  Political Animal by Brian Morton: God Save the King | 3/30/2005
We call him “King George, the Second,” because he’s the second in his line, and since the last George we were subject to was the Third, it’s only appropriate that we’re going backward.
Kings can hide evidence that points to their hypocrisies—like memos that say Osama bin Laden was at Tora Bora and our military let him get away.
Kings can use public monies to convince the public that programs in their best interest need to be eliminated, just like King George’s road show to convince Americans that Social Security is failing, even if his proposed “plan”—he hasn’t really revealed it yet—will do nothing to fix the crisis he’s telling us about.

Or, more to the point, we think he might be useful as a unifying figure during Afghanistan's transition from a hellish cauldron of feuding warlords to a prim parliamentary democracy, which is penciled in for the second half of this year.
The idea, presumably, is not that the king would actually run things but that he and his family could concentrate on the activities we associate with modern royalty -- smiling and waving, committing adultery, getting divorced -- while the real work of nation-building swirls on around him.
What a king can provide, so long as he does not seek to run the day to day operations of the country, is a way of legitimizing a nascent government in the eyes of the people.

 ZweigWhite Perspectives - Cash is king; God save the king - Focus on Ownership Transition
We all have heard the cliché, "Cash is king." In these uncertain times, one can hardly find fault with companies having large cash balances on their balance sheet.
Most investors would require a higher rate of return on a high-yield bond than on a savings account because the risk of not receiving the projected cash flow on the high-yield bond is much greater than the risk of not receiving interest on your savings accounts.
If that money is left in a savings account earning 1% and the hurdle rate for your company is 20%, then you need to make up the difference of 19% return from the other assets.

" the National Anthem of Great Britain "God Save the King / Queen " was composed by Thomas Augustine Arne (1710-1778) and first sung in 1745 during the Jacobite invasion of England.
Bonnie Prince Charlie was proclaimed king in the market square of Preston and eventually reached the city of Derby.
