There is No Independent Flanders


State TV in Belguim broke into regular programing to announce that the King and Queen have high tailed it out of the country and the Dutch speaking half of the country has declared independence. But in move worthy of the Orson Wells Mercury Theater it was a joke. Some people were not let in on this little secret and were pretty miffed. "This is not something you play around with!" said the prime minister of Luxembourg. The station flashed a message " This is fiction" after about a half hour.

Glad they got that cleared up!

This morning Flanders is just the way he always is!
