Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Be wary. It's April Fools Day. Every now and then, someone pulls off a good one. So, don't get snookered if you see a story pop up that says "Republicans have an idea." You'll know it's a joke.

The President and First Lady are still in London. Later today, they have an audience with the British Queen, Mrs. Windsor. I just can't take seriously any country that still has a monarch. It's a ridiculous waste of money and just runs counter to every thing about democracy. In that respect, I guess I fit the definition of a republican as "Someone who favors social equality and opposes aristocracy and privilege." Power should rest with the people. In the U.S., Republicans (with a capital R) are the exact opposite of republicans. Our GOP thinks the elite moneyed interests should rule while opposing social equality.

On with the show...
