You can kiss my royal ...

So let me get this straight: A man who is only known because his father is "royalty" (making him royalty) in a foreign country (that we so much did not want to be a part of anymore that we broke away from it and formed our own country) gets married and it is the main news story for the whole day?

And it's even shown live on TV and it is all over every channel!?!?!

Let's stop for a moment and think back to how this "prince" got in this position in the first place.

He is descended from a long list of people who originally claimed they were "royalty" because God willed them to be, because God wanted them to have more land, and the best land, and more food, and the best food, and more rights and freedoms than everyone else in the country.

He is descended from a long list of people who tortured and murdered citizens in the name of being "royalty" because God willed it.

And he is descended from the very rulers who ruthlessly oppressed the people who would become Americans.

This person is not special. These people are not special.

And they certainly do not warrant international news coverage for spending millions of dollars on a wedding during an international financial crisis.

Here is what I have to say about it! ...
