You know, Zero doesn't have to go to England. There's no need to snub them repeatedly.

You know you don't have to post. Socio does just fine in your absence.

Sounds like Zero should have let the Queen rent you or one of his other fluffers for an evening. Would have been a better gift.

If he'd given him an expensive gift, wouldn't all you righties have bombasted him about that, too?

there's no winning. they would have said omg he's giving away our national heritage or hiking up the defecit by giving an expensive or meaningful gift

I'm really disappointed that Obama would even meet with the Queen and her husband. Obama should be pressing the British to abolish their monarchy.

Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal per se, but it is an awfully strange gift to an 85 year old woman; Queen or not. Unless she has unusually fantastic eyesight for her age she'll never bother staring at that little micro-screen

On the one hand I regret to say it perfectly represents our shallow consumer 'goodie' oriented culture. For someone who is supposedely an intellectual it seems decidedly un-intellectual.

Do we not have anything of cultural significance to offer? No literature, no art work? Just a common and fleeting consumer bauble?

On the other hand you would have made a great Court Jester for her. No wait, a Village Idiot isn't the same as a Court Jester

As long as they can ship it back to the U.S. the government will honor the warranty.

Well compared to a Jaguar it might be a step up.
