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 have been in favor of just hiring a mercenary army for years.  Particularly if each company has a cool name.  We could hire the Black Falcons to conquer Iran for us.
I think I'd rather go with the Eridani Light Horse for that mission.  If they're not available, then the Kell Hounds.
Munch.

And by the way, those union bastards at Canada Post have gone on strike.  They have one of the world's sadest picketlines across the street from my office right now.
Yeah.  The degree to which everyone is unimpressed by their strike is sort of humourous.  Even the left is busting on them.

If you want it done right you hire Wolfe's Dragoons. :nerd:
MUNCH.

It's an unofficial BattleTech term.  Something that is considered overpowered or 'cheap' is called 'munch'.  Wolf's Dragoons are, along with the Clans, considered to be the high point of munchiness.

What about McCarran's Armored Cavalry?  Are they munch or is it cool for them to conquer Iran? :hmm:

Aw, Valmy deleted his nerd post. :(

I thought we had done enough Battletech :P

But anyway I said Black Falcons not

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Jade Falcons are a bunch of fags.

Ah.  No disagreement here.

And Valmy - there can never be enough Battletech.

Big Mac is OK.  They're Liao, so it's like they're handicapped right there.
