...imagine that. Agatha Christie would be shocked, as I am sure many of the English are today. Not by the recently discovered murder, a dispicable act in itself, but by the reports covering the incident.

Sandringham, as I understand it, is Queen Elizabeth's country estate and covers about 30 square miles. That's enough territory to encompass a city like New York since Manhatten Island is slightly smaller. But you would think by the reports that the body was found in the Queen's parlor.

A reporter on CNN said that the royal family vacationed there over the holidays without realizing they had a murder victim in their midst. Midst?

You know if any of us said something like that in a story posted to this site we would hear the laughter for weeks. Midst indeed. I wonder why the talking heads on the news are not held to the same standard as those who work in print. Is it that television is such a vapid and insidious waste of time?

That get's my vote. >Sad
