A Royal mishap

Editor's note -- The Telegraph appears to be confused by the Royal rules for souvenirs. Reporter Caroline Gammell clearly states on Dec. 8 that tea towels are outlawed souvenirs.

---------------------------------------

 RT @TelegraphNews Royal Wedding: the rules for #souvenirs http://tgr.ph/fQSqM4 

      

"The rules in relation to Royal souvenirs for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton have been carefully thought out well ahead of time."

~ Those wishing to produce artefacts bearing the couple’s image must follow a set of guidelines issued by the Lord Chamberlain’s office ...

~ Tea-towels, aprons and t-shirts are outlawed, but carpets, cushions, wall hangings and head scarves are acceptable.

This Royal Marriage souvenir plate is in good taste.

Editor's note -- Apparently, The Telegraph did not think out the souvenir rules well enough in advance to prevent this tea towel mishap. Reporter Andy Bloxham devoted an entire story to  the exclusion of said tea towels on the same day Caroline Gammel already said they were outlawed.

------------------------------------------------- 

KarenAGardner  Royal wedding: Prince William and Kate Middleton #teatowels banned by palace - Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ro… -- formal memorandum stating...

"Tea towels have been excluded from the official list of approved memorabilia for the Royal family's next wedding, that of Kate Middleton and Prince William."

Editor's note -- The Gazette is providing a .pdf of Prince William's souvenir rules just in case The Telegraph needs to look at them again.

Walt Disney introduces the Florida Project

PRIME LOCATION -- Walt Disney selected Central Florida near Orlando for his newest theme park, Walt Disney World Resort. The project was shrouded in secrecy until Disney unveiled his plans in fall 1965. 

Editor's note -- Also shrouded in secrecy was Walt Disney's role as an F.B.I. informant and 

covert employment by the House Un-American Activities 

Committee as a spy against Communists in Hollywood.

And he and J. Edgar Hoover belonged to the secret 

society of Freemasons, too!

Hollywood's Dark Prince

"This is the definitive and only unauthorized biography of the great but flawed Hollywood legend."  -- Marc Eliot 

Happy Birthday Uncle Walt!

MegaLeaks is a "cute name"

Editor's note -- No sooner did Sea World dolphins boil  WikiLeaks' down to its essence did it rise again as a WikiKraken!

Pen and wash drawing by malacologist Pierre Dénys de Montfort, 1801 

Editor's note -- Good Grief!                                            

 Now the dread Julian Assange unleashes his fury on Big Business ... and a Salmon ROBOT tweets the ensuing mayhem
--------------------------------------------
A robot tweets @FelixReuters blog Counterparties http://dlvr.it/9R5Fw -- Forbes blog says Julian Assange Wants to Spill Your Corporate ...

Counterparties ... Early next year, a major American bank will suddenly find itself turned inside out. Tens of thousands of its internal documents will be exposed on Wikileaks — Forbes

"A robot twittering Felix Salmon's Reuters blog entries." 

Editor's note -- Forbes' blogger Andy Greenberg interviews the "shaggy haired" J. Assange (when he wasn't being hunted down by the world at large. 

"The slim 39-year-old Wiki Leaks founder wears a navy suit over his 6-foot-2 frame, and his once shaggy white hair, recently dyed brown, has been cropped to a sandy patchwork of blonde and tan. He says he colors it when he’s “being tracked.”

“These big-package releases. There should be a cute name for them,” he says, then pauses again.

 “Megaleaks?” I suggest, trying to move things along.

 “Yes, that’s good—megaleaks.” His voice is a hoarse, Aussie-tinged baritone. 

Editor's note --  To move things along even further, Greenberg went to the cyber-attacker's London flat for this exclusive interview. 

Fortunately,  the Gazette will move along to another topic on another day ...

Dolphins Dump Documents

Editor's note -- For the past few days, the Gazette has been bored to tears with an endless stream of tweets about the WikiLeaks "State Dept. Document Dump." The Gazette would like to express its gratitude to Pajamas Media for doing something about it yesterday!

GardnersGazette "Pajamas Media has hired a dozen dolphins from Sea World" -- Roger L. Simon » WikiLeaks as seen by dolphins pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/20… 

"Because we know sifting through over a quarter of a million documents can be time-consuming for the average citizen and therefore somewhat daunting, Pajamas Media has hired a dozen dolphins from Sea World to go over the voluminous material. Working non-stop for several days, they have boiled it down to its essence."

"America Needs a New President," says Sea World Dolphin to San Diego Tourists.

Editor's note -- Boiled-down WikiLeak essence: 

Berlusconi likes girls ... 

Sarkozy likes himself.

Angela Merkel is boring ... 

David Cameron is more boring.

Hillary thinks Cristina needs a shrink.

Benjamin Netanyahu can’t stand Ehud Olmert.

Al Qaeda hates America.

Yemen’s president hates Al Qaeda

Ahmadinejad is Hitler

North Korea likes Iran ... 

Saudi Arabia hates Iran

Julian Assange is Dennis Kucinich.

PFC Manning will never see the sun again.

America needs a new president.

Editor's note -- The Gazette reminds the Sea World dolphins that America can't get a new president until 2012.
