Time for Britain to start thinking Republican!

No - not in a scary Tom DeLay-Newt Gingrich kind of way but in a isn't-the-Royal-Family-an-anachronism kind of way. The sun has well and truly set on the British Empire when Queen Elizabeth II of England and Wales and Queen Elizabeth I of Scotland can only manage 23rd on a list of the world's most powerful women. See came behind the CEO of the company that has given us Jello (no. 9 - Irene Rosenfeld of Kraft Foods), the CEO of a chain of chemist shops (no. 15 - Mary Sammons of Rite Aid Corp.) and the CEO of a company that makes cakes nobody doesn't like (no. 19 - Brenda Barnes of Sara Lee Corp.)

About time I'd say.
