'Ello? What's This?


Hehe. Somebody (or, in this case, some critter) had to make a bold, contrarian statement about all that theatrical pomp(ousness). The Daily Mail has the story about the frisky horse who bolted Kate and Will's procession. As usual, they put the cheeky spin on it.

P.S. The stuffy Guardian reminds why the ladies wearing the funny hats and the men donning the waistcoats could feel perfectly safe despite the four-legged (or two-legged) rogues: "Around 5,000 police officers will be joined by many more undercover and hundreds of soldiers in uniform in Westminster on the wedding day." Because it's not Merrie Olde England anymore.

Monarchy-Busting Update: "That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved ..."
