TOF notices that somewhere along the line he has acquired 103 "followers" who no doubt hang on his very words and await TOFian commands to go forth and smite, or something.

It's the definitive handbook for all demagogues, tyrants, and swaggering tinhorn dictators with delusions of godhood.

ReplyDeleteNonsense! I'm sure he'll be swamped with new followers.
