apparently there were no important developments in the world today, like exploding volcanos threatening lives, plane crashes with at least 100 dead. ongoing wars in many hotspots, fires and floods in various locations...as such it makes perfect sense that television news was dominated, indeed taken over by, the royal wedding in England, where the fourth in line for the crown (3rd is evidently a 4 year old boy, who's views may prove refreshing) finally tied the knot with his girlfriend...those skeptical of royal matters were likely reassured by the presence of celebrities like Clooney, Becks, Serena, Elton, Oprah, and HME-2 herself...back to sobering reality tomorrow one would guess, or at least by the end of the week
