Queen Elizabeth II is cooler than any of us. She raises corgis, parachutes from planes with James Bond (sort of) and hangs out with some awesome girlfriends. Should we even keep trying?
Her Majesty took to the wheel in Balmoral over the weekend — home of the infamous corgis vs. Princess Beatrice’s terrier smackdown — rollin’ in a Range Rover on her way back from a grouse shoot. But instead of her trademark floral hats — much more customary for a royal — she slipped into some unusual headgear, wearing what appeared to be a grey-colored hoodie.
The 86-year-old queen usually scoots around in her chaffeured Bentley, so we’re surprised to see her gunning behind the wheel of a green Range Rover. But regardless… THAT HOODIE.
Now, we have to ask. Was the queen actually decked out in a hoodie, or was her headwear just a scarf pinned down with bobby pins (which we can sort of make out in the photos)? Judge for yourself.

You cannot make this stuff up –


Reporters talked to a few people waiting to get into the Mitt Romney fundraiser at the Koch estate in the Hamptons over the weekend.

Here’s what one of them had to say:

“A New York City donor a few cars back, who also would not give her name, said Romney needed to do a better job connecting. ‘I don’t think the common person is getting it,’ she said from the passenger seat of a Range Rover stamped with East Hampton beach permits. …

‘We’ve got the message,’ she added. ‘But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies — everybody who’s got the right to vote — they don’t understand what’s going on. I just think if you’re lower income — one, you’re not as educated, two, they don’t understand how it works, they don’t understand how the systems work, they don’t understand the impact.”‘

Whenever you hear about Romney’s fundraising advantage, I want you to remember this quote — because this is the kind of person making huge contributions to give him that advantage. If you do nothing, that’s who gets to win.

This isn’t just about the kind of people supporting Mitt Romney. This is also about who benefits from a Romney presidency: Millionaires and billionaires would get a $250,000 tax cut, from a plan costing $5 trillion, while Wall Street would be allowed to write its own rules.

That’s Romney’s plan — a return to Bush-era policies. It’s hard to forget how that ended.

The outcome is in your hands:
