Does anyone remember voting for "a king" in the last election??
I certainly don't. The words of Monty Python ring true once again --

Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.

King Arthur: Well I am king.

Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
King Arthur: I am your king.

Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Woman: Well how'd you become king then?


King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.

Dennis: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

King Arthur: Bloody peasant!

Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you?

2. Love Monty Python and they excelled in slaying sacred cows.

Well, it seems that Bush wasn't elected, but appointed in 2000, and evidence is becoming pretty clear now that the results of Ohio's election in 2004 were bogus as well.

4. Do you even remember having an election?
In 2000, * was not elected, but appointed by Scalia and his cohorts on the SCOTUS (playing the role of the watery tart.)

And in 2004, the "election" was a Diebold-scripted farce, with Diebold lobbing a scimitar at most of the country.

Yes we all saw the repression!!!

6. LOL! "Tell Congress to Crown Him King or Impeach Him Now!"
That's what a caller said yesterday on Ed Schultz' show during the second hour. :thumbsup:
