The Ultimate Answer to Kings: Breaking! Fox News Hires Olbermann!

They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means "The Ultimate Argument of Kings," and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. "We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it's about: You'll do as I say or I'll send my goons to kill you."

I thought about that for a long time. If there's an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I've got bullets - he's got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that's not going to happen. So if there's an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain't bullets.

It finally came to me - and that's when I left the city, abandoned a goodly percentage of my goods, and gave all that was behind me a good, stiff Randian Shrug.

The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Ken Hagler said...: It was actually thinking when I heard that he got fired that going to Fox would be a perfect career move for him. He was really good during the Bush administration at coming up with strong, well-worded criticisms that he obviously didn't believe for a second, given that he stopped the moment Obama started doing all the same things. By getting a job at Fox he could get back to what he was good at...; January 23, 2011 at 11:39 PM
