Emperor Norton Day in five days!

Probably already posted, but toward the end, there is a picture of Robert Anton Wilson with his co-writer's name, "Robert Shea," in the caption.
Otherwise, nice bit!
All hail Emperor Norton!

Emperor Norton and Jack Churchill are both some of my damn heroes.

There are a few inaccuracies here you might want to correct. It was Joshua Abraham Norton, not Abraham Joshua. It is the Bay Bridge, not the Golden Gate Bridge that he proposed. Bummer and Lazarus weren't his dogs; that's a story that developed years after his death. Norton's life story has become entangled with legends and outright fabrications about him. William Drury does an excellent job of setting the story straight about Norton in his biography, "Norton I, Emperor of the United States."

Funnily enough, this madman, Whom I revere, was a better leader than most we've ever had.

You forgot to mention author Christopher Moore.

This guy should have been the leader for America in Civ V.

As another German, I`d say we had, but in our case they gained real power

@tolitz11 I've read that there's actually a plaque on the bridge that commemorates his proclamation ordering that it be built.

Emperor Norton vid 1.MPGby rspringall189 views
i think there is a rule that the san francisco-oakland bay bridge should be named after Emperor Norton. The City of San Francisco approved it, but the Oakland Admin didn't approved it.
it should be a great honor for Emperor Norton to have a bridge named after him (in fact he envisioned it long time ago before the bridge was materialized)
