Juan Carlos has even less actual political power than you do.
“Juan Carlos has even less actual political power than you do.”
I don’t think so, I’m a Republican in Massachusetts.
I wonder if the elephant-sympathizers have any clue that much of the $50k to cull one elephant goes to fund anti-poaching efforts that protect far more creatures, and a healthy population.
Elephants aren’t endangered, any more than white-tailed deer.
And they can be pests that need to be manged and culled.
It serves the idiot Juan Carlos jolly good for shooting elephants. That is so ugly and heartless.
It looks like idiot Juan Carlos is going to be in a wheelchair of a long time and then on a walker for the rest of his meaningless life.
The elephant got its revenge. I rather have had the elephant unharmed and alive.
Why is an elephant big, grey and wrinkly?
Also, he won’t be out there shooting more elephants.
He is finished.
That is great news.
“Why is an elephant big, grey and wrinkly?”
Please help me. I give up!
LOL! Actually, he’s been a pretty good king... a sort of inoffensive figurehead who seems to stay out of things. Lately, the husband of one of the infantas (princesses) has gotten into big trouble because he was peddling influence.
Juan Carlos himself makes a lot of money through what we would call lobbying, and the family is very wealthy. He was brought up in England, speaks Spanish with a faint English accent, and his wife, la Reina Sofia, is Greek.
They could be a lot worse. The problem, actually, is that he’s probably more conservative than the recent leaders of the country but is too chicken to say so. And he’s a constitutional monarch, so nothing he says matters anyway.
Because if it was small, white and hard it would be an aspirin.
Actually, he has been a damn good king. If if were not for his calming influence the crackerjack Spanish military would have been shooting Socialist MFs Willy-Nilly a long time ago. He has also had a somewhat moderating influence on the socialist MFs who think THEY run spaion. If you think our Left is loony, the Spanish Left makes Jane Fonda look like Martha Washington..
He is a wonderful sportsman and is reputed to have boffed Lady Di. !Viva Borbon!
Hey!!! You better get ready for a visit from the SS of FBI for talking about 0 bummer like that. Oh wait, never mind.
And the answer is? ???
“why was an elephant in my pajamsa?” ba dum
Sometimes what he's had to say matters very much.
Oh good grief!!!!
Thank you.
Elephants are sacred, sentient beings. Absolutely no reason to kill one. I had always liked this king - now I hope he is painfully crippled for the rest of his miserable life.
