Despite higher security with the arrival of Bush in London, or maybe because of it, reporter from the Daily Mirror yesterday revealed that using false credentials he got a job as a Palace Guard.

As conflicted as I feel about bringing attention to the Royal family (negative or positive) the details in this story are just too good to pass up.

On a related note, George W. Bush just never ceases to amaze me. During his speech at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, Mr. Bush acknowledged that he is not a very popular visitor. "I've been here only a short time, but I've noticed the tradition of free speech, exercised with enthusiasm, is alive and well here in London. We have that at home, too."

Need I say more?
