Many gracious thanks.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader thanks each and every one of you who wished him a happy birthday. Special thanks must go to the Poet Laureate and the AirMarshal for their birthday posts.

For the record, everything in the Poet Laureate's post is true. And only part of what the AirMarshal wrote is... Heh...

In case you were interested, Yahoo provides a completely meaningless listing of facts associated with your Maximum Leader's birthday. The History Channel also has such a page.

All in all, the day has been a good one. Among the tribute received by your Maximum Leader were some books, some DVDs, and a record. The Villainettes informed their sainted father that he would be receiving a photo of Ronald Reagan to be framed and matted with the Laying-in-State card he got at the US Capitol. So that is something which will be greatly anticipated.

Of course, what your Maximum Leader didn't get was a photo (or even a photoshop forgery) of a beautiful female reader wearing a Nakedvillainy Thong or T-shirt (or both). Sadly that gift will have to wait for another time... (Female minions, remember! Any day you send a photo of yourself to your Maximum Leader is a good day for your Maximum Leader.)

Now we must all await the arrival of the wee Villain. Which should happen at any moment now...

Carry on.
