Shame he wasn't able to stay in power. I think Russia would be in a better place today if a Gorbachev protege was President.

THE QUEEN IS DEAD!
(Finally) Can't say I'll be shedding any tears. But watch the mourning British public over god knows how long now, weeks probably. Christ save us. Oh wait: you don't exist. Never mind. News Alert: Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96 Queen Elizabeth II, who has died at age 96 after the longest reign in British history, will be mourned around the globe as one of the last monarchs born to a classic age of European royalty, when kings and queens wielded genuine political power. Elizabeth's death comes seven months after she marked the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, yet another milestone achievement in the remarkable life of a queen who, though reluctantly thrust into the spotlight at a young age, won almost universal praise for her steadfast dedication to duty.

I heard that the Queen suddenly passed away from a coworker when I was at work. I was royally stunned by the news. Literally the first the thing I said to her was "oh well, there goes the end of the world." I was imagining England falling into peices without her guidance, and then a domino effect of a crippled England rippling throughout the world. But then I thought about the ravens at the Tower of London and maybe they can keep things from going that drastically wrong.
I can image right now that the English are people plunging into a deep depression mourning her passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to them. There is like a whole four or five generations that only knew Queen Elizabeth reigning over the country keeping things together like signing papers, making royal appearances, and fulfilling other important royal responsibilities, jumping out of helicopters etc etc. I think that the English people can be proud of themselves for the fact that England came in second place for the longest reigning monarch. I mean it's not first place but then things didn't go horribly wrong like in France or Russia.

Having thought about it I've come to the conclusion that, while as Prince Charles he was a loser who I gave no ****s about, as KING CHARLES III I have no choice but to cast away my traitorous citizenship and bow to the highest Charles in the land. Let all Charleses claim their divine birthright.
