That's funny. :-) Remember the Peter Sellers movie in the '60s, "The Mouse the Roared"? The plot was there was this Lichtenstein-like nation in Europe, the Dutchy of Grand Fenwick, and they decided on a plan to declare war on the US, lose, and be recipients of all sorts of foreign aid from the US after the "war." The problem was, they ended up defeating the US. (Or at least that's how I understand the plot going...There was a sequel: "The Mouse on the Moon," about the Dutchy's space program.)

yea but this was a bit too real

I remember the Sellers movie and I think it was a play and a book.

I don't know which chicken came before the egg in this case

The Mariel Boat Lift was under whom??? ....... Peanuts Carter?

another French favorite

what's not funny is that they still issue a Conch Republic Passport on Whitehead Street in Key West

Mohammad Atta of World Trade tower infamy traveled in and out of the US on his Conch Republic passport and our ever vidulant civil servants duityfully stamped this document each trip.

The FBI was all over the office .... but they are still issuing Conch Republic passports even today
