Yeah, this is the new trending topic on the interweb. Personally, I can't much be bothered. I do love how the basic feeling on the news media is "Princess Kate is in labor...what happens now?" Uh, usually people in labor pump out a unit after a few hours or so, right?

What about you guys?

Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name

Your Steak Well Done,

I could give nowt two shits unless they give it a stupid name and The Daily Mail* will run hourly updates on 'Prince Tupac' or 'Princess Peach' or something. Kim & Kanye have thrown down the stupid baby name gauntlet and I don't expect the challenge to go unheeded. 200-1 odds are on them calling it Barack...

*who am i kidding, the entire British press machine has been constantly mad about it for months, can't expect it to stop once the little sprog is born.

But yeah, I'm not exactly what you call a royalist so IDGAF otherwise.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

There is something wrong with this country that so many people are fawning over the birth of a royal baby who is going to experience luxury that many of fawning public could only dream of. There is something disturbing about celebrating the birth of a child whose ancestors were adept at stealing money and land from our ancestors. Why there are people camped outside the hospital i don't know. I believe strongly like our american friends that no one should be born into a position of power the royal family stands for everything i am against.

Because they're clueless eejits, next question. Bet they were the same people lining the road for Thatchers funeral too. Or making me late for work during the Royal Wedding. We Brits love a bit of senseless royal pageantry!

I can forgive people liking the royals because it makes them feel more british or whatever even though i disagree them. The people lining the streets at thatchers funerals however they are either ignorant or have no heart.

BREAKING NEWS   ...

A plume of white smoke has been seen coming from the palace.  Either we have a third in line to the throne  ..  or they are having a BBQ.

Maybe they're burning off some excess 10 Pound notes which were taking up too much space in the palace. They need to put all the gifts and stuffed bears somewhere, right?

(Disclaimer - I don't know how to access the pound currency symbol on my keyboard...)

Christopher Hitchens wrote a great critique of the British monarchy and the cult around it. I'll never understand it. I don't know how bad the cult of personality is over there but over here I think most Americans wouldn't mind living under the royal family.

Personally, I think the royal family is just an example of a bunch of idiots trying to cling desperately onto their failed empire.

The royal family hardly has any real power. They're just pampered to the extreme and cause everyone's taxes to sky rocket.

In reality, the power lies within parliament.

I do realise this even if they are powerless the idea of having an unelected official being the only person that can sign bills into law is against my political philosophy. The royal family are an anachronism in modern society we have no use for them and should become a republic.

I wonder if everyone in the room will have a good laugh when the doctor observes that the royal baby is crowning.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

He may have given us the dictionary but Dr Johnson represented everything you right wingers hate about England? Even then, he's a terrible guy.

Ahh, let the Royal champagne of the finest vintage flow, let the Cuban cigars be pulled from the humidor, the celebration shall commence!

For the rest of us, bubblegum cigars all around.
