#1 Triumph of the Will. Or, as his hip hop supporters would probably call it, Tryumf of Da Will...

#4 Aryabhatta was a Greek? Who knew.

#5 I saw the picture and thought, "Hey, I've seen something like this before." Then I remembered and found a picture (though designed and built by better people than this) of the temple and sports arena.

#7 Loved that final touch with a big star shining upon the podium. Though I doubt anyone can find three wise men in the entire stadium.

#8 I think I've seen that episode. I'll load up Elder Scrolls again for another run tonight then.

#9 You guys act as if the big 0 isn't a greek god.

The MSM is convinced he is.

#10 I think this will play more into the growing idea with the American public that this guy is all flash and little substance and he thinks very, very highly of himself.

#11 Deacon Blues, you owe me a new keyboard. ;)

It will be interesting to see how the polls react after this bizarre little coronation scene/superbowl halftime show. I'm betting no change or even negative territory, with stories in the media about how it doesn't matter.....blah blah blah.

#14 Free men gird your loins and keep your xiphos near. The rebirth of the cult of tyrannicides may be at hand.

#16 This guy's really starting to buy into his own hype. How long will it be before he decides he must have more power and gets the Senate and House to grant him unconditional authority to rule by decree?

There are more than a few people in his corner who'd be willing to grant him the authority of a Roman Caesar which seems to be what he's modeling himself after.

How long after that until some people start calling him the AntiChrist?

You're way behind the curve on that one, FG. ;-p
