Another One Bites the Dust

Well, it's real and they're freaking out a bit on the other side of the pond. Cadbury, the inventor of the chocolate bar, the company that every British kids grows up loving is no longer British. The international mega-corp Kraft has bought Cadbury. Is this the final blow to the Empire?

Sir Jean-Luc?

There's nothing like knighthood. It's an essential difference between America and Britain: no peerage. Nowadays that translates to Obama not being able to bestow the coolest honor on anyone. I mean really, the Kennedy Honors? Leave it to the U.S. to turn something that's cool into a TV special. And in the UK, you get to change your name.

But strange that an actor made famous for playing a Frenchman made the top of the list. But he did do a lot of plays by that English playwright from Stratford.

So, congrats to Sir Patrick Stewart. I wonder if it comes with land in Cardassia Prime or something.
