Say goodbye to the isssues

A few days ago I heard an interesting story on NPR (at least I think it was NPR. Sometimes I am inundated by so much information that I can’t remember where I heard something.) and it mentioned that the royal family in the United Kingdom may be a good thing for politics in the country. Those that are interested in the sex lives of the rich and famous tend to follow the ridiculous behavior of the pampered royal family. Any personal, thereby not newsworthy, personal misbehavior by their politicians is ignored unless it actually affects national security. What a novel concept.
