An Australian novelist Harry Nicolaides has been sentenced to 3 years in prison for writing a novel in which he apparently insults the Royal Family of Thailand. That would be a Thai prison he's going to not an Australian one. I suspect and hope he will spend a short time there and then be pardoned. Even though Australia produces the worlds shittiest literature there is no excuse for not allowing people to insult Royalty. The Royal Family of Thailand cannot be insulted as it interferes with their important work of creating political stability, which I hear they're very good at.
I only bring up this sad story to make a point that our Monarch is much less thin skinned and can take our incessant jibber jabber about her and her family.
I could sit here and write that Her Majesty is a useless god-forsaken git with a DNA damaged Heir who took 40 years to barely comprehend the rules of Polo. I have no fear that the police will show up at my door. For I am a Canadian, and I can freely say rotten and profane things about my head of state. I may even write a novel.
God Save our Queen, really. Our Monarch is sanguine and gracious, prone to walking through the gas lit streets on Christmas eve, unafraid of being accosted by lonely liquored men. She peers into our dimly lit front windows and views our impoverishment with love and understanding. In this age of coups and usurpations by godless socialists and Felquistes a patriot can't be too vigilant. Her Majesty is the only glue holding our exemplary democracy together. She stares down our perils so we don't have to.
God only knows why someone wouldn't be a loyal monarchist these days.
In my next post I'll make fun of God.

Thai Opposition Needs to Be Put in Their Place
From the CBC:
What? A majority you say? Ready to take power? Yikes. Sounds like a "coup" to me. I suggest we send Roy Green over their immediately to help them get back to a more appropriate mob rule by the minority and their corrupt government. Roy could whip them into a frenzy by calling people names and singing nationalistic songs over and over.
Majority. Pfft. Please recommend this post
Thailand's opposition Democrat Party says it has enough support in parliament to form a new government and put an end to several months of political chaos.
Party secretary general Suthep Thaugsuban announced Saturday that his group has the backing of more than half of the 400 legislators in the lower house, which would allow it to form a government.
The announcement came three days after anti-government protesters ended an eight-day occupation of two airports in the Thai capital.
