    Sounds like you need a flagon on beer after watching Bush’s speech.
    He would make an excellent fiction writer.

    Upstart popinjay, bring me my flagon of ale!

    Actually, popinjay is actually from the 16th century. Then again, flagon is (in that form) 15th century, so neither is technically medieval. But you knew that already, didn’t you?

    OK – “Renaissance” Word of the Day then. But that doesn’t sound as good.

    “Serving wench! Another flagon of mead!”

    which leads to the inevitable…
