The Imperial…er, King
By Mitch Berg
When he’s had a couple of tots of Armenian brandy, King can be a jovial sort (and no, that’s not what he does before going on the air, although I can’t speak for his blogging-from-home technique).
But when he’s drunk with power, it’s a whooooole ‘nother thing:
I have stated that I have NARN as councilors in this matter, but all decisions regarding any membership revocation will be issued from this office and is the responsibility of the mayor alone.
King “Musharraf” Banaian has declared a MOB state of emergency and absorbed all government power unto himself? What’s next – Chad “Bhutto” the Elder being held under hard-to-sell-house arrest?
The MOB’s constitutional crisis – the question “who will control the MOB’s boundless enforcement power and ruthless policy-setting machinery” – grows.
Who will survive?
Stay tuned.

You elected a guy with the first name is King! What did you expect?
That saidm, a wise leader will step in to calm matters to avoid any un-necessary damage done in the heat of the moment. I have to say that I 100% support this move by King.
The fact that it works out great for me has no bearing on my opinion regarding this issue.

Sad to say, there’s probably 90 blogs on that list I haven’t read in months, including Anti-Strib.
He’s distancing himself. Quick, somebody check IP addresses.

Word on the street is that Atomizer has called an important meeting for his followers at Keegan’s later this week. This may be the beginning of his promised Irish Pub Putsch to topple King’s corrupt regime. Developing…

Wow.
Normally, I’d stay out of this sort of thing – sort of like Dag Hammarskjold, above and beyond it all.
But…hm.
Might have to check this out.

But the MOBroll is not a choice of this blog or that. You may either display it all or none of it. Those MOB members who wish to take the MOBroll down because of its link to Anti-Strib or any other blog may be considered for violation of the privileges of membership, applying Rule 4 stated above.
I may have to throw my support behind the new regime. Now to begin the purge! Examine every member’s blogroll! MOB integrity will be enforced!
Where did I put that brown shirt?

Kermit asked: “Where did I put that brown shirt?”
In the closet, next to the other 12.

To be fair it was satire. When a person is so completely, totally, unrelentingly immersed in it, it becomes hard to identify in another’s comment.

[…] Yesterday, I noted that in the wake of Karl Bremer’s rapier-like assault at the heart of the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers’ content-management and enforcement policies, King Banaian had assumed an unconscionable amount of power unto himself, and declaring himself superior to the Northern Alliance’s “advice and consent” role. In effect, he has declared himself absolute dictator of the MOB. […]

Swiftee, your insult doesn’t even make sense. You’re saying Angryclown’s underwear is brown? Cause it has lots of skid marks I guess? Is there anything in Angryclown’s post that you’re even ripping on?
You’ve always been a vicious asshole, Swiftee. But Angryclown remembers a time when you *cared* about being a vicious asshole. You would carefully craft your weird, scatological insults. But lately you’re just phoning it in.
