You know when you read a horror story, as a most miserable and wretched creature is nearing his end, finally coming face to face with his crimes, and in his desperation reaches out to destroy whatever is within his grasp?
Gollum, biting a finger off as he falls in to the abyss, a balrog's last tentacle pulling a wizard down.
A mad, make-up caked and bewigged caricature of a man; urging his hate blinded minions to take over a nation's Capitol. Some stories of fiction, told to scare children or entertain adults. Some, you only wish they were.
Sometimes they succeed, oft times they do not. Still, I read this, and I am reminded of such tales.
Is this a final act of a good man being dragged down by the pettiness of another, lesser person?
One wonders.
Still, no doubt that Spotsy continues to exist under an ancient Chinese curse.
The one where they hope that you live in interesting times.

Interesting indeed, Spotsy. Interesting indeed.
