You know, when somebody goes to the trouble of writing a book calling you an unstable moron, it’s possible that rushing out to act like an unstable moron won’t refute the charge.

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.

If nothing else Trump sure is entertaining isn’t he?
😀 Yeah, we’re getting our money’s worth for once.
Now if they’ll just keep him from starting a war, or forming a rich-guy junta or something…
Trump is like Limbaugh. Bombastic, self-confident, self-promoting.
They both have massive success doing what they do, too.
Some people don’t like that characteristic, and that’s fine, but it’s easy to become Kathy Griffin about it.
We all know your opinion, Joel. Why alienate so many in your audience by repeating it over and over?
bravokilo, get your own blog. Those who read Joel’s blog generally agree with him, and most of those who don’t are respectful anyway. I suspect you are the only one “alienated.”
Ditto,what Mama said. bravokilo,why would you come to Joel’s blog and tell him what to write?
Anybody’s welcome to comment about content, guys. I’m not that … bitter. 🙂
An important difference is that Trump has “the button” and Limbaugh doesn’t.
I got button on my desk too, it just says “That was easy”
