Royal Wedding and a Sea Funeral

This year seems to keep on being eventful for one reason or the other good or bad. This past week added to the list a few things which would be remembered for quite some time to come. The weekend started off with the Royal Wedding and the only way you could have avoided hearing anything about it was if you were a hermit and had no form of communication with the outside world and none whatsoever with women, as every other reference made way to the couple in the midst of the whole drama. The TV ratings would have soared and every single guy in their right mind would have contributed to the National Geo breaking records just to avoid hearing anything about it for at least two weeks prior.
The Seal team the following Monday made sure we would not discuss the royal wedding by gatecrashing the royal couples after party with a groundbreaking, involving a crashing chopper thus giving the term a literal meaning, news by assasinating Americas Public Enemy number One, Saddam Hussein......errr...no sorry that was a couple of years ago, it was Osama Bin Laden this time. Yes, after almost 11 years and 5 reports of him being dead some being of natural causes, the American troops finally won the famous hide and seek game and surprise surprise it didn't come in a cave in the remote hills of Afghanistan but in the dead (no pun intended) silent town of Abbotabad barely a few stones throw away from a military base. Now before we get all judgmental about the mental-lity of the Pakistani Army and it's alleged association with terrorist groups, you have to give all the credit, or whatever you can muster up, to Bin Laden for coming up with the bright idea of building a $1 million mansion right next to the military base for who would have thought the man with the multi million $$ reward on his head would be bunked up at that odd looking expensive compound next door to the base which may I add doesn't even have a proper phone line forget a decent internet connection.
There still seems to be the controversy that all this is just a big gimmick and that it is all but just a ploy to kickstart the re-election campaign and all but lets not get into all that now.
Here's just hoping Hugh Grant doesn't get the idea of script and give us a "Royal Wedding and a Sea Funeral"
