You know hector it has been about a hundred years since you've composed anything maybe you should work on that when you're no longer president.

I'm not really going to run But I suggest you try and get Minister for the Arts (or whatever the US equivalent is) in the victorious government, and then you can invest all your budget in opera

I'm sure I'll get some comfy position...a director of Opera would be good, though as of yet, I don't think the moot has an opera house...

There is no "Minister of the Arts'

in the US. There's a pitiful rearguard action by dedicated but unskilled largely volunteer organizations to prevent our complete descent into vulgarity.

I'll work on the Opera house, Hector, but we'd better start negotiating with the Ents for fallen wood to build it.

Our grandchildren might live to see it.

You negotiate with the Ents, I'll start assembling an Orchestra and some vocal talents...after all, you can't have Opera with only a building

Actually the less the government is involved in the arts the better IMO, most everything the government touches turns not to gold, but to crap. just look at FEMA

Particularly in the cafe.

That's why I think Bush and his cronies should stop picking my pocket and let Halliburton invade its own countries.

But that doesn't affect the truth of the assertion that the US has no Minister of Arts.

Hector, you're allergic to work. Put down that baton and find me an Ent that's not asleep.

*pipes up* I have a contract with the Ents, I made it through Quickbeam. Only took a couple of months. I already have the rights to the fallen stock and even to some live ones that have to be culled. If you want I can let you take a portion from our shipments. I'll let you have the building quality lumber, which looks nicer. I just need the durable, but not so nice looking stuff for siege engines.

I'm generous, and I like opera houses. I'll help fund the arts of the Teacup.

Last sane,

I'll bake you some scones.

Or if Hector can stop posing for his monument he can write a melody for your song of praise.

I'm thinking:
' The Last Sane Person is a righteous babe
she's first in battle, our hides to save
She's inaugurating our new Golden age
Sing "Ho" for the Last Sane Person.

The Last Sane Person, patron of the arts
with great seige engines to avoid orc darts
still watching Mirkwood 'cause she's got real smarts
Sing "Hey" for the Last Sane Person."

15 verses do? Do you have a favorite color?
