J K Rowling defends the Crown
Though a longtime fan of Harry Potter, I've been critical of some of author J K Rowling's other political beliefs. So it's a relief to know that unlike the actor who played her most famous character in the movies, in this interview with Jon Stewart (starting at about 26:30) she demonstrates an admirably concise understanding of one important benefit of the Crown (its separation of State from Government), even suggesting that what the USA needs is "a monarch" and the Queen would be glad to have us back! (Thanks to my brother William for the link.)
