Tit for Tat

Is it just me, or are we in some sort of visa grudge match with the Brits?

First, they said that they wouldn't let Martha Stewart in their country -

Then, we come back with, well, then we won't take Boy George -

If you won't allow a friendly visit from our lifestyle guru/securities fraud convicts, we don't want your heroin addict/gender ambiguous pop stars. So there.

Actually, I think our West Side should call a truce with their East Side. Let the pond crossin' love-in begin. Let Martha visit her spiritual WASP homeland. And free the Boy. They have both done their time (And let's face it. Orange coveralls isn't an easy look for either one of them to pull off). Forgiveness, y'all. Forgiveness.

What in the world are we going to do without a visit from Boy George? Terrible business.

It's frightening isn't it? Let's hope that this isn't the beginning of a full-scale embargo on 80s British singing sensations. Who's next Duran Duran? Rick Astley? GEORGE MICHAELS!!?? {Though if they wanted to stop Spandau Ballet. . .}

George Michael! Don't even speak such terrible things. I love me some George Michael!
