Obama and the emperor
More here, here and here. And a note about monarchism:

... ignorantly believing the nonsense so many millions of American kids were taught at schools about how George III was like Hitler, only even worse?

Joseph Sobran, as you probably know, once wrote: “King George didn’t care a hoot whether you smoked or how much water your toilet tank held.”

Or the Queen and Prince Charles (almost met him once; if only he’d turned to his left not to his right) most likely don’t want to run your life; they only wish everybody would remain calm and do their duty. The kind of Canadian who wants a republic probably does want to.

P.S. Hooray for the Red Ensign. Dief the Chief was right.
