As I'm sure we have all seen in the news, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, is on an official state visit here in the country. She is mainly here for what is the biggest celebration in recent memory for the Commonwealth of Virginia, the quad-centennial of the founding of the Jamestown Colony. The Queen received a great southern welcome upon her arrival in Richmond with her husband Prince Philip.
Obviously, this is a great honor for our Commonwealth, to be hosting the Queen. Today, she was in Jamestown to tour the original site of the colony, and to see the progress made by archeologists digging up remains of the original fort. Which, if you haven't been down there lately, I highly encourage everyone to do so, it's quite a site!
Vice President Dick Cheney accompanied Her Majesty and Governor Tim Kaine on a tour of the Jamestown settlement. You can find VP Cheney's remarks here.
However, what I found most interesting of all, was the picture I have posted with this entry, of the Queen and Cheney. I'm wondering what she's thinking here. One thing is for sure, it doesn't appear to be a friendly look, it more looks like she's glaring at him. This, of course, is perfectly fine, in my opinion, Cheney deserves glares such as this. It just got me to thinking, is this how other foreign dignitaries view Cheney? That, of course, could be the question of the hour.

Ah, let me think for a moment. If I was the queen or anyone else for the matter. Cause, I know that I am not a queen. Like I was saying, I don't think that I would want to be anywhere near the VP. I mean perhaps she was thinking that he might have a gun. I mean he did shot the one guy; although I don't think people where all that mad about that I mean it was a layer. Either way I think she had a reason not to be happy about being next to him.
