Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, all kept you entertained if nothing else.Theresa Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934415969408365200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116806628922106711.post-87864920192310519722010-11-08T05:20:59.880-05:002010-11-08T05:20:59.880-05:00Interesting...

The belgian king only has a ceremonial function anyway, but the King we have now is just a weak figure and boring as hell, and he has no power or influence or whatever.<br /><br />For me Boudewijn I (Baudouin?), who died when I was a young teenager is the last king of belgium. He was a person of character and knew what he was doing. I don't see any king like him coming back soon, so I guess our monarchy may not be worth saving anyway...<br /><br />BramAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116806628922106711.post-10574059432027844752010-10-28T12:54:04.455-04:002010-10-28T12:54:04.455-04:00No problem, you have a wonderful blog!No problem, you have a wonderful blog!Theresa Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934415969408365200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4116806628922106711.post-13986748340920694022010-10-28T11:17:57.469-04:002010-10-28T11:17:57.469-04:00Thank you very much for the kind mention.Thank you very much for the kind mention.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.com
