    VINDICATION! (I was getting worried there. Nothing more horrible than getting called out for inaccuracies when you're calling someone out.)

    Its less focused on in the books, and even less showed in the movies. They exist in the games and in the published fan fics of the Tolkien universe. So you can take it as they do and do not exist.

    In the following years, he was the common enemy of all Dwarves, and the war he started climaxed in the Battle of Azanulbizar, where he killed Náin, only to be himself slain by Náin's son Dáin.
    His son, Bolg, inherited the rulership in Moria and continued it for another 150 years.
    Azog is also a hero for the Goblins in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II 's expansion pack The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king.

    You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

    You gotta hand it to Hugo Boss, he did a natty line in black and silver uniforms.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    It is just politics as usual. Anything that can made to look bad for an opponent will.

    That said, there are people with minds so small that they do think that dressing in the clothes of the vile make them support the ideas.

    If you have political aspirations be careful what costume you ware for Halloween...
