Who really gives a hoot about Harry and Megan, other than themselves; folks interested in ratings, like Oprah and Anderson; and my late Mother, maybe. She loved reading about the Royals and had a subscription to Magesty magazine, but was also a stickler about manners and decorum and would likely have had a thing or two to say about the current debacle.
For that's what it is...just like what's going on in Congress at the moment. A handful of Republican Whiner-Babies taking us ALL hostage for an increase in followers, that's what's important nowadays. Let's consider the most recognizable, at least on TikTok: Lauren Bobert, a former bar owner who didn't graduate high school; Matt Gaetz, who's pushing for Jim Jordan between ass-kissing DJT; and White Supremecist Marjorie Taylor Green, who's been a member of Congress since last year. OK, she did vote for McC, but she's still annoying. There are more, of course, but for some reason those three really get my goat, and I don't mean Greatest of All Time. Nobody under 40 will bother to look up that expression, I'm wasting my words.
But back to Harry. Slandering his Dad the King and step-Mom for a few bucks (it probably is, in their social circle). And who hasn't had a physical altercation with a sibling (or wanted to)? Sometimes it's best to get things out, over and done with.
William might be the older brother, but he's been dealing with Harry's schenanigans for much longer than we've had to. If Harry's recent interviews (I could only watch a portion of Oprah's before thinking "Whine, whine, what are your REAL motives?" ) and book (of course he's the Spare - they've called second-born royal siblings that for...ever?) are any indication of what's been romping around the palace for decades, I'd want to smack him, too.
And may I just say, haven't you ever heard an Adult poke fun at the parentage of their children, or other people's? Or disputing emerging from the same womb? Come on, now.
Harry sounds like big-time Sour Grapes, and if (they're) hoping to curry the American public's favor, they're having the opposite effect, at least in my case. Which generation are they targeting? Sounds to me like Harry in particular needs ongoing therapy, where he can spill his unsubstantiated bile in private.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm saving all the money I can in order to escape these Whiner-Babies when they start advocating for Soyant Green. That's a movie adapted from a 1966 sci-fi novel, Make Room! Make Room!, set in, talk about coincidence, 2022. Here's the premise (fm Wikipedia):
"The story follows a murder investigation in a dystopian future of dying oceans and year-round humidity caused by the greenhouse effect, with the resulting pollution, depleted resources, poverty, and overpopulation.The poor live in squalor, haul water from communal spigots, and eat highly processed wafers: Soylent Red, Soylent Yellow, and the latest product, far more flavorful and nutritious, Soylent Green.
"Our hero (Charleton Heston) secretly boards a waste truck transporting human bodies from the euthanasia center to a waste disposal plant where he witnesses human corpses being processed and turned into Soylent Green. Seriously wounded in a gun battle, hero shouts to the surrounding crowd, "Soylent Green is people!"
It seems absurd, but is it? There are increasing signs of climate change all over the world, but nothing will get done; not if they can't even decide on the Speaker of the House. Blast Kevin if he really caves to things like a single voice forcing a vote to oust the current Speaker, this will go on ad nauseum.
Maybe he just wants to be King for a Day. (Who...Kevin or Harry?)
I agree on alllllll your points!
ReplyDeleteA good rant!
