Prince Harry … has always been “frustrated” by comparisons to his uncle. “It was never fair to lump them together,” an insider [said]. “Harry served his country, did the job well and never engaged in misconduct — yet lost security and housing, while Andrew was protected for years.”
Let Cecil Beaton’s terse eulogy for Evelyn Waugh be also the eulogy (he hasn’t died yet) for Andrew M-W.
UD loves Beaton’s clever statement, and was sorry to see, years after using variants of it in many contexts, that she’d been misquoting it. He actually wrote So Evelyn Waugh is in his coffin. Died of snobbery.
Some worries up in Quebec about how Biker Boy blessings might have to get municipal approval if tighter secularism laws get passed.
Sorry, but UD’s loving the verbal fallout. Keep it coming!
Wishing does not make it so.
Nice example of ambiguity.
And there goes the lapdog owners vote.

”[T]he court sends the blunt message that Trump should not expect SCOTUS to rubber-stamp all of his expansions of executive power, no matter how much political pressure he puts on the justices.”
By indulging Andrew from an early age, the Queen nurtured and shaped the sweating, bombastic buffoon that may yet bring the whole edifice crashing down.

What’s more fun to read — reviews of ‘Wuthering Heights’ the movie, or reviews of Andrew Mountbatten?
UD says it’s a toss-up.
Stupidity and arrogance — the very heart of the thing.
Canadian doo-doos are now deep in doo-doo.
… but there’s nothing all that funny about a system that nurtures and protects high-born degenerates. Something to think about as we enjoy the cheap thrill of the queen of England’s son in handcuffs.
You can pity this family, which perished on a brutally hot California hike because they had no understanding of what they were walking into; you feel less empathy for this more recent dead group. They, and the tour company that led them into a massive storm/avalanche (lawsuits incoming), knew perfectly well they assumed a humongous risk.
Why why why? Everyone’s asking.
UD thinks a lot of it is bragging rights – same thing that leaves frozen bodies on Everest.
