Thanks everyone. Several days ago a customer came into my business and started to tell me about myself. It appears he had "googled me" and then reached his own observations. Currently I am a member of the local village government, a Trustee if you will. I enjoy serving my community and helping others. My motto is "find a way to say yes"! But now when people google me they will find something else. That I am a "Nazi" and other things that are not true. Believe it or not this will have an adverse affect on my life here. King John did not surprise me with his support. Nor did the Prime Minister. I expected as much as they are good people and dedicated Talossans and thus have acted as such. And a thanks to Miestra too. We have never met but in our past communications I never found dishonesty or deciept. So again, thank you ....everyone. I really did not mean to hurt Ben or anyone else.

So it starts again. Ben brings back Talossa for a third time and once more rewrites it's history on a public site. While many of you are dismissive of this I am the one being publicly insulted and lied about and see nothing funny about it. I did not violate the Organic Laws, did not appoint anyone King, and have done my best to be a productive citizen of this Kingdom. While I failed as Prime Minister to bring together the people that Ben drove apart (and I truly regret that) I did my best in all I could. How long does this go on?

I think this is a great idea. If the treasury needs funds to start the project I think a general appeal to the populace would bring forth the needed funds. I will pledge $25 towards the project and accept them as legal tender at the bar..er, embassy.

As my current business is the official Talossan Embassy in Wisconsin I often fly my Talossan Flag outside the premises. This has led to quite a few inquires most of which ask "are you Irish?" or something of that nature. I would offer that while we retain the current flag and colors which we all love, we also add our Kingdom's seal to the center of the flag, making it truly unique and giving no doubt as to its meaning.

Zouaves! Bearskins are what the Imperial Guard should wear! The Emperor's Old Guard set an example never to be matched. Even the English Queen knows this.

Happy Birthday Ben. I miss your friendship, intellectual sword play and political analysis. I'm sorry I disappointed you. Recent conversations indicate you are much happier outside of Talossa and for that I am grateful.

The Account was established today! In the past some individuals have sent Euro Notes. I cannot cash these without a $15 service charge! So please, when sending money use checks and have them made out to "The Kingdom of Talossa". Please include it's purpose as well.
Soon I will be rich, RICH beyond my wildest dreams.....er...oops.

Hey! Just because I'm old and stubborn doesn't mean I'm not a loyal Talossan!
I thank my King for his appointment and will do my best to serve him and the Kingdom well. Funds can be sent to the GTA Embassy titled "Mr. Fritz's" 504 Fredonia Avenue Fredonia, Wi. 53021. I will be establishing an account this week at a Financial Institution within the borders of the GTA and keep the King advised on it's status.
Again my thanks, Fritz von Buchholtz

I have one of the original Talossan Flags (Thomas Garcier) or I would take one. It's a great idea though.

Love your quote from Mark Twain Cjara! Here's my favorite. "Faith is believing something you know ain't so". On a different note wasn't it Thomas Jefferson who said "We need a revolution every hundred years" or something similar? Talossa needs that too, but in a much shorter period of time. Personal loyalty (which former King Ben so relied upon) is a weak pillar upon which no house can stand. The CLP had its day, RUMP too, but change must be continuous or we become stagnant. I encourage new parties with new leaders, new thoughts with new dreams, so that Talossa can continue to live and grow.
God Save the King and God Save Talossa!

The rash of severe weather has passed us by with minimal damage. Another is due tomorrow night so we will see what that brings. Thanks for you concern Captain. I'm not the Home Minister but do reside in the Embassy here.
