Concerning the Big News from across the Pond about Prince Charles and the enticing Camilla, I note the following from Jonah Goldberg's dad in "The Corner" www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/corner.asp

This reminds me that if the Windsors during World War One hadn't changed their dynastic name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the necktie knot would be known as the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha knot.

Ah yes, during the confusion of WW I and with some distrust of all things German, King George V dropped his original family name and adopted the more politically correct "Windsor." Can you imagine struggling to tie a double-saxe-coburg-gotha knot every morning on the way to work?

In any case, our best wishes to the happy couple.
