Kevin Marshall's America
When it comes to the Royal Wedding of Kate and William Nolastname (actually it’s Mountbatten-Windsor but only if deemed absolutely necessary vis a vis bureaucratic nonsense), I was only looking forward to two things: it being over and the confirmation that after years of marrying and reproducing with cousins, there would now be two successive generations that forked the Royal family tree. Everything else was just tripe being forced on us like so much gruel.
I fought back against the onslaught for as long as I could with blog posts, snark on Twitter, and comments on Facebook. Then I saw a singular image, one so heartwarming and genuine that it gave me pause and gave me pride. Maybe it’s the 1/4th of me that’s British, or maybe it’s that at heart I’m not as bad a fellow as I let on, but when I saw this image I caved:

That’s Larry, the Downing Street Cat, celebrating the wedding of Will and Kate. Look at his bow!
And, like the Grinch, my heart grew three sizes this day.
Share it!

You let me down. Big time. Bigger than that British bow-tie.
Okay, Larry looks pretty sharp. I’ll give you that. What are his thoughts on the wedding hoopla?
Alan – …but look at him! He looks so fancy!
Ann – Larry said that unless he can pounce in the train dragging at the end of Kate’s dress, he could care less.
hahahahaha! so dapper. I imagine him meowing approvingly in a British accent
How embarrassing, I wore the same tie…
