If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none.

Queen Elizabeth II – our Queen, our head of state – celebrating her diamond jubilee, last friday, with at dictators. Included on the guest list was the king of Bahrain, whose regime has been accused slaughtering human rights activists.
