SUMMER OF RECOVERY Meet the British Winter of discontent

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN from having to pay her heating bill!  Apparently while everyone is poolside sipping fruity drinks and enjoying the robust American economy during the Obama summer of recovery the British Royal Monarchy is recovering from a gaffe which occured during the winter of British discontent.  Apparently the Queen of England tried to get money from a fund which subsidizes heating bills to aid low-income britons in order to pay the enormous heating bill in the Royal Palace.  Apparently one of the world's richest people cannot afford to heat her oversized home!  At least in America we can take comfort in knowing that the economy sucks everywhere and it sounds like if Obama can get over his anti-British feelings he can send some of his summer of recovery expertise across the pond to save the English.
