Thoughtful gift from the Queen

[Shakespear]

OK, I admit it, I like my tin foil hat :-)

This story got me thinking as the current situation in Mexico, World and CCTV Land in UK makes this gift very Special !!!!

It appears that the Queen gave Felipe Calderon a first edition of George Orwell's nightmarish "1984".

Is that a hint there for Calderon to get on the same page?

Why not give him instead "Alice in Wonderland" ? Wonder what Obama got.

Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries.

Reminds me of reading how the Arabs or Indians have been exceedingly generous to British Royalty and all they received in return was a photograph of the Brits.

Now now Rajiv. Must abide by the rules of decorum here. Remember the Ox drawn Bentley with the gilded poop bags? That's when I figured out what an ardent Royalist you are, but you hide the light of your royalist ardor (sorry "ardour") under a bush so well!
