Quote of the Day, At Least Hold Out For A Knighthood, Kid edition.

You’ve got the technical queen on the ropes, here.

People on the internet are saying I am the queen of Sweden, because in the legend of King Arthur, he was given a sword by a lady in a lake, and that meant he would become king. I am not a lady – I’m only eight – but it’s true I found a sword in the lake. I wouldn’t mind being queen for a day, but when I grow up I want to be a vet. Or an actor in Paris.

Because, really, you have folklore on your side on this one.  Have Her Nibs put you on the next Honors List, or however that works in Sweden.  Always Be Closing, Swedish Girl Who Found A Sword*.  Always Be Closing.

*I know her name, but it’s probably best not to put that out on the Internet, what with it being a wretched hive of scum and villainy these days.

Looks like there’s going to be a new Queen of Sweden soon. [Sanitized.]

That’s how it works, right?

“It’s not every day that one steps on a sword in the lake!” Mikael Nordström from Jönköpings Läns Museum told The Local when explaining the significance of the find.

#rsrh Swedish leftists suddenly discover the utility of marriage.

Specifically: inheritances.

Executive summary: guy writes some books. Guy is living with woman for decades, but they didn’t get married because of that entire “bourgeois morality” thing (the couple were Commies, of course).  Guy dies before books are published.  Books are a success; sales go through the roof.  Sweden apparently doesn’t have common law marriage, so woman gets nothing from estate.  Lawsuits ensue.  It’s all very tawdry, and everybody’s insisting that it’s not about the money, which means: it’s all about the money.

Anyway, I was going to give an elaborate analysis of this situation, but I have a better idea.  Mrs. Knowles-Carter, if you would?

Thank you, madam.
