To: Cincinatus' Wife; All
I am watching "Braveheart" for he umteenth time as background noise.

But Old Man Bruce, his verbage caught my ear, and he reminds me of Romney, and the RNC / GOP will do and or feel about "US"...

"You will embrace this rebellion. Support it from our lands in the north. I will gain English favor by condemning it and ordering opposed from our lands in the south. Sit down. Stay awhile."

"It is time... to *survive*. You're the seventeenth Robert Bruce. The sixteen before you passed you land and title because they *didn't* charge in. Call a meeting of the nobles."

"Rightly so. They're as rich in English titles and lands as they are in Scottish, just as we are. You admire this man, this William Wallace. Uncompromising men are easy to admire. He has courage; so does a dog. But it is exactly the ability to *compromise* that makes a man noble. And understand this: Edward Longshanks is the most ruthless king ever to sit on the throne of England. And none of us, and nothing of Scotland will remain, unless *we* are as ruthless. Give ear to our nobles. Knowing their minds is the key to the throne."

Excellent. I’m watching Armageddon as background noise.

The world is waiting on Newt to win this, they just don’t know it.
