The Result is in... (sort of)

I hereby declare myself GENERALISSIMO CIGARMAN ruler of all I survey. The people clamor for election results. They should not be DENYed... Therefore, I declare martial law in the CO forum,Starwood forum, and small parts of the Hilton forum. The rest of the forums will not be involved in the culutral revolution. I decree much smoking, drinking, and celebration to be held spontainously at, exactly, 10pm tonight in live chat. The peoples cabinet shall consist of the following appointments:

Minister of knowing all those doohickeys we need to fly AIR Cigars planes- B747-007

Minister of making the gameboy/ nitendo work so that the people will be complacenent- Marcus Baccus

Minister of cultural affairs- Tech girl since west texas is world reknown for its culture... and she demanded to be in charge of something!

Minister of nothing- Howie. enough said

Ministers of propaganda- Dan Hammer and Danville 1k... they fly UA... they KNOW all the tricks to keep people confused and happy with a second rate administration

More appointments will be made in the HUGE annoucement to take place monday... It may be either an announcement or just mearly take place near me... since im huge. I appoint N866abc (patrick) to be in charge since he flies Delta and understands these HUGE announcements.
The previous appointment of DOC as the minister of information is hereby rescinded... WE didn't need THAT MUCH INFORMATION... and the island does not have enough electrcity to power all those computers of his.
Until the invetable revolution, Al Haig showing up, or the actual resolution of the election... I remain your faithless leader...

So, should I put you down for a US$10,000 donation to the "Bail out cigarman"* fund?

Wouldn't that be grossly unfair to all the others now serving jail terms?

Could that possibly be "cruel and unusal" punishment?

Scared straight!

Um, cigar... as I have always stated... I have culture despite having lived in West Texas for two years and nine months. (Wow... seems strange to think I completed a degree in that time and still managed to consume a small distillery in the process.)

That said, I appreciate the appointment... as all of the other appointees know, I not only know all of the culturally correct (in C-man terms, anyhow) institutions in the Big D, but also throughout the Panhandle.

Let the decadance begin....

Probably a silly question... but is this going to be considered a "benevolent" dictatorship?

I wish to annouce more appointments so that the people will be pleased...
The mission, to the americus, position will be staffed by Chexfan...
The ministry of spies shall be staffed by Missydarling as she is deep "inside" the eskino empire and watching our interests.
The ministry of reinformation (making what the general says actually make sense) shall be run by JanAz as she has a Z in her name, and we want someone who can use ALL the letters...

Cigarman, your excelency, congratulations on your election. I have a hard to get stick that perhaps you would like to savour, a Cohiba Millenium Torpedo... (got 2 as a gift from a good friend who still had some left from early 2000 when he stocked up on those).

Are you planning to make an FT gathering sometime soon...?

Cheers,
Alejandro (Gaucho100K)
