Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady of Great Britain, died today from a stroke at the age of 87. I hope she doesn't need any further introduction since her great deeds have been all over the media today. But I would like to relate one vignette that I heard about her this morning. It seems that, toward the end of her tenure as the British Prime Minister, she and her Cabinet Ministers were a bit at odds. (They eventually turned against her and brought her down.) Anyway they were all having dinner together one night at a London restaurant and the waiter asked Mrs. Thatcher what she wanted. She replied, "I'll have steak." The waiter then asked, "What about the vegetables?" With that, she waved the back of her hand toward the other Cabinet diners and said, "They'll have steak too."
Afterward: Mark Steyn has a tribute to the Maggie HERE. It is really worth a read.
