*Special Report*

The Face of a President During War
By Rohirrim TR

The wrinkles in the forehead and sleepless eyes are haunted, haunted by choiced (and poll numbers) haunted by the faces of men and hobbits sent into to battle by his command, haunted by his advisors telling him his poll numbers are dropping, haunted by the carnage he sees on the battlefield when he risks life and limb to encourage his army personally, haunted by the flesh wound from an elven snarcher (sniper + archer= snarcher). Yet through it all he lives and his poll numbers return along with his ability sleep, the quick surrender has perhaps saved him from dissaproval, though the rising elvish insurgency will no doubt task this man (and his poll numbers) for the next two years we know that he has the perserverance and creativity to find some way of reminding of everyone that HE IS the president of ENTMOOT.

RTR is Press Secretary to the Current administration as well as Campaign manager for the Brendonian candidate. He is a sith lord who lives in the Super Star Destroyer EDDIE

Or maybe the 13 days war?

The teacup/elven war?

The great elven war?
Don't forget the Sith and Imperial War, sometime between Teacup Cafe VII and Teacup Cafe XII or so.

Hey, Tabby! I haven't seen you in a while. Or maybe that's because I haven't been on for a while... Whatever.

*huggles* Ello, guv'nor!
Eh? Karate lessons? We're not taking piano lessons. Piano and singing, yes. Not karate.
Oh! There's this little black outside cat that used to come and visit and wait by the door so we would go outside and pet her. She's soo cute!
Of course, now she's basically made us her staff, so she wakes us up at 3 in the morning because she wants to be petted. and she meows if she doesn't get her way. Or if she wants tuna. Or if she just feels like it.

Dogs have masters. Cats have staff.
And also we've been babysitting our music teacher's baby. He's SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! Plus, since we just watch him while she does music lessons, we don't have to change smelly diapers.

So. How have you been?

Well, this was the first war for the actual forces that are attached to the Teacup, seeing how my Merry Bandito's are relativly young to the Teacup. But they fight for it! So, it was the first war that the Teacup actually had part in. Most of these wars you are talking about happened IN the Teacup, but it didn't have a force of it's own in the combat.

And the elven insurgancy will not happen. I dare say I am a better tactician then that, not to mention strategist. Besides, we aren't occupying Mirkwood. Our forces have pulled out, seeing as we haven't over thrown their government. There was nothing wrong with it save that excess arrogance, but we knocked it out of them! Jammi, I promoted you, and shall accompany you back to the camp so we can oversee the debriefing of our soldiers and our withdrawl of that area.

Careful Hector, you can only rest on laurels that you HAVE, you've not quite gotten them yet.

It's a phrase you nitwit. How's your left buttcheek, by the way? That elven archer put it right in the basket, as the saying goes.
