King Juan Carlos of Spain abdicates

King Juan Carlos of Spain has announced his intention to abdicate, after nearly 40 years on the throne.

“A new generation must be at the forefront… younger people with new energies,” the 76-year-old king said in a televised address.

His son, Crown Prince Felipe, 45, will take over the throne.

I would rather have Betty embalmed and strapped to her throne, than have that muppet in charge.
