Things of interest … to me, at any rate:

* Fergie — probably voted America’s Favorite Royal and England’s Least Favorite Royal — says we should give Prince Harry a break over the swastika thing. I agree, though it’s always amazing to me that public figures who live their lives in a really brightly lit goldfish […]
