After being carried through the streets of London in a flag-draped coffin aboard a gun carriage, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest this morning in St. Paul's Cathedral. But the big story of the day wasn't Maggie. No, it was a 19-year-old Texan who stole the show from the deceased Iron Lady.
With a poise reminiscent of the elder Thatcher, Amanda Thatcher, Margaret's granddaughter, delivered a reading from Epistles that has the British media agog. Amanda, who lives with her mother in Texas, chose a rather militant passage that calls on believers to "put on the whole armour of God."

Well done Amanda! I am proud that you are a Richmond Spider.
Maybe it is a random event. I occasionally get it from Breitbart and that doesn’t make me happy either.
That is an attractive young lady. I wonder if she really behaves the same way? If she does, what a catch.
Bet the protesters don’t have anyone who looks that beautiful or could even read. Classy.
Thank You Lady Thatcher
True. Obama would just grandstand and defile the funeral by his presence.
Wow..
I didn’t know Margaret Thatcher had a granddaughter living in Texas. But it fits.
Now that's one heck of a piece of trivia. However did you find that out? (Enquiring minds want to know!)
Try this, it works for me most of the time.

You can read the whole thing, and see the video, without problems.
Unless you use IE. Then, you’re on your own!
Neither the Quisling-in-Chief or the Vice-Idiot received an invitation to the funeral...on purpose. The Brits obviously wanted a dignified ceremony, NOT a Bama photo op.
Invited: US President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are considering whether to be at Baroness Thatcher's funeral next week
Uhhh. This says otherwise and I have read it elsewhere. It also said that all living presidents were invited.
love it!!!!!!!!!!
Those heathens must have been burning while she read that.
I pray the helmet of salvation, shield of faith, swordd or of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, belt of truth and shoes of the gospel of peace upon my children, myself and our guardian angels every day, sometimes several times a day.
oh and the breastplate of righteousness
Amanda had the hoi-poi squirming in their seats.... Good girl.
Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
The Apostle Paul is the author of Ephesians
And are therefore every bit as qualified to be president some day as that guy occupying the White House.
...but I do know she saved Britain.
That's not militant in any way.
Will she be eligible to run for president?
