Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has not been a particularly good blogger this week. If “good blogger” is defined as “providing good content” or even defined as “providing content.” He can’t explain it, but he’s been tired and turning in early - thus not blogging.

So, in an attempt to provide fresh content… Here is some stuff off the news wires and other places…

First off… Happy Birthday (my second) Dad. Your Maximum Leader owes you a phone call. Probably he owes you a lunch too…

And while we are celebrating birthdays… Happy Day Benjamin Franklin. The true father of our country (biologically at least he did his best). You are the most entertaining of all the Founding Fathers and the one most people would likely want to go partying with. One wonders if Franklin were alive today if Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton would “want some” from Ben. No doubt Franklin would decline, as Lohan and Hilton ar low women…

Some scientists with nothing better to do have decided to declare that they have solved the mystery of Napoleon’s death. They nix-nix those who say the Brits poisoned the Emperor. It was cancer… Strange… But that is exactly what the autopsy done by the British doctors said…

If you follow those links on the page about Napoleon, you will see the “Top Ten Reasons Alexander was “Great.” Frankly… Some of the choices are lame… But it is better than a sharp stick in the eye…

Another of those links tries to start a mystery surrounding the death of George III of Great Britain. The article claims that ole Farmer George was poisoned… While Prinny never loved his dad, your Maximum Leader just doesn’t see a conspiracy…

Well… This might be all for today minions… Your Maximum Leader may try to post more tonight, but no guarantees.

Carry on.
