“And I’ll get flamed for hell about this but except for Her Majesty, Prince Phillip, and Colin Powell it just looked like everyone was dressed up to go to the cotillion down at the Crawford Country Club. A very stark reminder that tradition trumps power”

Pomposity to impress the little people or each other.

Should have had a hog roast and a kegger. Would have had more fun. Tequila jello shots... mud rasslin.

Crass. There is a time and place for everything. Last night was not it. But in some aspects it seemed just short of it.
