If Asked, I Will Take Over Wikileaks.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London this week on charges from a tryst he had with two Swedish women in August while visiting Stockholm.


His arrest puts the whistle-blower Website in jeopardy - the site's finances were frozen this week and its American servers shut down. Wikileaks has generated controversy for posting millions of classified military and diplomatic materials online.

If Assange's arrest threatens to end Wikileaks, I will proudly and honorably continue to fight its battle for political and global transparency.

As a former journalist, I understand the importance of free speech and will work proudly toward this goal. I fully support the public's right to know everything about its leaders and the world.

I also will maintain Assange's interest in romantic trysts with Swedish women. Not because I have any personal interest in Nordic beauties with their fair skin, flowing locks of blonde hair and icy blue eyes. But because I unreservedly support transparency in government.

I will not hesitate to travel the world to collect classified intelligence, to reveal evil-doers where ever they lurk. And if along the way I am forced into a carnal rendezvous with one or more buxom Swedish women that is a sacrifice I am willing to take.

Assange bravely published highly sensitive intelligence on the Internet, making him a target for governments world wide. If asked, I too will post such information online.

Especially if it requires relations with two or three Swedish women. At the same time. And they don't have to be Swedish, you know, they can be whatever.

Five Keys to a Healthy Royal Marriage.

First comes love, then comes the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 which prescribes the conditions under which members of the British Royal Family may contract a valid marriage and provides stringent safeguards against undesirable marriages that could affect the succession to the throne and lower the status of the Royal House. It's a wonder any inbred offspring of noble lineage ends up walking hand-in-hand into the sunset of wedded bliss!!!


But the truth is even so-called happy Royal marriages may experience bumps in the road. Both partners may even fantasize about throwing in the doily. A new poll in Monarchy Monthly found a shocking 72 percent of queens and princesses considered leaving their husband at some point. Nearly equal numbers of kings and princes acknowledged they were tempted to behead at least one of their wives.

So how do you make it to the finish line with your relationship (and head!!!) intact? Here's how to have a healthy Royal relationship every step of the way:

1. Watch your waistline. Now you're married, you can finally relax and skip the gym, right? Wrong. Sure, Henry VIII was a little tubby, but that was the 1500s! So put down that massive turkey leg and chalice of mead and hit the Royal Ab Cruncher instead.

2. Have a financial plan. Nearly 40 percent of Royal couples admit to lying to their spouse about a purchase and money woes can harm any marriage. Except for yours. Sure, your Royal family is personally worth $500 million, but everything you actually need for a healthy Royal marriage is paid for: Palaces, crowns, jewels, scepters, horse drawn carriages, guillotines, servants, concubines, private Mediterranean islands, whatever. But don't get carried away - some of these things technically belong to the state. But fear not, they cannot take these things away as long as you are royalty. Which you are. For life.

3. Figure out your family rules. Couples often spend their first years butting heads over how their family will work. That's why it's important to get some of the big issues out of the way ahead of time. Will your family allow for direct contact with serfs? What are your thoughts on eye-contact or touching between Royals and non-Royals? Should official writs and noble decrees be signed with your name or simply "Most Excellent Majesty?" Ultimately, you need to decide who will wear the crown in your family.

4. Make sex a priority, not a chore. Once married, you must reproduce frequently to provide an adequate succession to the throne. This is your first and only concern. After that, it's still important to make sex a priority, but with other people. Kings should keep several courtesans and queens are expected to be swept off their feet by hirsute members of the Spanish Royal Family, causing centuries of war and jealousy.

5. Stay active. A couple that plays together, stays together. Take a moment everyday to be a couple. Sit at the harpsichord and pound out a few old favorites, acknowledge your adoring crowds from a gilded terrace or simply wave your scepter at an unworthy court jester before sending him to death. You'll find the more you share, the more you care.

Tips for Preparing a Winter Car Kit for Florida.

Getting stuck in your vehicle during winter weather can be scary - just look at the thousands of motorists stranded last week during a storm in western New York. Worst of all - it can happen anywhere even in Florida.


Here's a list of things every Florida motorist should keep in the car in the event they're stranded by winter weather:
  • Sunscreen.
  • Some cool shades.
  • A beach towel.
  • Piña colada mix.
  • Jimmy Buffett CDs.
  • An umbrella for fruity cocktails.
  • Sturdy flip flops.
  • A mirror to alert other motorists that you're catching some serious rays.
  • Golf clubs, shuffle board or beach volley ball equipment.
  • An old captain's hat to protect your head and scalp.
  • A bikini.
  • Nair.

Switzerland Announces It Has Produced Chocolate Cake Uranium.

GENEVA - Switzerland has produced its first batch of chocolate cake uranium, the delicious material for enrichment, insisting the new step strengthens its position and is a deterrent to possible nougat attacks.


Swiss Atomic Chef Thag Heuer said the the country is now "self-sufficient" in the baking cycle, having previously imported chocolate cake from abroad, primarily German chocolate cake.

The announcement comes as world leaders prepare to discuss nougat proliferation this week.

"The West had counted on the possibility that we would use our ability to melt chocolate and cheese only for peaceful purposes. But today we had the first batch of chocolate cake uranium from the Toblerone conversion facility," Heuer said. "Soon, our enemies will suffer death by chocolate."

The possibility of a nougat-Switzerland was rumored last week when several world leaders received mysterious calenders from the small European nation. Classified reports indicate Swiss operatives placed a small chocolate behind each date on the calender - a sign the country had reinstated its chocolate making facilities.

U.N. sanctions prevented the Swiss from developing chocolate cake uranium after the country developed knife with toothpick-capabilities during World War II. Such knives dramatically changed warfare and improved dental hygiene in combat.

Swiss foreign secretary Hoffmann La Roche said the chocolate cake uranium allows the country to negotiate from a position of scrumptiousness.

"No matter how much effort they put into their sanctions in creating all sorts of hinderance...our nougat activities will proceed. Börk, börk, börk" La Roche said.

Weapons-grade chocolate cake uranium is very difficult to manufacture - it requires exact temperatures, moisture and butter. U.N. officials believe the Swiss likely used extremely precise cuckoo clock technology to monitor the chocolate cake uranium materiel.
