Royal Pain

 

Am I the only one who is sick to death of the wedding of Prince William?  I mean seriously, we have the beatification of John Paul II going on in Vatican City (beatification, for those who don't know, is the third of four steps in the canonization process in which the deceased's passage into heaven is recognized and they are given the capacity to intercede on behalf of those who pray in their name.  A person who is beatified is given the titled "Blessed".).  The space shuttle Endeavor takes it's final voyage.  A massive tornado tears through Alabama killing nearly 300 people.  Another flare up in Libya with nearly 40 casualties.  Syrian forces kill 14 anti-government protesters in Daraa.  But let's forget all that... Prince What's-his-name is getting married!  How is this news?  Or more to the point... WHY is this news?  Do I care that the royal penis is finally seeing some action?  Does it make an iota of difference to me whether Prince William is married or not?  Is there a reason for me to care, even a little bit, about the wedding of a foreign prince?  Prince William is doing what literally tens of millions of people do all over the world every year. 

Get off your high horse, William.  You put your royal pants on one leg at a time... just like the rest of us.
