Funny English Interlude

So Prince Charles, the Crown Prince of Wales, will be marrying his true love finally. The Queen is not attending the ceremony and the Brit royal watchers are clucking that she might not be attending because she is the head of the Church of England and this is a wedding of two divorced people.... This is not the first time the divorce issue has come up. There was talk about whether Charles could become King because of his divorce... Well this is why this is so funny. The issue of divorce and the King (or Future King) is not new. Silly Brits, the only reason why you have a Church of England is because your King Harry (Henry VIII) wanted to get a divorce, and installed himself as the head of the new Church of England PURELY for this reason (ok, and also to steal all the Catholic Church lands). It is pretty silly to say that Charles couldn't become King (and thus head of the Church of England) because of his divorce or that that is the reason why the Queen won't attend (because of her role as Head of the Church) when you frankly would have no Church of England for them to lead if not for the philandering ways of one of your kings. Get some perspective (and no the Queen should not wear a pants suit either- for those of you who remember that "scandal" of January 2003)!
You should be devoting your time to helping shame your government into shaming MY government for our horrendous acts around the world. The USA is really screwing up a lot of things: world stability, the environment, world court etc, and you are worried about Prince Charles getting married without his mum in attendance... Then again I only know about this because OUR media is covering it so clearly we are also pretty silly.
Memo to the Today Show, President Bush had a RINGER in the White House Press Corps who also happened to be a prostitute!!!!!!! Why are you talking about who will or will not attend Prince Charles' wedding!
