Despotic Ruler of the Republic of Tea |

|
The Earl of Grey |
From May 3, 2002
On Friday, the president departed from Washington for the annual Evil-doer's Summit. The summit is held every year in the
Republic of Tea. The summit's host, the Earl of Grey, is very excited to have a U.S. president at the event for the
first time ever. "We usually always have the usuals: The CEOs of the tobacco and oil companies, PLO Chairman Arafat,
Saddam, and Kathy Lee. It's really a feather in our cap to have the American president coming. The Republic of Tea is
located just off of the coast of Central America.Colonized by the British in 1897 for it's sweet, sweet tea, the island won
it's independence in 1974. Great Britain's former ambassador to the Republic, the Earl of Grey, declared himself the despotic
leader of the nation shortly after it's independence was won. Despite the fact that the island is called a Republic, Grey
is a ruthless dictator, keeping all tea to himself. In 1986, the Earl held the first Evil-doer's Summit. The summit
is a week-long discussion of evil deeds being carried out. The summit goers also discuss evil plans that are in the works.
The president is due to return from the summit on May 10.
