Welcome to Sweden, Mr. President!

President Barack Obama arrives to Sweden this morning for the first bilateral state visit to Sweden ever by an incumbent American president. We had President George W. Bush here a couple of years ago, but that was for an International summit meeting.

Although we are well aware that the American presidents short visit to Sweden occurs only because of the the gap that arose in his plans when the Americans decided to show displeasure with the Russians for granting a temporary refuge to Edward Snowden (who leaked information about America's massive surveillance online) and cancelled a scheduled meeting with the Russian President Vladimir "Little Father" Putin.

Nonetheless we are thrilled to receive Obama as a guest and hope that he will have a wonderful stay with some straightforward and serious discussions with the Swedish representatives.

Alas the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls and sovereign ruler of The Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment with Outer Territories, will not be able to meet with the American President due to a "political flu", which has been brought on by the prevailing enmity between the beloved laird and the awful Silvia, Queen of Sweden.

Big Brother Is Watching Us

If our Big Brothers in the United States National Security Agency (NSA) is watching us there is really only one thing to do.

MOON THE NOSY BASTARDS! 


Thank you Edward Snowden for informing us about this, you are my hero! 

Just like Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning before you, you have brought the public's attention to the wrongdoings of the powers that be and their henchmen.

We always need heroes in our midst who, when they feel that something is utterly wrong, have the courage to act and to do the morally right thing. I hope that I will have the same courage if and when I find myself in that position.

P.S. If anyone is wondering if the ass above is mine I must coyly admit that it is NOT. Mine is a bit hairier and even more beautiful.
