That is another grueling topic all by itself and we should not insult ordinary politicians, whether American, British or Rabbit, they are all animals and cannot help themselves.<br /><br />Long live ALL the EXCEPTIONALLY beautiful and brilliant British women like Ana, and especially, most especially, <br />Long Live the Queen.daniel.wheeler31088@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12166076731475045775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-22071536426248138322011-05-15T16:01:27.934-07:002011-05-15T16:01:27.934-07:00Rehan, the cat in the hat!

I woke up early to catch the entire broadcast, a truly splendid and blissfully British day. The order of service, though included hymns with words by 3 of the most radical Dissenters this country has created: Charles Wesley, William Blake, and John Milton. Bunhill Fields, the Dissenters’ cemetery (opposite the Wesley chapel), right in Westminster! Is William the great, austere, highminded envisioned of a new England; or the royals really do think they own everything – they don’t care, they can do what they like – !<br /><br />Usually these live broadcasts (of royal/national events) include a reading of the poet for the occasion by the Poet Laureate – (They also usually are narrated by one of the Dimbleboys). Not sure if it was shown on the BBC broadcast. I followed the ITV because I go all ga-ga over Julie Etchingham. It was quite a feat when I eventually found Carol Ann Duffy’s poem after a 2 day search. The ITV broadcast rocked & Julie looked spectacular in red.<br /><br />Check out my own playlist of the highlights <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/WickersPoet#grid/user/738E01C5FD7AD0E7" rel="nofollow">here</a> and my blog of poems for the occasion <a href="http://rehanqayoompoet.blogspot.com/2011/04/royal-wedding-poems.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Rehan Qayoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391797858691917631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-59785910765660438932011-05-02T15:26:32.072-07:002011-05-02T15:26:32.072-07:00CI, I know, I know!

I hope they reinvigorate the monarchy - whatever its future role in politics.<br /><br />One thing struck me as I watched Diana's boys: I can easily imagine them leading from the front, however desperate the fight. When I look at most politicians, I see a gaggle of self-serving rabbits likely to flee at the first sign of danger.Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640148105202971907noreply@blogger.com
