I have to say, I really don't watch television, but that is truly classic. I think I read the list of who reads which papers quoted some years ago.

Safe to say, the ones that own the country, run the country.

The story of how they rounded up some family of minor German nobles to play royalty when the prior line faded, who then changed their name to Windsor, pretty much explains where the power is.

The family connection is that Wallace Warfield Simpson was a fourth cousin of my mother's and was well acquainted with my father's side.

One of the very old gents, think it was a Griswald, was over at the farm I work at, around the time of Charles' coronation. He says, hey Merryman, I got a story for you;

Apparently some old friend was about 10 in 36 and came down to breakfast and my grandfather was there, reading the paper. Where the news was of Edward abdicating for her. My grandfather's comment was, "That's ridiculous! I had her a few times and she wasn't that great!"
