The Victoria Age

On the way over from Merrie Olde Englande, the Puritans completely lost their sense of humor.

And now that the United States of America is the laughing-stock of the rest of the planet for any of myriad reasons, we have no ability to laugh at ourselves.

Enter Victoria & David Beckham, the diplomats of our time.

Unfortunately, I didn't mark their flight time on my calendar, but ever since they made their debut, Posh & Becks have been getting the good old American cold shoulder!

And why? Because they know what it is to be famous, and they are parodies of American indulgence [Paris Hilton is master] to a degree that we can NOT find funny. We want to act like that!

The American intelligentsia plays it objective, the masses revolt, while the Brits are laughing their asses off!
