Sealand, the hidden rogue nation

Yes for a measly 30 British Pounds you too can become a Lord, or Lady of Sealand. I find this fascinating because in the United States we have done away with things like Kings, Counts, and Shahs but seeing this it makes me wonder if this was a mistake. Sovereign monarchies are anointed by some higher being to rule a section of land, but in the United States has only been anointed by the small fraction of the country that votes. Lets face it, God could kick our ass.

For those who are ignorant of geography Sealand is a ‘sovereign’ state that is on an old sea fort off the coast of merry ol’ England. Not only does this make it the closest sovereign to the United Kingdom but their greatest threat. Sealand doesn’t have things like an army, navy, or more than five people but it does have determination. That determination and the fact that Sherlock Holmes is dead means that Great Britain is defenseless.

So while no becoming a Baron of Sealand may only get you a square British foot of rusted metal, after their conquest of the ‘mainland’ you could have your choice of York, Newcastle, or the Isle of Man.

In other news, on the 700 club watch Pat Roberson has decided that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is something that is worth less that pagan toilet paper. This is because he just can not believe that the CEO of a company should be responsible for the financial statements of a company. What Patty is saying is that the CEOs responsibility is golfing, screwing his Christian secretary, and donating to the 700 club; but guaranteeing that the owner has the right to accurately know what their company is doing is not one of them. Patty also has a touching story about a woman in debt who got out of debt by donating money to him, and as Patty says the more you give the more you get out of debt, "Maria found that as she gave more, God provided. She was even able to send her son to a private school on her limited salary!" .It is good to know that to get someone to care I'll need to give them money.
