning wedding gifts, is this implying that Newfoundland is a charity case?

Such a thoughtful gift! It will go so well with the Channel Islands.

Is that Newfoundland or a Newfoundland? (Hint: A Newfoundland is bigger).
