Slow day it seems...

Greetings loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has decided to try a quick blog to end his day. He sees that there is not much going on in this space today. He supposes we really outdid ourselves yesterday....

Your Maximum Leader added a new link to the Villainous Culture area. It is to Samuel Pepys' Diary. For the uninitiated, Samuel Pepys (pronounced: peeps) was a 17th century Englishman who kept a diary for much of his life. This site republishes his diary, day by day. It is great. If you have never heard/read/been told about Pepys you are obviously very loosely educated.

I don't know about you, but after all that happened to Roy Horn, I wouldn't keep a lion around as a pet. But on the other hand, if it was good enough for Rameses the Great, it must be good enough for your Maximum Leader.

Let's see. Yes to Elway, Art Monk, and Barry Sanders. A minion asked your Maximum Leader today if he thought Deion Sanders would make it into the Football Hall of Fame with John Elway.... Your Maximum Leader laughed and laughed and laughed. Then after wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes, ordered the minion never to come and speak with him again unless he had another good joke for your Maximum Leader's enjoyment.

Children scared of Prince Philip with a gun... What? What? Why would they be scared? He wasn't shooting at them. He was killing pheasants. Why are the children of England terrified of gunshots? Because they are completely unfamiliar with them. Sad really. Not like the schoolkids of western Virginia or Pennsylvania (or NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, etc) who often take off a day of school to join their dad's on the first day of hunting season....

Dean wins! Dean wins! (Dean wins completely unbinding, meaningless, and silly nothing of a primary.) It does surprise your Maximum Leader that Dean did win. He would have put money on Sharpton taking, as George Clinton calls it, "Chocolate City." But now it seems as though little Dick is not going to play nice.

A pity she already bred. If she had only done this 3 years ago...

They are still pretending to be a democracy in Haiti. Who knew?

Fairfax County's Jail is charging prisoners with cash to stay in the jail. If jails charged on a "means-tested" basis... What would Texas be able to charge Andy Fastow?

Worst dressed. Most skanky. Think of the awards she ought to win.

That Annika. She is so saucy. She teases her Maximum Leader so with these tales of her past, and photos of herself.

Mr. Green very angry. But unlike David Banner, we like Mr. Green when he gets angry.

But what about THE CHILDREN! Couldn't the $100/Iowa Caucus voter be better spent on THE CHILDREN. Wouldn't each of THE CHILDREN in Iowa prefer to get the $100 themselves? They would likely spend it on something stupid... But in so doing THE CHILDREN would stimulate the economy and provide jobs for their parents (and myriad sweatshop labourers overseas). And that gentle readers would be better than political advertising.

Yes yes. Dr Johnson, if he were a contemporary writer would surely modify his famous dictum to read that "Patriotism and the welfare of children are the last refuges of soundrels."

Carry on my minions.
