So far this is what I've got <Font size=5>The Imperium of George Dumbya, The Texas Twit, 2001-2004 <Font size=3>Sovereign Strutting Georgie Porgie, the Crawford Creep, whose intellect belies the adage that “everything is bigger in Texas.”The Imperial Court – Nights of the Black Hole Baron von Rumsfeld, the Don of the DoD - major fiefdom of the Realm, Deputy Commander-in-chief and Grand Strategist of the “Mightiest Army and Police Force of the World”. Countess Condoleezza, Court Jester for the powerful – give the screw-ups to Conde, no one takes her seriously anyway. Dick Rasputin Cheney, the Éminence Grise Shelob spider at the center of the web - control the goose-stepping minions, use them as cannon fodder for power and profit, Halliburton Hegemon Über Alles Cardinal Karl Richlieu-Rove, Consigliare and the Supreme Evangelical Svengali of the Grand Inquisition – resistance will be crushed, annihilate all dissent, destroy the Unbelievers. Colin “Good Soldier” Rommel-Powell, ÖberGruppenFührer of the Imperial Guards - allegiance to country means allegiance to the commander-in-chief, no matter what. Johan Goebbels Asscrotch, SS-Sturmführer of the Thought Police and Exalted Scrutineer of Sauron’s Eye – all behavior will be known and no deviant (I define deviant.) behavior will be tolerated. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just something to keep me occupied. Anyone should feel free to add to the list. JMO lurqer
