They say “keep your enemies close, and your friends closer”.<\/p>\n

“They” are right.<\/p>\n

King Banaian has gone too far<\/a>, proving that power, indeed, corrupts:<\/p>\n

In the words of the great Parcells, if I am making the dinner, I get to buy the groceries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make no mistake about it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. King is not “Making dinner”; the mayor is chosen to serve as the bus boy, or maybe<\/em> the kitchen’s saucier. The NARN are the chefs; the MOB are the clientele. The Groceries are bought by consent of the fed.<\/li>\n
  2. Parcells was a punk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In a moment of crisis, someone had to step up and make a decision. Since NARNians were already in turmoil over this, decisive action was needed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Wasn’t that Hitler’s justification for dissolving the Reichstag<\/em>?<\/p>\n

    So the ingratitude of this remark from Mitch will not go unnoticed:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \n

    I call upon King Banaian to relinquish control over the MOB\u2019s policy-setting apparatus and, above all, the \u201cBlue\u201d and \u201cRed\u201d lists of blogs\u2019 standings in the MOB.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    King “King” Banaian fancies himself a judge:<\/p>\n

    The Mayor’s office rules that Shot in the Dark must bear this logo in order to fly the MOBroll. There will be a meeting at the Patriot studios about this shortly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    I gotcher logo right here:<\/p>\n


    \nThis one here is much more appropriate<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    You can take my MOB, but you can’t take my freedom.<\/p>\n

    Let the war begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
