I will always love Elizabeth for having the Coldstream Guards play "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the "changing of the guard" ceremony on September 12. It may sicken some of my ancestors and even a probable cousin or two in the very pro-IRA town of Newry, but for me it's England, Harry and St. George! after that.

But, still, didn't we fight a revolution sometime in the past so we didn't need to pay attention to stuff like "Queen Elizabeth Hospitalized"?
