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.

This is the second bizarre Cain ad I’ve seen today.
Attention-getting, though.
I like Cain. I mean, except for the fact that nearly everything he stands for is creepy and idiotic. Of the entire Republican pack, I think he’d be the most interesting one to run against Obama. (Wouldn’t you just love to hear the O campaign trying to play the race card?) And Cain really is one of the few who’s ever done anything worth doing in the real world.
Um, seriously? I cry for the fact that real money was spent in the belief this is how to appeal to voters.
Can I wake up now? Please?
Jonathon there is no real money in the US anymore, it’s all Chinese monopoly money……
why does everyone ignore Ron Paul? Cain was a fed reserve chairman. Is that something really worth doing?
Why “everybody” (meaning the media) ignores Ron Paul is a darned interesting question and it’s good to see it being addressed by people like Jon Stewart.
Why “everybody” (meaning the above commenters) ignores Ron Paul is a different matter. It might be that we have such a longtime fondness for Paul that we don’t even need to mention him in the context of making fun of the rest of the Republican rat pack. It might be that we know he hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in a rigged election. It might be that we think the whole election business is such an absurdity that we mention it only to laugh at it — in which case, do you really want anybody going after poor, noble RP?
