It's just about that time of year again. Veteran's Day, formerly known as Armistice Day. I'm not going to offer any homilies on the immense gratitude we owe the members of our armed forces, but I thought I'd at least note the passage of this day.
On a completely unrelated note: how did Prince Charles expect to quell whatever scandal he's denying by refusing to let the papers print it? It seems so bizarre to me, and reminds me of the following classic Simpsons quote:
"What is it with you kids and my forbidden closet of mystery?"
- Police Chief Clancy Wiggum
Plus, details of the scandal are slowly leaking out in a remarkably similar way to how companies hype their new products or studios hype their new releases. If I were a crackpot conspiracy theorist, I'd say that the royals wanted people to be absolutely spellbound by this whole thing. Of course, I don't know why they'd have any motive for this, but that's why I'd have to be a crackpot. This leads me to speculate on what the life of a crackpot must be like, and whether there's any money in it. Is it a professional occupation? Can you put it on business cards?
I really shouldn't write journal entries unless I've had enough sleep.
