Quote of the Day (Christopher Hitchens, on Kate and the Royals)

“Myself, I wish her well and also wish I could whisper to her: If you really love him, honey, get him out of there, and yourself, too. Many of us don't want or need another sacrificial lamb to water the dried bones and veins of a dessicated system. Do yourself a favor and save what you can: Leave the throne to the awful next incumbent that the hereditary principle has mandated for it.”—Christopher Hitchens, "Beware the In-Laws: Does Kate Middleton Really Want to Marry Into a Family Like This?”, Slate, April 18, 2011
