The Wedding

Watching the destruction of Princess Diana by the Palace and her adulterous husband Prince(I would love to be your tampon) Philip I had decided not to watch this wedding. But this afternoon I bumped into the wedding from the beginning (rerun) and watching Prince William handle his new bride like a treasured gift, brought such tears. Retracing his steps where he walked behind his mother's casket, having to live with the knowledge that her heart was broken by his own father, who then married the woman he'd been screwing as Diana tried to fill her days with anything to live with her depression and pain for being nothing more than a baby factory for the palace. So I took away some thoughts from watching this young man who clearly still honors his mother's memory and inherited her character and sense of gratitude for what he's been given in this life. Having suffered such a loss and having dealt with much of the entire episode in a public manner, and who knows what he was not allowed to say or feel-whatever, he became a man any mother would weep with joy to behold on his wedding day. There is a saying that you should marry a man who loves you more than you love...such a marriage will remain secure, if you tend to it and nurture it. It seems that at the very least these two love equally and perhaps William loves Kate for reasons so deep and private, having first become friends in college. His ignoramous of a father said, when asked about the wedding announcement, "About time, they've been practicing long enough..." These are the words of a man who so tormented his wife she literally went mad from grief and yet produced amazing boys and left a legacy of good works and charity. US media, as I channel surfed, seemed to go out of their way to ignore the wedding. A wedding noted as the Wedding of the Century. The King of Tonga, the Sultan of Brunei, likely other governmental officials and not one mention of an American representing the administration. England has served with us in Iraq, Afghanistan, helped with Libya...is security the real issue for not inviting the american president? Was there no American worth inviting? Truly bizaare. And in the meantime, there are hundreds of people dead from hurricanes and tornados, loss of homes, businesses, thousands of people homeless and once again there is a silence from the WH. Governors declaring state of emergency and no president sitting in the oval office rallying the country. He remains the impotent false god he was since day one. All those months wasted on health care that is only creating a confused mess and expensive one at that. Instead of creating jobs, telling people that entrepeneurship is the way to start up new jobs. How many cupcake bakeries will it take to restart America's economy? How many street carts selling tacos and overstuffed sandwiches are needed to get things back to 'normal'? What we really need is someone to define The New Economic Normal for Americans; clearly this president doesnt have the dimension or ability to do it, he sent Bernanke out to mumble and spin debt ceiling BS. Instead we are being told a depression worse than the one in 2008 is coming in 2011. People are openly admitting they are turning annuities and other investments into actual gold and silver, not paper, metals they can hold and be ready to trade for food, shelter in the coming mess. So all the prayers read for the new couple included mention of their new life against a backdrop of a difficult world all around. But that they symbolize hope, as any new couple marrying ideally would embody. For all the thousands of immigrants who flooded into England from the middle east, who depend on the government for housing, food and financial support, those same who rioted not long ago because prices were going up, tuition was going up, jobs were going down, living on 'the dole' was becoming more difficult...where were all the ingrates who leave their homelands run by dictators, who suck up everything they can, just as they do in the US and then sit back, avoid becoming fully integrated into the societies they move to..where were they to cheer on the new faces of England, the hope of their futures in England as well as a reflection of the best of what two young people can become, despite hardships. G-d protect them from temptation of all kinds and keep them on track to become exemplary political leaders.
