This just in from the Imperial Press Office:
WHEREAS it has been brought to our attention by our loyal subject, Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, that there is, upon the website known as "Daily Kos" a Flame War now in progress over the relative merits of our other loyal subject, Barack Hussein Obama
AND WHEREAS Barack Hussein Obama is much beloved by me,
AND WHEREAS on account of my sure knowledge of the will of my people as manifested most recently in 2008 Anno Domini, I have granted, accorded and recognized him as the true and rightful holder of the privileges, responsibilities and office of President of these United States;
THEREFORE the undersigned, Norton I, Emperor of these United States and Protector of Mexico, do hereby decree, proclaim, and enjoin that henceforth, all parties to the aforesaid Flame War shall forthwith abandon, give up, and foreswear any such endeavor to continue such Flame War, and redirect all their energies, devotion, and treasure to the vanquishment of one Willard "Mitt" Romney, the pretender to my throne.
Any person who shall violate this decree shall pay a penalty (via Paypal, of course) to the Imperial Treasury and further shall incur my wrathful countenance (shown above) until such time as they may make amends.
Witness my hand this 17th day of May, 2012, at our Imperial Capital, San Francisco, California,
Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico
