Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Congratulations! She’s beautiful! May she be the source of many a “belly laugh” to come.
AAAAWWWWW!
Welcome Kaelyn!
Keep an eye on your Grandpappy. He’s crotchety, but he’s got your back. Just be glad you won’t have to bring your boyfriends home for his approval!
What a sweetie! I love her name. Welcome, Kaelyn.
Sister L
Beautiful. 🙂 I love them especially when they do little but eat and sleep. Doesn’t last long, of course. 🙂 Enjoy her as much as you can when she’s little. They grow up and go away so quickly.
A hearty welcome to the young miss!
She’s adorable!
What a sweetie.
But then…they all are.
Love the anonymous look!
Awww…that’s so cute. Look, she has grandpa’s hair.
All of it!
Just in time for Ari’s the daddy’s first fathers day.
Buck.
How does she keep that black rod on her nose? Amazing at that age!
Congratulations, Joel.
I’m curious as to when I may receive the title of grandpa.
Congrats!
(I, too, was born with a black strip across my eyes. 😉 )
Yes, the family resemblance is unmistakable. Makes it a little hard to get around a room, though.
She’s (strike out)short, pink and wrinkled(/strike out) er … a real cutie but this cigar won’t stay lit.
Like others have said the small and cute phase is much shorter than it seems when you are living through it. Enjoy what there is of it.
Congrats to the Mom and Dad.
I’d send a cigar to the Grandpa but I can’t keep the danged thing lit when it is in the wrapping paper.
stay safe,
gooch
