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.

Norwegian papers are bitching about the illegality of the "extra-legal" killing, and the illegality of the the burial at sea. Apparently islam condemns dumping the bodies of murderers at sea.

Funny that it doesn't seem to condemn suicide bombers, child molesterers and rapists.

Man they have rules for everything.

Square footage looks pretty respectable.  Also can't see the courtyard from the picture.

Yes ABC said it was 8 or so times the size of other 'mansions'/complexes* in the area.


*actually we need to be more precise with the terminology, I think Pakistani government safe house would be more accurate.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Illegality of the burial?
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

From what I read, it sounds like this was built specifically for him.  Somebody really important was knew he was there. <_<
