Seriously, if I had to spend my days on bullshit photo ops, pretending to take seriously the people who are pretending to take me seriously…
…I’d just flip completely out one morning and carpet-nuke Liechtenstein or something.

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.

Are you trying to tell us that the founder and CEO of TUAK isn’t followed everywhere by a worshipful herd of minions, press, security and sycophants? Tell me it isn’t true!
The Democrat party actually tweeted that as an official Memorial Day greeting. To his credit, Jake Tapper condemned it on Twitter. Just look at the adoring gaze of the kneeling blonde, watching her God-King eat his waffle cone like any other mortal.
Liechtenstein? DC is a lot closer. 🙂
Then there’s the possibly-apocryphal story of the doughnut shop owner telling the advance party of secret service agents that he didn’t want the prez entering his shop as it would be bad for business and he didn’t like him anyway. The SS guys laughed, applauded, and bought a dozen.
Unlike the previous two holders of the office, Barry is not at all a gregarious individual. Watching his stiff and uncomfortable body language when having to fake it in large groups of strangers is about the only time I can’t help but feel empathy for the dude.
The “adoring gaze” mentioned above goes a long way toward explaining the last two elections.
