Royal Weddings Aren't News.

Heck, royalty in general isn't news. What does the English monarchy even do these days, except splatter their events and "personalities" across global news media at any opportunity?

Here's five things in the news today that I care about more than William and Kate's media circus.

1. India, Mauritius agree on Joint Working Group on Double Taxation
2. In Shift, Egypt Warms to Iran and Hamas, Israel’s Foes
3. Attorneys General Battle NLRB Over Boeing Plant
4. Space Jam: Thousands Flock to See Shuttle Fly, creating potential traffic problems on East Coast
5. Benjamin Moore's "Odorless" Paint Stinks and is Sticky, Suit Charges

Yes, the failure of paint to dry as promised is probably of greater significance than the royal nuptials.... and yet here are the top four items today from Time Magazine.

1. William and Kate: Scenes from a Dazzling Royal Wedding
2. Kate's Grace Kelly Moment
3. Kate Middleton's Sensational Wedding Dress
4. Royal Wedding: The Day's Schedule

The U.S. debt ceiling will be reached in two weeks, the American military is engaged in three different countries, and all we can hear about is royal frippery. If I cared any less, I'd be in a coma.
