I'd make a good Emperator. First order of business: constructing the Golden Throne of Terra and having a little chat with my boy Horus...

Hey, if I'm taking over the gig I get to decide my title. You can feel free to call me that though, bloody Limey.

If such a person were to be elected, he would have to face a struggle of abjectly mythical proportions. I disagree with longeyes here - the evil we face has been polluting Western Civilization with its presence since at least the 1930's. It's been known as Progressivism, Statism, Socialism, whichever you may call it. We cannot face it through the lens of politics as usual. We need to see ourselves as the heroes of old - as the Civil Rights marchers perharps, or perhaps as the abolitionists.

Thanks, but I'm not running, and President Longeyes has an odd ring to it... :)

I actually agree with you about this, especially about the need for the equivalent of a massive civll rights movement to deal with our common foe.

What I meant was that Obama and Palin have been absorbed and co-opted by the pop myth culture, and this makes winning this thing more, not less, difficult. Palin is not Joan of Arc, and Obama is not the Whore of Babylon... Well, wait a minute, now that I think about it...

I would need to be a psyker to qualify for this.

When I'm God-Emperor of Mankind I promise a chicken in every pot and death to the Xenos scum! No, wait, probably not the sort of politics you meant...

In any case, I'm interested in how this has been playing out in Alaska. Any updates from Carebear or Stevelyn?

Ummm... it's original purpose was as an amplifier, to give astrogators a beacon to navigate by.

Hey... wait a sec...

Is there some way we can convince the TOTUS that this would be a good idea?

Poor Al. The smaller your audience, the crazier your callers.

That was actually crazier than the WH40K discussion we're having. Heck, that's stranger than ANYTHING I've seen here on APS yet!

I want some of whatever she's smoking!

Anyhow, she's stated at this point that she stepped down to get out of the way, that lawsuits against her and her administration were hampering her ability to run the state. I'm curious, anyone know what these lawsuits were?

By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer Mary Pemberton, Associated Press Writer – 20 mins ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The former fiance of Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter says he thinks he knows why the Alaska governor is resigning — concerns over money.

Levi Johnston, 19, whose wedding to Bristol Palin was called off earlier this year, says he believes the governor is resigning over personal finances.

Isn't she being held by the Israelis right now for trying to run a blockade?

First the little bastard leaves, then he tries to hawk a tell-all book, and now he's making statements based purely on assumptions.

If Palin were like our governor here in WI, that kid would be at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

In the article is says Palin has stated they've got over half a mil in legal fees. Putting the article together in a linear fashion, and ignoring the little punk's agenda.....I'd probably do the same thing.

The reality of Palin's situation aside, Levi Johnson strikes me as a poster-boy for exactly what is wrong with the YouTube generation. He has already had far more than the 15 minutes of fame (or infamy) he is entitled to and is way overdrawn on his moral account.

Headless Thompson Gunner · « **Reply #222 on:** July 10, 2009, 02:18:52 PM »

Yup, ol' Levy comes across as a guy who doesn't want to let his 15 minutes end. Sadly, if he pays his cards right he could have an eager audience of ~~deranged Palin smearers~~ reputable media outlets hanging on his every word.

They aren't lawsuits. Thye're drive-by ethics complaints generated mostly as Carebear stated, singlehandedly by a leftist blogger without a life or job.
Each and everyone of have been without merit and slapped down upon examination of the facts, but regardless, it still costs money to have them investigated and defended against.

Would I get banned if I suggested you removed the word "over" in your emboldened text? It is perhaps more accurate in this instance.
