Sounds like a CK2 game writ large. Silly Saudis, don't they know how to control dynastic decadence?

What is dynastic decadence? Like what happened to the Habsburgs?

And here, I was thinking 'now we wait for the many grandsons and sons to duke it out for the throne' when I heard he died.

Such is the problem of long lived monarchs. Although I think the British have got it handled, I don't see them squabbling for the throne when Queen Elizabeth dies or when Charles (the second in line) dies.

This REALLY should go into the Europolitics thread though because monarchy has no place here in this thread.

Why should the Saudi go in the Europol? Anyway, the Brits don't car as much, because there ain't as much at stake.

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

Republican inheritance doesn't work that way, noobs.  We'd just get an american muslim running Saudi Arabia while a different America ran the US.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Indeed. Now we just need Bachman to be her running mate and have them run under the rhetoric that they're paragons of real feminism, then we'll have the perfect shitstorm.

intelligence
This was your first mistake.

Actually, though, I'm reasonably confident that she's fairly intelligent and simply has no intention of winning. Those book deals and talk show appearances aren't going to motivate themselves, you know.
