Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

We spoke too soon

Whoops, Perhaps We Spoke Too Soon -- Worst Music Video Ever
 
His name, and the name of his children--Jochi, Ogudai, Hulegu, Tolui, Chagatai -- struck fear in the hearts of the fiercest warlords. His mongol hordes, drinking the blood from cuts in their horse's necks to avoid stopping, swept through empires and tribes and established Khanates from the Caspian Sea to the Sea of Japan. The Chinese were child's play; the Great Rus to the north reduced to mere vassals.
 
And now the Awesome and Terrible name of Genghis Khan has been reduced to this:
 
 
My Spanish is a little rusty, but in the middle, they say "Kunta-Kinte says Hi!"
 
I think that's what it says. I blacked out.

BTW
There is a serious effort underway to rehabilitate Senoir Khan, becuase he could not have been so bad as the europeans say because he was a person of color. You racists should keep this in mind. HE is only to be praised!

You jest, sir! I crushed the Saracens on the sandy shore of Palermo one thousand years ago. I fear neither Temujin, nor his unholy allies, the Assistant Professors of Gender Studies at Community Colleges.

I'm afraid of the girls in that music video, though.
