Not even one little teeny tiny part of me understands why anyone cares about the supposed royal baby. About Bruno Sammartino, yes. Baby, no

All kidding aside, #Spencer would be my vote for the royal baby name! It'd be such a lovely tribute to Diana, who was born Diana Spencer.

I don't understand how I'm still doing phone interviews when Kate Middleton is in labor. Don't they have to go cover the crowning?!

You'd think America was still a British colony by the news coverage on tv today. The royal baby has just about knocked Obama off the air.
