I have to admit I completely missed the recent coronation of King Charles the whatever. Mass shootings and our continued descent into fascism diverted my attention on this side of the pond. I was all set to watch a bit of the coronation re-play but then CNN decided to host a Trump rally, which sent me into yet another downward spiral that I'm still trying to pull myself out of. It's getting harder and harder to have any fun around here.
So I've been trying to catch up. I've seen pictures after the fact but that's it. Charles and his Queen Camilla. At least I think she's a queen now? (I just checked. She is) They both looked perfectly silly in their royal garb......Charles looking like a purple drag queen with a bejeweled chamber pot on his head, holding some sort of demonic looking orb with a cross sticking out of it. He probably would not have gotten out of Tennessee alive in his get-up. Camilla had her usual "oh shit, I hope Diana isn't watching" face on. I used feel bad for Camilla. None of this is her fault. But I have a rule that once you become queen I no longer feel bad for you. On the other hand, I never really felt bad for Charles. He always seemed a right twit, the guy you never want to get stuck sitting next to at the restaurant. About as interesting as a 10 pound bag of fertilizer.
