It’s Good to Be the King
The media’s astir tonight over a comment Rick Perry made after the debate in New Hampshire:
[The] reason we fought the revolution in the 16th century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown.”
Yes, it would be nice if all of our presidential candidates were able to ballpark the date of the American Revolution within a decade or two of its occurrence.
But to be honest I’m more unsettled by the phrase “that kind of onerous crown.” I mean, is there another kind of onerous crown out there more to his liking?
