Well, good people, the idea of the restoration of our Bourbon friends is nothing short of mindboggling if not hilarious outright. If you think France is a mess today, and who am I to argue, think of what it was like under poor Louis XVI. Talk about a man in completely over his head!!! And then there was that poor twit spoiled little rich girl Maria Antonia the Austrian (explitive deleted) who really did not deserve her fate, nor did her husband. Then we had the idiot Charles X, not to mention which Bourbon was who after the debacle of 1870 refused the throne of France because he would have had to accept the tricolour. For God's sake, you would refuse the throne of France because of a red, white and blue piece of cloth??? Then we have the nitwit Comte de Paris who sold off all those fabulous tiaras etc.
I would love to be Roi de France. With Sapphire and diamond crown and regalia, I could rebuild the French crown jewels into the most magnificent collection in the world. One could live at Versailles, with palaces in Paris and in the Loire valley, I just love the Loire. All the magnificent pomp and circumstance with some drop dead lovely queen at my side bedecked to the gills with jewels to out do even the overdone Queen Mary. And at my ripe old age to start having dauphins, it would be a riot. Ah, good people, I must quit dreaming. You see it is the 102 degree Farenheit heat here in Columbia SC and all the chocolate. Cheers.
