...a lot.

Time to bring it back. It can be the noun to my favorite alliterative string of "c" adjectives that I use for Trump - crass, common, coarse and crude clod.

...just that.

Like maybe -"Alliteration for the Asshole." People could be invited to contribute their own, either adding to the "c" list, or using other letters of the alphabet.

The Queen is everything he's not - respected, intelligent, curious, gracious, dedicated to her nation, and a veteran.

I'm a huge fan of Queen Elizabeth - this made my blood boil. Royalty aside, she's an amazing woman. I think they need to retire the name 'Elizabeth' from future successions because the first two will never be topped.

It was, of course, taken during the '76 Bicentennial, which made it that much more touching.

Thanks for posting!

...two people with a love of something in common.

I just looked through the pictures again and noticed that the Queen has to turn in her saddle and look BACK at RR. He is obviously holding his mount slightly to the rear of the Queen.

When one could count on one's president to, at the very least, be a gentleman.

With this one, were lucky he doesn't try to rape some princess with the cameras rolling (he once moved aggressively on Diana, so they say).

Gerald Ford was a handsome man. I remember having a secret crush on him.
