what is it about her?

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Queen Elizabeth II is loved, not only in Britain but also in that nation's former North American colony.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Monday during the queen's six-day U.S. visit finds that eight in 10 Americans have a favorable view of the British monarch. 

 
Maybe the good folks across the pond would let us borrow her for a while, just to cheer us up. Bush's approval rating his somewhat less than Her Majesty's 80%; in fact, Bush's rating has dropped to 28%. Which is baffling in itself, that 28% of US still think he's worth a damn.

So maybe we need a queen, huh? And if we merged with Canada, we could have back bacon and health care. This might be a good time to put it to a vote, before the democrats take a dump in their proverbial mess kits, and the whole things shifts the other way again.
