The Coronation Abomination

 

 

 

Someone, please explain why in the year 2023 there’s still such a thing as a “king.”

In a nation pressed with severe domestic needs – including a public health crisis – what can possibly justify squandering a whopping $125 million of the nation’s treasury on a “coronation?” This exorbitant cost comes atop the millions just spent on the late Queen’s *11-day* funeral last year. I mean, what’s up with that? I know a cremation service down the street that could have had the whole job over and done in 48 hours for 900 bucks (note-they only take cash). Then, there’s the $110 million this dysfunctional family of inbreds leeches off British taxpayers every single year.

Seriously, why are these preposterous and loathsome medieval traditions of royalty — constant bowing and fawning, mass serfdom, and so-called superiority by birthright — still a thing?

Explain it to me like I’m a clueless American foreigner because I just don’t get it.

Restaurant Review: Tacos and Tequila (Palace Station)

 

 

TACOS AND TEQUILA (PALACE STATION)

We had no plans whatsoever to eat Mexican food for lunch yesterday, but when we saw the sign out in front — “2 lunches, 1 appetizer for $30” and “2 for 1 margarita special” — well, they had me at “get your ass in here.”

A surprising discovery: Tacos and Tequila used to be inside the main atrium at the Luxor, until the corporate fun killers raised the lease so high that only the big chains can compete, and so after disappearing from the Las Vegas landscape for a couple of years, they found a new home inside Palace Station, which has undergone a major renovation. We used to enjoy the old Luxor location many years ago, so this was an instant “table for two” change of plans.  T&T deserves far more love, and more customers. I hope spreading the word might help.
