text: Wow!  Somebody with an empire.  This makes you an emperor.  We haven't had an emperor in his own mind since PET (which stood for Prince, Emperor and Tsar).
  
  We are honoured, honoured I tells ya, to be graced by your presence and by you taking time from your very hectic schedule selling pencils on the corner of Yonge and Dundas in front of the Eaton Centre.
  
  And we understand how you would rather write tiny and reviled posts here than to write actual full length columns in the Globe for money.
  
  Do tell us more about your empire.
  
  Is it larger than a 5 by 8 foot cell in a place where you get to wear special jackets that lock in the back?
  
  BTW: Notwithstanding your usual bogus tripe about Spicer's lack of experience, he has been in the political communications field for years and has known and been on good terms with many of the senior journalists who cover The White House beat.  He smiles, jokes and is quick and likable.  Off to a bad start, I expect he will recover admirably.
