Is that the one that's basically just a closed social club for drinking, or am I thinking of the Elks?  I know they all do some charity work on the side, but I thought there was one that didn't have degrees, ritual, shit like that.

You're thinking of the Moose Lodge.

Damn Obama has exotic tastes.  Prime Ministers and Monarchs only.

Also from the ceremony:



Good summary of East / West current relations.

Actually I am surprised Putin showed up, Russia had no direct involvement.  Though I guess Obama would be expected to turn up for Stalingrad ceremonies.

The next such celebration would be the victory parade in Moscow on 9th May next year.

Well the Russians are moving back from the eastern border of Ukraine so maybe the "You can't eat at our lunch table", politics is working. :hmm:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That policy may need some more work as Putin did in fact eat at their lunch table...

Jeez, maybe it's time to stop wheeling the poor queen out for public events.  :(

Anyone else catch the translation of what Hollande and the war veteran were discussing at the main ceremony?
"We have it in our power to begin the world over again"

I'd guess this was one of those that she particularly wanted to attend, she was certainly animated and talkative enough. 

I'm guessing she's had a lifetime of sitting through some dreadfully dull functions, those should be cut back first.

I'm under the impression that it's her call when to stop wheeling.

She's probably the only one there that actually remembers D-Day.
