Ghenghis Khan

(From a Fake Fan Mail reader…)

Dear Khan,

I wish to express my gratitude, GK, in my name and in the name of the peripheral damage casualties who cannot do so themselves. For I know that in your genocidal depredations you undoubtedly did away with quite a few abusive husbands, child-molesters, bad writers, mimes and future Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, Ancestors of Network Executives, and we still await for one of ours truly who truly will rise to those heights, so far having produced only a rag-tag of minor thugs in comparison, ( but lets not ask those who were ere before us Euroasianafricans ) but wait, give us time, we shall produce One that will be That Bad through Overt, Concerted Action and not just the committee-guided but silent omission we all participate in and therefore water-down … but I digress. So, Ghenghis, here’s to you, a toast, Great Khan, pre-emptive netoyeur, genetic-pool de-fragmenter: Cheers and Bottoms-Up!
