To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II.
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates
for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give
notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

Bravo, bravo! Hear, hear!

Just one thing: as a former 'Merkin, I plead, nay, pray to you just one
thing: PLEASE don't make us watch "Are You Being Served?". ANYTHING
else, just not that, OK? I'll even watch all that Jeeves this and Poirot
that, just ... not ... that show ... OK?
