I'd been wondering - not a lot, but a bit - about the wedding that is happening this weekend; it's all over the UK news. Now I realize: it's an American actress he's marrying, not the German Chancellor ... explains why I was getting those odd looks ...

Consider this - if they had a son he'd be an American and a British Royal at the same time. He could be the King of England and the President of the United States at the same time.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

They haven't quite spiced it up to Game of Thrones levels but there's a bit of spice - The groom: a ginger guy masquerading as a royal when actually he's the love child Diana (only a royal by marriage) and an officer in the British army (definitely not a royal!) The bride: an American divorcee (Wallis Simpson anyone?) and she's not white (I'm sure Phillip will have something awkward to say there....) Not that I'll be watching, it's FA Cup Final Day!

Consider this: Boris Johnson was born on the Upper East Side, New York - so he could be UK PM and POTUS at the same time after the next elections. Now, you think The Donald talks b*ll*cks ... :laugh:

That's not all. Under current US law, he would have to pay US income tax on his worldwide income. We thus have the interesting situation of the British Royal family paying taxes to the colonies, rather than receiving them. :D

Sending her off to England... don't give me any ideas.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I'm certain that the Chancellor will be quite happy to go to England. Your problem is that the English will send her right back. :)

To English would presumably refuse to accept delivery. They have enough home-grown incompetent politicians. :) (And I'm not mentioning the War! :) )

Unlikely. We have a habit of packing nasty things into rockets and sending them over the channel.
