I'm afraid your continued skeptism about the inevitability of my rule has left me little choice relative to the question of your fate. This is not about making up rules. It's not even about the accrual of personal power. It's about finally having in place an order of rule that is good, right, and for all. I'm tired of waiting for anyone else to do it. Plato asserted that the ideal society would be ruled by a benevolent dictator, an "enlightened despot." I believe him.

I know... Story of my life. Sorry. I'll apologize more sincerely when I see you get your crown... or corner office... or whatever it is that Supreme rulers get that shows the world they've conquered they are now the boss. Hey? What perks are in this for you anyway? Besides getting to make up the rules for a bunch of whiney and demanding common-folk? ;) I know… I know… Story of my life. Sorry.

Is the request line to the future Supereme Ruler of the World ? Cool. I will refrain from making my (very worthy and clever) requests just yet - until you are in office, so to speak. Not that I doubt your plan will work or anything.... honest.... it's just that... well... I... I.... okay, I am skeptical. But, if you prove me wrong and take over the world tomorrow, I will gladly give up my right to vote, convert to Christianity, remain fat and out of the military, accept a mere 200K/year, and force myself to be seen in one of those Jetson cars. Ooooo! Oooo! can I also get one of those cool robot Rosie maids?!? Crap. Now you know what I was gonna ask for after all... *sigh* Hello?

I like junk food, junk food is important... please protect junk food and allow everyone access to it! Also, I have tried many health drinks... and most are vastly improved by adding alcohol. Will you please make that a requirement for all health drinks (that they contain alcohol)? I have a couple of requests for the new Supreme Ruler, Head Huncho, and Grand Pumba.

If there's one thing I think all of us have learned by now, it's that there's NOTHING like television to keep people from really caring all THAT much what their leader is doing. Bring on Brady Bunch Movie 3: The Return of Alice's Boyfriend, I say. Elizabeth: Absolutely not.

I always said you were a lot like Stewie Griffin on Family Guy! :) So... When you become the Most Illustrious Potentate, will you also ban Brady Bunch reruns and any of those awful movies from then?
