Martinus

Is he married to Michele Bachmann? If so, he stares the eldritch horror in the face on a daily basis.

I think King retired the Bachman persona after it came out it was him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Yeah, I don't know who this "Stephen King" guy is, might be R.B.'s current nom de plume so he can write really fucked-up horror books without losing his credibility.

Bachman died in 1985 of cancer.

For those who haven't figured it out - Martinus has been listening to some right wing blog with a gay blogger he finds cute so he has decided he is a conservative rabid anti leftist now.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

So that explains the gratuitous Michelle Bachman insults?  :hmm:

He doesn't like her because she's a woman.

Didn't he detonate himself in his own home or fatally collapse during a walk/run 500k?

Some SEALS shot him and dumped his body in the northern Arabian Sea.

It is pretty hilarious that Martinus pays attention to Milo of all people.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I don't know, I mean he seems like someone whose career has followed a path perfectly suited for having Marti like him.
