Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was reading about Annika’s travails in her new digs when the last part of her post jarred your Maximum Leader’s memory.

William Jefferson Clinton.

Now your Maximum Leader realizes that he has said some very uncharitable things about our former president in the past. (And this post may contain a few more…) But, your Maximum Leader believes that most of his criticisms of Bill Clinton were policy based.

Your Maximum Leader believed that something was fishy about Whitewater, but nothing could be “pinned” on the Clintons. And it isn’t like all the various Special Prosecutors didn’t try.

NB: Your Maximum Leader was going through some old (pre-blog) e-mails between himself and the AirMarshal and Big Ho to find something he thought he wrote about. But he can’t find it. In a series of messages either the AirMarshal, or Big Ho, (or both) were surprised that your Maximum Leader did not support the Special Prosecutor law and was glad to see it expire. The Special Prosecutor is a bad idea. It is a creature that is neither executive, nor legislative, nor really judicial It spends lots of money, appears to be answerable to nobody (and don’t blather on about the “3 Judge Panel” - they didn’t do a damn thing to rein in any SP), and just goes on and on and on. The SP is really an abrogation by the legislative branch of their responsibility. (Hey… The legislative branch not doing what is should! That could be a whole post in an of itself.) If the executive does something the legislature things is wrong-headed or illegal, they (that is the Congress - House and/or Senate) should hold hearings and investigate. If they don’t feel they can expend their political capital on hearings. Well then tough toenails. The executive gets a free pass. Anyway… Where was your Maximum Leader… Oh yes…

The bimbo eruptions really didn’t bother your Maximum Leader too much either. Except insomuch as they spoke to the president’s character. Your Maximum Leader does believe that Bill Clinton’s character leaves much to be desired, by my standards. You may have different standards. (You likely do in fact, that doesn’t make yours right by any stretch it just makes them yours.) But your Maximum Leader believes that most Americans, as evidenced by Clinton winning two elections, have lower standards than does he in the character department. (And don’t blather on about Perot in ‘92 or how Clinton never won over 50% of the popular vote… It doesn’t matter now, and didn’t at the time either. Our system worked the way it was meant to.)

As for the whole Monica thing. Your Maximum Leader didn’t really care that Clinton was getting his animal instincts satisfied by an intern. Okay, that isn’t fully true. There are serious issues with the leader of the free world making a young intern the instrument of his sexual gratification. But, assuming they were both consenting adults (which it seems they were) that somewhat mitigates the whole thing. What is most distressing is Clinton lying about it under oath in a judicial proceeding. Why put yourself in that situation Bill? It is stupid. Your Maximum Leader has little use for public officials who lie in sworn testimony. Anyway…

What really annoyed your Maximum Leader about Bill Clinton was that he is an obviously talented and intelligent man who didn’t really believe in anything. Your Maximum Leader takes that back, Bill Clinton believes in Bill Clinton. That is what is annoying. He is a smooth operator in politics. He can be very thoughtful. But in the end, his political compass is geared only towards making people like him. Your Maximum Leader is convinced that at any time before he graduated from law school Bill Clinton could have become a Republican. The label just didn’t matter to him. He is a left-leaning centrist. He very easily could have been a right-leaning centrist if the right people had gotten to him early enough. (Pardon the pun.)

It is the waste of talent that both annoys and aggrevates your Maximum Leader. Your Maximum Leader watched Clinton’s speech to the Chicago Book Fair (the one that kicks off his new book tour). It was a great speech. It showed everything of which Clinton was capable. He was thoughtful, charming, and insightful. In a way it showed the lost potential of his presidency. If he had been able to harness his energies for a useful purpose he could have accomplished much more.

But he didn’t.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader looked at this and thought “Geek Alert!” It is either that or the beginning of an invasion… Your Maximum Leader will have to try and contact Orson Welles’ preserved brain to find out.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was preparing a little post for the D-Day celebrations tomorrow. And that post was winding up being a bit link to a Ronald Reagan speech. That post will still run tomorrow, but your Maximum Leader found this post of Skippy’s rather sad. It seems the Toronto Globe and Mail is reporting that Reagan’s health is failing and he may soon die.

When it happens, your Maximum Leader will be quite sad; but also happy that his and his family’s suffering will have ended.

Carry on.

Update: Other news outlets report the same thing.

My Mr. Villain is quite naive. I suppose the Mrs. is unaware of alternate activities? Or is Mr. Villain so ridiculously stubborn as to willingly deny himself to make a point? Actually, I know the answer to that last question. It’s “Yes”.

God gave you a hand, didn’t he? Quit whining, go out, buy a magazine, and take care of business yourself.

Update from your Maximum Leader: That was what the last few lines were about…

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader enticed you with the title, oui? Bien sur oui. Yes loyal minions, once and a while your Maximum Leader decides to post a little sexy stuff to the ole blog. (And he promises to not once mention Jennifer Love Hewitt… D’oh!)

Your Maximum Leader was reading over the Reuters news wire and found this. First the Japanese get all prudish about sex, and now the Swedes! What is the world coming to? Are we all becoming Lutheran? (Well, at least the Swedes who still go to church instead of sucking off the teat of their liberal-socialist-welfare-monarchist-state.) You know, Norm is running some special where he will teach you what to eat and such to increase stamina during those adult activities…

Speaking of adult activities… Your Maximum Leader was reading Cerebral Bypass this morning and noticed this post which contains a link to a not work safe site. (Really it is not safe for work!) So your Maximum Leader looked over the link… Humm…

It was probably not a good thing for your Maximum Leader to do. Think about sex. Why you may ask? Well, although he normally refrains from mentioning these types of things in this forum… Your Maximum Leader hasn’t been getting any “action” from Mrs. Villain. Why you may ask? Doctor’s orders. While she has been with little Villain, the Doctor has said no conjugation. No release for your Maximum Leader’s animal instincts. Consequently your Maximum Leader has been a little… What is the word? Uptight. Tense. Frustrated. Humm… Any of those will do.

You know it is a sad state of affairs when the happily married Maximum Leader is not getting his needs met as frequently as Kilgore or Skippy.

What about your Maximum Leader’s long term prostate health? What’s a Maximum Leader to do? Start the MWO sooner and in a fit of pent-up rage? Can he seek “professional” help? We know that if your Maximum Leader were in Germany he couldn’t get the state to pay for it. But what if he had the means to procure such services? Here is a question for you. Is medicially required loss of consortium a technical loophole through which “professional” help in this type of matter may not constitute grounds for divorce?

NB: After much consultation, Mrs. Villain doesn’t consider it a loophole in her book. And she also resists my arguments allowing such a loophole in the whimsically codified law of the MWO. Humm… Your Maximum Leader will have to work on that a little more.

Well, with “professional” help out of the question what else is there? Well, your Maximum Leader will not start exposing himself while getting take away food that is for sure. And poultry is also out of bounds. That only leaves.. well… you know…

Carry on.

Old news, but funny and disturbing at the same time. If there had only been an intern to take care of his tricky dick, maybe he wouldn’t have had to drown his sorrows.

What? The Japanese are losing interest in sex? That’s what USATODAY claims.

And to think, this from the country that brought you used panty machines and Karaoke.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees that George Tenet has resigned. Humm… Finally couldn’t take all the fire? Going to be scapegoated for something?

Regardless of the reason… It is about time

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has been reading the Grand Vizier’s site for a while now. He commends this post to you. Your Maximum Leader can certainly hope that the intifada is winding down. Of course, the cynic in your Maximum Leader says that the insurrection isn’t winding down to an end; only giving itself time until the next generation of suicide bombers turns 13.

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader will continue with the sports theme today.

First, he directs your attention to this post from Keith Burgess-Jackson. What is it about baseball that inspires people? Your Maximum Leader’s library contains a few sports books. Most of them about Baseball. (One hockey and two football - but one football book is actually a Vince Lombardi bio so that might not count all the way.) Of the sports books that your Maximum Leader has read (more than he owns in fact) the baseball books stand out. They have an almost epic flow to them. They read well. Other sports books don’t stand up that well…

As forthe AirMarshal’s post on the NHL… The professional hockey game is dying in the US. It is being killed by overexpansion and self-importance (well put by Boswell in fact) that renders it dumb to the rest of the sports world. Your Maximum Leader well remembers so many hockey games. He saw his first game in 1976. It was a Washington Capitals game. The Caps were so bad then. Indeed, your Maximum Leader went to probably 10-15 games a season from 1976 to 1980 without seeing a Caps victory. All losses or ties.

Through the mid-1990’s your Maximum Leader would have listed his favourite sports as (in decending order): hockey, baseball, football. Then hockey started it’s declining spiral. As your Maximum Leader noted in his recent post, he hasn’t watched a Stanley Cup finals game. This is the first time in decades he hasn’t. He only went to one hockey game this year. He just feels the quality of the game has declined so much that the game is hard to watch. And neither the owners nor the players seem to care much for the desires of the fans. If your Maximum Leader were to name his favourite sports now he would say: footbal, baseball, and sometimes hockey.

It is sad really. Your Maximum Leader feels as though he has lost something that should be more important to him than it is. Ah well.

Carry on.

Thomas Boswell argues, in the Washington post that Hockey is on its way to losing its status as a “Major” sport. I hate to say it, but I completely agree.

MaxLead and I have been going to Hockey games together for almost two decades. My wife and I have been Season Ticket Holders for the Washington Capitals. We, along with MaxLead and his dad were in the building in ‘98 when Detroit skated with the Cup on Washington Ice. Seeing the Stanley Cup presented in person has been one of the highlites of my life as a sports fan.

However, Hockey has been in decline since the fall of ‘94. Hockey went from strenght to strength in the two decaded ending with the Rangers Cup win in ‘94. the 1994 NHL playoffs were as good as sports get. Great comebacks, upsets, guaranteed victories. The Rangers/Devils series was IMHO the best playoff series in modern hockey history.

Then Bettman came into his own. The lockout killed any momentum that the NHL had gained, and set it back in terms of popularity and revenue. Yet despite playing hardball in that they shut down the league, the owners came away losing. No Salary Cap, No Revenue sharing. Same old shit. In order to make up revenue, the league over-expanded. In addition, NHL officials lost their whistles some time in the mid 90s. The game on the ice slid to a grinding halt.

Simply put, the product on the ice blows now. It’s horribly boring to watch. Today’s NHL bears no resemblence to the game of Gretzky, Kurri, Gartner, Bossy, Lemieux. Today’s game is almost unwatchable for me. And the NHL has noone to blame but itsself. They’ve tinkered with the rules, added teams, changed uniforms, yet the problems remain undealt with.

How to save the game?
1. Contraction. Eliminate about 10 teams. Sorry, but it has to go. Move 10 franchises to the minors.
2. Salary Cap. Lower salaries.
3. Make sure next season happens at all costs.
4. Media blitz. Get the players out in the community at all costs.
5. Fix officiating. Call ALL penalties. Open up the ice, and speed up the game.

None of this will happen, however, and the NHL is doomed.

I forgot the big “P”. Porn. Darn it.

You want more traffic Mr. Maximum Ledhead? You got it.

Amateur Naked Lesbian Jpegs? Don’t see any here. Midget Housewife Voyeurs? Not a favorite topic here. Celebrity Anal Sex Mpegs? Maybe the Minister of Propaganda can help out here, but you really won’t find any Famous Nude Buttholes here.

Update from your Maximum Leader: What? You forgot: cheap viagra, peni enlargement, boobs, and so many others…

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was doing a little review of last month’s site server statistics. He promises not to bore you with lots of details but let your Maximum Leader say this, he really appreciates the Poet Laureate, Kilgore, Annika, Dr. Rusty, Dr. Burgess-Jackson and Anna for all the traffic they send on to us here at Nakedvillainy.

And your Maximum Leader must commend the AirMarshal for his booze posts. We have received 5 visitors in the first 2 days of June from people searching for the words “Sam Adams Triple Bock.” Google results here, Yahoo results here. As we all know, after sex, booze is an easy sell. So keep booze-blogging going!

Carry on.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader is saddened by the passing of the great writer/historian William Manchester. Your Maximum Leader, a great Churchill fan (perhaps a Churchill worshipper), now will never get to read the final volume of his “Last Lion” series. If you want to get a feel for what Churchill was like, read the opening chapter of Manchester’s “The Last Lion: Alone.” It details a typical day in Churchill’s life at Chartwell, his home in Kent, in the early 1930s.

Rest in Peace William.

Carry on.
