Maximum Leader will be away.

Greetings loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader must leave the dark imposing towers of the Villainschloss and do a little travel. Is he going to confer with the Pope? Give the latest set of marching orders to Dick Cheney? Is he going to the Trilateral Commission meeting? Is he going to Belgium to see how his plans for dominating Europe through the auspices of the EU are going?

That is the question.... One that will be more shrouded in secrecy than G.W. Bush's Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad...

So while your Maximum Leader is away, he will leave this space in the trusteeship of his various Ministers. May all of you blog well in my temporary absence. Your Maximum Leader hopes to be blogging again on Sunday.

Carry on.
