"To the citizens of the United States of America, in light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II resumes monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy."

No mention is made as to the reason for Utah's rejection by the Queen, but I'm sure most of us comprehend her lack of enthusiasm for the state.

I believe we already fought that war, and won.
However, if they'll take Utah, I won't complain.

it was erroneously attributed to Cleese

Thanks for that, Dave...

Here's the Snopes explanation: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/revocation.asp

But note that the original did not have the Queen rejecting Utah. One wonders who decided on Utah? But one doesn't wonder why!

Hail to the Queen! She's a distant cousin. Better than u know who.

to the british, this is obviously satire.

To everyone on the planet, with the possible exception of anonuk, this is obviously satire. D'oh!

Thank goodness for that.

For a second I thought we were going to have to govern all the ingrates again!!

Thumbs up.

^^^^this makes no sense since I obviously do think it is satire and stated so for the clarity of those who do not always get satire and irony. Why do you feel the need to take the p*ss and say the exact opposite about me to that which I stated? I consider that trolling and not very nice. Poor show.

I think all queens should reject Utah. But that's just me.

I'd like to see un-succession on the next ballot!

Just hope that the next POTUS, doesn't check out the Queen ala Crocodile Dundee the first time they meet.
