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.

I’m offended that we cannot say Christmas.
Surrender to the forces of tolerance and all (except white christian males and those who sympathize or agree with them in any way) inclusiveness, Paul.
Merry Whatever and a happy New Year, Joel!
Joel, regrettably that sign is more true than not. Even I as an avowed non believer find it totally retarded how so many people get their panties in a bunch over the most ridiculous things. I personally don’t give two craps about religion, people can do whatever they want. I even say merry Christmas to anyone who says it to me (without being offended). Hell I was even ok when my wife decided we needed to send our boy to Catholic school. The people in this country just need to get over themselves.
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!! Merry Christmas! Happy Christmas!!!
I live in a socialist college town and I love saying “Merry Christmas.” Especially if the recipient is a Southwest Asian (as the Brits say.) Or a granola-crunching tree hugger. Or a Marxist-socialist.
Singing all the old religious carols with the good words still in.
Toss in an occasional Saint’s Day reference, or “Godspeed” or a foreign variant.
Love saying “Vaya con Dios” to all the wiccans and supposed ‘satanists’ in this berg and laugh at them accepting it. And then point out afterwards loudly as they’re walking away exactly what it means.
I love to offend. And it’s one of my primary talents.
