Where are we again?
When examining the news and the web, there's always a danger of getting lost, of finding yourself in places you never intended to be. KNN feels that acutely lately, not just because of the rare and beautiful weather outside of stately KNN Manor. No, there's more, and it's difficult to, well, place.
Frm MSNBC News: Oops! Lady Liberty Stamp is of Vegas replica It's a shame when you can't even trust your stamps. It's not "lift my lamp beside the Golden Horseshoe", folks.
Frm MSNBC News: Altoona, PA won't be with us much longer We know, everything's for sale. Even the dignity of a community. And a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But this, well, this just smells like old tuna.
And finally, not a link but a comment. With the royal wedding last week, we here at KNN have been considering the attraction that event had for our countrymen in the US. We've heard about the dress, the lingering admiration for Diana, the once in a lifetime event (okay, this is our second royal wedding for KNN, but you get the idea). But we think it may be something more. You see, a monarchy is an easily accountable form of government. One person to make decision, one person's decisions to complain about, one person to remove. We're not saying that there's any actual power behind the British monarchy and they make few life-altering decisions on any scale. But it would be nice to be able to point at someone who was on record as screwing up the US economy and say "you're fired." And there was a time when we actually did that, to King George III in that very kingdom we've been ogling for the past week. But then we took over management ourselves and now? It's not just that things are (still) bad (there and here), they're murky and not clearing and insensible. By Independence Day, the US will have largely forgotten about this blessed event, having had two more months of living in the death-of-a-trillion-cuts that is the US economy in 2011. We'll have no one to govern us, or complain about, or fire, but ourselves.
Until next time.
