Queen Mum Dead Why is it that they will not be burying her until April 9? Anyway, Andrew Sullivan points us to this obit. To most people, she was simply a very old lady with a love of horse racing and expensive tastes, who was reported by the news media to enjoy a large overdraft.I hope some day that the same is said about me. Well, not the old lady part. I also appreciated HappyFunPundit's observations: I offer no judgement herein on the value or relevance of the monarchy. Like most Canadians, I regard the Royals with a mix of affection and amused contempt. My earliest associations with Queen Elizabeth II are of frustration at having to stop opening Christmas presents so the grownups could listen to the Queen's Christmas message... what could the boring old lady have to say that was more interesting than Christmas presents? If the Queen Mother was making the speech, she'd probably preface her remarks with "But I want the children to go right on opening presents while I talk"; that's how grandmas do things. As I got older, my impressions really didn't change much. The Queen herself always seemed a bit of a sourpuss, but the Queen Mom always seemed to be having great time. |
