What is the sudden need to hand out a gong to this man who publicly hated citizens of the United Kingdom? Should I buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate something? If it's necessary to award an American politician an honour why not give him Lord Ahmed's ermine dressing gown?
I hereby nominate an American who really deserves an honorary knighthood.

There's a bit I think in one of PJ O'Rourke (PBUH)'s articles when Teddy visited Northern Ireland during the Troubles (illegal war of civilian-garbed terrorists targeting UK civilians) and he approached a British Army [they're the ones in the uniforms who had to shout a warning before opening fire, the bloodthirsty bastards] checkpoint, and asked the poor squaddie on guard:
'Why don't you just go home?'...for the accompanying camera crews.
The squaddie [knight him now, if he's still alive after a career actually serving democracy]replied:
'Why don't you?'
I remember that. It was actually shown on the television news and the squaddie said, as I recall, 'this is my home. Why don't you?'
Verification word for this comment: 'Wisemon'.
Wisemon - hope you're not turning scotch!
