William and Kate....
Charles and Di......
Who's invited?
Who got snubbed?
What is she wearing?
What is he wearing?
WHO CARES?
This is the United States not the United Kingdom!
If it were really important Walmart would be closed, there would be no mail delivery and the NHL would cancel their playoff games.
Since none of those are happening, why is every mainstream media outlet sending people to England to report on the Royal Pain of a wedding? Why do Americans think this is an event worth hearing about? The grocery checkout rag magazines and newspapers are flying off the shelves. Put the royal wedding in a headline and it will be gone in sixty seconds. Sort of reminds me of the time when everything in the stores had Martha Stewart on the label. That didn't last long till she washed out. They didn't learn from that.... they went to everything being Hannah Montana endorsed products. Everything from shoes to Mac'n'cheese had to say Hannah Montana. The retailers that fell for that took a big hit when the crap stayed in the stores for months.
But now it is William and Kate. didn't the colonists fight to get away from the rule of the Crown? So now our media is acting like the Crown is still in power in America when in fact it has no real power on the other side of the Atlantic.
Personally I will be happy once the wedding is history and we can focus on what really affects Americans. Idiocy in Washington, Idiots in Springfield an unbalanced budget that doesn't appear to be fixable.
But then neither is or main stream media.
