hey, i have a topic finally

since we are going until WWI if i read that correctly, i want to write about the scandal surrounding Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and his atrophied arm.

if needed, i could do other random pollitical chatter like that

ok jeff that sounds good, but for later -- we are basing all of our current topics on the time period of the Renaissance...sorry! But when we get there, you can definately write about that...maybe for this article you can write a shorter piece, since you've had less time to research. I dunno. I'll talk to you about it in person.

ok, so what are the four period we're doing? is the sun king(s) included anywhere in there? b/c if it is, we could do the sex scandal of Athenais de Montespan and Louis XIV. i came across her in my research of versailles- she's married to a marquis who gets mad and starts talking about David and Bathsheba whenever the king was around.
plus she supposedly turned to magic. and i think there are a couple bastard children in there somewhere too. so what's not to like?
