HD and then get both TM and SD to use it. Is there a way to set it up?
Any particular reason this is a bad idea?

Nope. I do image backups on my systems roughly every 2-3 months, with
file by file backups filling in between. The trick is to remember to
purge the file by file backups after every image backup or you'll end
up with a huge mess of old and new data to untangle.

Better to ask this in one of the comp.sys.mac groups.
It can be done, but it's not a great idea. SuperDuper clones volumes, so
you'll either have to partition the backup drive or have SD write to a
sparse bundle (or image) file on it. Partitioning will waste some space
but will give you a backup volume that's bootable. Having SD write to a
file will save space, but TM will eventually be contending with SD for
room, and you'll have to go into Time Machine to delete old backups
manually. Probably not as "simple" as you want.
In either case, you'll end up with two copies of every current file: one
in the SD clone and the other in the Time Machine backup. If that's
actually what you want, it would make more sense to keep those
additional backup copies on a physically distinct drive. When modern
hard drives fail, it's usually sudden and total: everything on all
partitions is lost.

Hmm, Prince Jeff, nah.
I think we should put him in the position of King.
Yes, Let it be done!
Mike :-)

No thanks. No sane person wants to be king, emperor, president,
fearless leader, czar, khan, or other head of state. It's way too
much work, tends to cause accelerated ageing, and makes too obvious a
target. It also requires perfection where I can do all the right
things for years, then make one mistake, and I'm history. No thanks.
I'll settle for one of the US cabinet positions, where I can enrich my
friends and mangle my income taxes.

I am holding out for an Ambassadorship.. preferably somewhere in the
Caribbean.

Searching Google for "assassinate ambassador" I find 1,430 hits, which
is a bit too much for my personal comfort. At this time, I don't
think we have any friends left in any country, so any country will
probably suffice.

But none when you add Bahamas, St. Kitts, Turks and Caicos, Aruba or
either Saint-Martin or Sint Maarten. So, if offered I am gonna take it.

You ARE related though, right?

No, I don't think we're related. However, as you note, there are
simularities. The only point of contact I can recall was my use of
the Emperor Norton Utilities:
<http://singlenesia.com/software/enu>
<http://www.discordia.ch/Programs/>
for posting mutilated rubbish and marginal English to Usenet. This
was the primary source of my writing style and topical inspiration.
I'm fairly certain there will eventually be a revival of the Emperor
Norton style of government. Democracy, republicanism and capitalism
have all run their course and are failing like all the previous
attempts at equality, fairness, stability, and conquest. The only
form that has survived is monarchy which I predict will eventually
make a come back. Given the current quality of government, Emperor
Norton would probably be an improvement.

Know your ISO-3166 country codes? Constitutional monarchies:
BE DK JP LI MA NL SE TO
BH ES KH LS MC NO SZ UK
BT JO KW LU MY NP TH WS
``monarchies'':
BN OM QA SA
plus two more that are harder to classify (AE which is a federation
of emirates, and VA). I'm ignoring (mainly) former European colonies
that have the European monarch as symbolic head of state, but actually
are republics or federations. And the model you wish is... ;-)

But do we really _need_ a railroad bridge out to the Farallones?[1] Or
is that merely a federal... an imperial "make-work" project?
Old guy
[1] Imperial decree of 18 August 1869 - which ordered the bridge to be
built "at Oakland Point to Yerba Buena, from thence to the mountain
range of Saucilleto (sic), and from thence to the Farallones..." The
decree is often cited as the genesis of the current Oakland Bay and
Golden Gate bridges - the Farallon Islands are small islands about 30
miles / 50 km West of the Golden Gate.

No.

Close enough. Hybrids are becoming more popular. Whatever the
sub-type, monarchy is here to stay and shows no evidence of further
decline.

My favorite model is absolute dictator. Of course, there are a
limited number of such positions available. It would also be nice if
I could run things without violence or elections, but those can be
easily deal with through media suppression and single candidate
elections.

Ummm... You're behind the times. "Make work" was the mantra of the
WPA and the 1929 Depression era public works projects. This is the
21st century and it's now called "job creation" as in the economic
stimulus package. Both are famous for creating highways in the sky,
so expect similar results.

Actually, I was originally thinking of using a WPA or CCC reference,
but figured neither would translate for younger or foreign readers.

Ah, but this was a _railroad_ in the sky. Come to think of it, I
don't believe the "Pulaski Skyway" (US highways 1 and 9 from just West
of the Holland Tunnel to Newark airport, built across the Hackensak
marsh), "Sunshine Skyway" (I 275 across the mouth of Tampa bay in
Florida), "Highway to the Stars" (San Diego county route S2 that runs
up to the Mount Palomar observatory) or "Overseas Highway" (US highway
1 in the Florida keys) were WPA projects. They were just _ordinary_
pork-barrel projects.
