LOL! I really did… and it added 11 years to my life! Exactly what I, whose
family left the UK in ~1600, needed. Having been stressed beyond words about
choices of this election, I took the coward’s way out. About to hit the road
again on a lengthy trip from the Appalachian foothills to the Atlantic coast, I
cast an early ballot and decided there was no way I was going to chance being
involved in an auto accident and not have a say in our impossible choices for
President. Read Mr. Borowitz’s New Yorker

missed his satire, Queen Elizabeth II addressed the US recently from her
palatial office and made us, US citizens, an offer many I’m sure would welcome.
She offered to restore British rule over us. Wait now and think about it. Her
offer said we wouldn’t have to put up with Parliament and even appeared to
throw Charles and Camilla under the bus, so to speak! She selflessly declared

evidenced by our 2016 Presidential contest. It would be an old fashioned
Monarchy where her rule would be totally Autocratic. Her heirs to her throne
would be William and his adorable children. All we have to do is write in her
name on our ballot. NOW you tell me, YOUR MAJESTY… after I’ve already voted!?
