Battaleon Escapes from Elba!

In an astonishing set of event, perhaps forever shrouded, the former emperor of Quacbec, Battaleon, has escaped from exile in Elba! He was spotted on the shores of Battarouge where he boarded a plane headed up for Quacbec International Airport.

Sources close to Battaleon suggest that he had a secret signal from Spanish ships circling the channel. Spain -- a former ally of Battaleon Quacaparte -- had captains loyal to him, measuring the tides. Somehow, Battaleon was able to make a raft and board one of these Spanish ships, taking him to Madrid before flying to Battarouge in Louisiana.

Reporters swamped the former emperor and asked where he was going. He said that he was destined for Quacbec, the only country for him and the country of the ducks.

In fearful anticipation, Battalouis XVIII has fled from Quacbec and is said to be headed to London. After being made king, Battalouis XVIII's regime has become rather unpopular through oppressive decisions taken on by the king.

Of course, only 10 years ago, Battalouis XVIII's older brother and absolute monarch of ducks, Battalouis XVI, was beheaded in a reign of terror.
