The Day The Dead Come Back To Life



Yesterday was Walpurgis Eve and today is May 1, which means thousands of Swedes are out demonstrating. What are they demonstrating for? The exhumation and reinstation of Lenin and Stalin and Mao Zedong. And that's why the first of May is a "Red Day" in Sweden, a day of blood.

The Social Democratic Workers' Party has been in power for the better part of a century, which is why Sweden has the highest taxes in the world, but not the world's best healthcare or schools or whatever. Its symbol is, of course, a smirking monkey.

Sweden sounds like a happening place, how can I become a Swedish citizen?

Uh, no. Clearly you haven't been paying attention.

Mysterious: The easiest way is to ask one of your parents to be Swedish.

I didn't come back to life until today.

You weren't entirely dead to begin with. You just wished you were.
