About my online sobriquet...

For those who don't know, 'sobriquet' = A commonly used nickname. Or, in this case, a pen name or screen name.

I thought of using the name 'Lord Publius' for 2 reasons...

1.) The 'Lord' part is a reference to the SITH from Star Wars. I do like a title that sounds menacing at times. ;)

2.) 'Publius' comes from the beginnings of our beloved Republic. It was a sobriquet used by several authors who all contributed writings to what we now call the Federalist Papers, done in honor of Roman consul Publius Valerius Publicola. Since I'll be discussing social issues now and then, it seemed quite appropriate. 


- Lord Publius
