Quote of the Day

“Pippa [Middleton]—Kate’s sister—yes, she’s attractive, but can the world’s media pump the brakes a little? Half the cocktail waitresses in Las Vegas make her look like she fell off the back of a royal carriage, got run over by a white horse and was patched up by a blind seamstress.” — British expat Ben Conmy, reporting on the recent royal wedding (no, not the contemporaneous Steve Wynn nuptials), as seen from the Queen Victoria British Pub at the Riviera. Incidentally, a reliable source informs me that the potatoes at Queen Victoria Pub are the real thing, not the made-from-powder stuff that the Riv’s been serving elsewhere.
