Political Power Is Overrated

As you can see from my profile picture, I once spent a short stint as the King of France. It was ok, I guess. But you don't get all the God-like powers. No mind bullets or immortality. For instance, you have to tell someone else to kill anyone you don't like, you can't just strike them down with a lightening bolt or something. And you have to tell someone what kind of wine you want. Who do they think I am Lance Armstrong? That's a lot of work. I earned the right to slack off, damnit.

What you really need to do is seize religious power and political power at the same time. Like the pharoahs. Those guys kept the universe from exploding just by having a cranium. That's a pretty sweet racket right there. Too bad I was born 35 years too late for that one.
