Recently, the Queen of England came and went (Carter had some interesting comments here in a post titled “Send the Queen Home”).
Isn’t it totally absurd that any modern country has a heredity ruler (figurehead, whatever)?
Jeremy Paxon (author of On Royalty: A Very Polite Inquiry Into Some Strangely Related Families) was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart a couple nights ago. Paxon called the monarchy “antique, illogical and democratically indefensible” (after about three minutes of a meager justification – some indecipherable stuff about the embodiment of a nation blah, blah, blah).
It really just makes no sense.

It is wearisome striving to count the time we have used up tracking down antique furniture info.
