8am September 9, 2022, The Queen is still dead. This is going to dominate the media [View all]

coverage for 10 days now. One talking head after another is on the TV basically saying the same damn thing over
and over. I turn on MJ and CNN to hear the news that matters, and it is all about the Queen. Why do we have this
fascination for a filthy rich dysfunctional family? I am sorry she passed away, but she was 96 years old. Talk about
oligarchs this one family ruled for centuries and even today they support them when they have no function other than
a tourist attraction. I have more respect for Harry than the entire family, he got out.
