In
an effort to counter deceitful campaigns by enemies of the state in
the chronicling of recent events, I hereby proffer my services and
seek official sanction to take on the duties of Court Revisionist
Historian.
As a testament to my fitness for this office, I present for public
viewing these recent acquisitions from my
private collection, illustrations depicting instruments for executing
the foreign and domestic policies of our Great Nation and for combating
evildoers. These paintings, ostensibly commissioned by the ancestors
of our Founding Fathers, evince the distinguished pedigree of contemporary
methods for resolving rivalries and conflicts and will, with additional
labor on my part, demonstrate a precedent that will surely silence
critics, defamers, non-believers and other promoters of terror.
