Most Noble and Honorable Nonsense
“The most noble and honorable order of the garter” Say What?! What?!
From Saint George’s Cathedral – wall to wall news coverage – out of incessant droning those words caught my ear.
Where’s Monty Python when you really need them? Lost in time dear fellows.
The spectacle like Extreme MAGA fantasies of times gone by, glorious aggrandizement and utterly ridiculous with no hint of the embarrassment so thoroughly earned.
A farcical light shines on such arrogance. How much distance is there, really, from inherited monarchy, white power and knighthood?
Dennis the Peasant: “You can’t expect to wield supreme power just ‘cause of some watery tart threw a sword at you!”, - Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Me: You can’t expect pale skin and a tag of tissue to bestow American Aristocracy. The most noble and honorable order of What?!
Okay enough already. Back to the mid-terms.
