Minion Mailbag Vol 1

Greetings again loyal minions. As you are well aware each day the number of those dedicating themselves to the MWO grows significantly. Yes, your Maximum Leader is pleased by the swelling masses of minions poised to take up arms to bring about the MWO. Your Maximum Leader is also keenly aware of the volume of electronic correspondence sent his way. From time to time, your Maximum Leader will publicly respond to some of this correspondence. Let this be the first installment of what your Maximum Leader will now style his Minion Mailbag. Let us begin with this message...

Dear Maximum Leader:

Please, please, please do not hurt me... But I have to admit I don't understand the whole naked villainy thing. You sign yourself the Maximum Leader. But you also seem to refer to yourself as the naked villain. The name of the blog site is nakedvillainy not maximumleader. I dont' get it Please explain it all.

Confused Minion

Dear Confused Minion:

Allow your Maximum Leader to take you from the darkness and lead you to the broad sunlit uplands that will be the MWO. As a man of culture and refined tastes, your Maximum Leader is a great fan of The Bard. Indeed one of your Maximum Leader's favourite plays is Richard III. Many of the unwashed might point out that it would appear to be a contradiction that the Maximum Leader would be a fan of the play that is so mean and vicious towards his favourite monarch. Well, your Maximum Leader is able to separate works of literature from real history. Your Maximum Leader believes that the real King Richard III of England was a good man who rashly left high ground and charged headlong into enemy ranks and consequently met with an unfortunate end at Bosworth. (Your Maximum Leader will refer you to the fine websites of the Richard III societies of the US and Britain for more real history.) But your Maximum Leader is particularly fond of the character of Richard in Shakespeare's play. He talks to the audience. He engages the audience. And he is gleeful in his plotting. Your Maximum Leader was particularly turned on to the play when he saw Sir Ian McKellan's one-man-show and he did some pieces of the play. Your Maximum Leader then saw Sir Ian's production of the play that was later turned into a movie. Indeed, your Maximim Leader commends the film to all his minions. But, I digress... Your Maximum Leader was gleefully happy when he first heard the lines said by Richard in Act 1, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's play. The lines are thus:

But then I sigh; and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends stolen out of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

Your Maximum Leader enjoyed them so much he decided that he would use them to further his own aims. You see, your Maximum Leader carefully hides his plotting behind layers and layers of subertuge so that no one will know that the MWO is upon them until it is too late. So, that is part of the explaination of naked villainy.

Carry on loyal minions.
