Hey, I like her. Shoot me.
Congratulations to Her Majesty.

LONDON (AFP) - Queen Elizabeth II was set to become Britain's oldest monarch Thursday, overtaking her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria, although in discreet royal fashion no events were planned to mark the record.
"This is just another normal working day for the queen," a royal spokeswoman told AFP, adding that the 81-year-old was spending the day in Buckingham Palace dealing with routine paperwork and some Christmas correspondence.
"There's nothing the queen is doing to mark the occasion," she added.
Victoria died in 1901 aged 81 years and 243 days. Elizabeth was to pass Victoria's record at around 5:00 pm Thursday -- taking into account times of birth and death, according to Buckingham Palace.

I find her to be quite a dignified presence. Not only that, but I like that fact that she's a woman.
It's time for the U.S. to have one at the helm too. Not particularly liking Billary now though. Guess I'll have to settle for Obama.
