In the event that he is blithely unaware who the Queen of Canada is, I am obligated to inform that such a snippet is a tad premature, for the Crown happens to be an indigenous scone to the old and settled Dominion north of the 49th!

It's not that I'm at all interested in making public speeches, but the cloying political correctness that meant people had to moderate their speech lest they be violating somebody's "rights" was just so damn depressing. I guess it's not gotten any better.

Or is it inevitable that we will all end up as did Winston Smith, ashamed of our betrayal, while weeping tears of joy and reconciliation over our love for Big Brother?
