Necessary Evils
America is such a fickle place. Stupid consumers took out loans they could never hope to afford, with all kinds of complex conditions they didn't bother to read, and then they gripe about the economy. Banks and lenders sell the loans under false pretenses out of pure, unadulterated greed, cry about needing a bailout and then go right back to spending lavishly on their employees. But floating right under the surface of this is something profoundly optimistic: the promise of a new start.
Starting Conquest Early
I recently was asked by one of my noble readers to give some advice for those looking to start their quest of world domination at an earlier age. Since I began my quest when I was just a small samurai myself, I felt a warm spot in my otherwise black heart for the aspiring evil geniuses. Young people sometimes feel like they just aren't listened to, and I want any younger readers out there to know: Shogun understands your pain. When I spoke of taking over the world when I was a teenager, I was laughed at by both my peers and my elders. But now those people scrub the toilets in my corporate offices, so it all worked out in the end. Pay attention, young pups of evil, this article is aimed directly at you.
Blunders: Jerry Yang Insults Microsoft
This is Jerry Yang, one of the founders of Alexa's #1 ranked website on the entire internet, Yahoo. Jerry is a very rich man because of his involvement with this pioneer of the search engine business, and it has obviously gone to his head. In case you haven't been keeping up with technology news lately (if you don't, slap yourself) Mr. Yang recently got fired. It wasn't because he was caught sleeping with an intern, or trying to marry a 12 year old boy in Thailand, it was because his nerd-turned-billionaire ego completely and utterly ruined his company's chances of really taking a shot at their main competitor, Google.
World Domination, Chapter 1: Getting Rich
This website is dedicated to the idea of taking over the world. If this makes you uncomfortable, stop reading now. Go back to your meaningless job and your safe, predictable life. For those of you who are intent on living grand, book-worthy lives with what time they have, I'm glad you have found your way here.
The first step in any successful takeover is having money. As I mentioned in my "Principles" page (which you should read if you have not), money and connections are the most powerful things a person could have in this world. For those of you saying "duh" to your screens, slap yourself. In order to take over the world, this needs to be firmly planted in your head, so I will remind you constantly.
