O, a military fly over at a wedding.
Whatever reason, that was a little weird, IMHO. Switching channels desparately looking for something to watch. Going outside soon as the dew melts off the grass. I hope they have a different path than their parents. That's all I'm gonna say. Except that our American MEdia (Mika) said that they can't find any signs of austerity in London. Guess they are gonna have to come home and find some.

1. I am watching Inspector Gadget Jr.
Seems somehow more real than those fairy tale idiots.

2. A military flyover?
I don't mind a military flyover of the "royal" wedding as long as it's a flyover by a predator drone. A Pakistan/Afghanistan-style predator drone flyover that is. It's exactly what's needed to get this "royal" wedding bullshit over with.

Maybe the drone could "flyover" Joe and Mika too as an added benefit.

3. Lol... "Drone Strike Kills 20 At English Wedding In Flyover Mishap"

How many weddings have had unexpected visitors in Iraq and Afghanistan anyway?

4. It's OK. Our predator drones only kill bad guys.
I know because our holy military told me so.

9. Not strange at all -
William is a captain in the Royal Air Force and a fly-over is a nice tribute. So too were the planes used. The first 3 were a Spitfire, a Hurrican and a Lancaster from WW II. The second 4 were 2 Typhoons and 2 Tornados. It was awesome watching the Spit, the Lancaster and the Hurrican fly over. I wish I could have seen it in person.
