God Save The Queen

Well, it's election day and it looks like the Reps. have gotten control of the House while the Dems. keep control of the Senate. Finally, a little bit of sanity is going to be restored to our country.
In the spirit of the elections, I'd like to share the following conversation that I had with my wife today.

My wife: We should just go back to a monarchy.
Me: When did we ever have a monarchy?
My wife: When we were British colonists. Life was simple, streamlined, and you always knew what to expect. No surprises.
Me: Well maybe you should just go back to England then?
My wife: It seems so luxurious over there.
