Tied up in downtown meetings for the rest of the day, so we’ll leave you with the classic Ruby Andrews track above. Back here soon, provided that Microkhan Jr. lets us get a decent night’s sleep. Suffice to say we’re operating at quarter-strength today, due to his 3 a.m. shenanigans. We do wonder how Genghis dealt with rebellious children. Hugs were probably not his preferred method.

Maybe that was the real reason for Mongol expansion: his kids all wanted to get the hell out of Dodge.

“Jochi died in 1226, during his father’s lifetime. Some scholars, notably Ratchnevsky, have commented on the possibility that Jochi was secretly poisoned by an order from Genghis Khan.”

Wow. There’s tough love, and then there’s Genghis love. The former sounds far preferable.
