As English royalty go, Posh and Becks are the people's choice. As we celebrate our independence today we must acknowledge our friends across the pond without whom none of this would be possible. If we did not have taxation without representation, there would be no fireworks, barbecues or copious amounts of drinking. We commiserate with Becks on his team's loss to Portugal in the quarter finals but commend him on his goal against Ecuador that led his team to that point. As England learned back in 1776, you win some and you lose some.
