Hola, strutters. It's Wednesday and suddenlystruttin's staff wants you all to know the hot and valuable news items and miscellanea out in the Internets; so, that when that cocktail party you're hosting on Friday night rolls around, you'll have an ice breaker. Uhh, or something...
The Magna Carta is up for auction. In case you've forgotten your high school history and poli-sci teachers boring discussions on the significance of the Magna Carta, know this: The Magna Carta is the "Original Gangsta" of historically significant and boring documents, see: United States Constitution, Bill of Rights, Federalist Papers, Declaration of Independence. That being said, the only relevant and important thing to thank the Magan Carta for is the process of "Habeas Corpus." Also, the Magna Carta refers to a collection of writings and is not one static piece of parchment, remember that when you're bidding on it for upwards of 30 million.
The United States has some competition. This is the sort of news that just makes me sick! I mean, we're the fucking UNITED STATES and those limey bastards think they can elbow in on our claim to being a nation of fatties? I think not! I for one am going to double my intake of milk shakes and forego all healthy foods. Pass the Butterfingers!
In other news, it's a slooow week, but, I should be getting part 2 of "The Perils of Dating" out tomorrow or Friday or, y'know, when I get around to it.

If I remember my history correctly, we can also thank the Magna Carta for ending the theory of the divine right of kings . . . thus ushering in the divine right of the incumbent politician!
In other news, Halo 3 was released, and it is the shiz-nit!
magna whata? For real this blog is a cornucopia of subjects. I think you've found the the pot of gold at the end of the blog rainbow. While the rest of us write boring blogs about wakeing up and eating sandwiches and going back to bed. You on the other hand educate . God bless you sir!
Divine rights went away when even God couldn't be bothered to vote.
Well, we can all be thankful for the Magna Carta allowing us to live in this democratically representative oligarchy, right? right?
