    Timbuktom, The British queen, Elizbeth 11, gives a speech to her subjects at Christmas which used to begin with "My husband and I"

    but now I've learned that Michelle Obama knows more about English grammar than any queen. Klytus regards the dromedary as superior to the bactrian camel (the Asian camel with two humps) and,, if I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring. This is such a stimulating forum that the Russians must be quaking in their shoes while an international crisis is developing in Georgia (s.e.Europe). Maybe Putin has a touching personal story to tell but, if he has, he's not unloading it on the world.
