Paul Barras was one of the people who initially supported the French Revolution, but then he, siding with the men who sought to overthrow Maximilien Robespierre's faction, ruled France after the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror as one of its five Directors.  Napoleon Bonaparte's wife was Paul Barras' mistress.  The Directory started to fall when Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès with the help of Paul Barras successfully rid himself of the other then-sitting directors. The Directory officially ended when Napoleon overthrew it after he was elected First Consul and Napoleon replaced it with the Consulate.

You need a custom title, Joe Hill.

 

Do you have one in mind?

[SovaNu]

how are your kids Jack and Jill?

[Fritz the Cat]

I don't think that someone should choose your own custom title, you get all ego about it. Besides, I don't know the way you guys see me so the ball is yours Callaway!

And no.

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.
"In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him,
him standing by my bed,
"They framed you on a murder charge,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"
Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."
"The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
they shot you Joe" says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
And standing there as big as life
and smiling with his eyes.
Says Joe "What they can never kill
went on to organize,
went on to organize"
From San Diego up to Maine,
in every mine and mill,
where working-men defend their rights,
it's there you find Joe Hill,
it's there you find Joe Hill!
I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.

    Long-haired preachers come out every night,
    Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
    But when asked how 'bout something to eat
    They will answer in voices so sweet

    You will eat, bye and bye,
    In that glorious land above the sky;
    Work and pray, live on hay,
    You'll get pie in the sky when you die

    And the Starvation Army they play,
    And they sing and they clap and they pray,
    Till they get all your coin on the drum,
    Then they tell you when you're on the bum

    Holy Rollers and Jumpers come out
    And they holler, they jump and they shout
    Give your money to Jesus, they say,
    He will cure all diseases today

    If you fight hard for children and wife-
    Try to get something good in this life-
    You're a sinner and bad man, they tell,
    When you die you will sure go to hell.

    Workingmen of all countries, unite
    Side by side we for freedom will fight
    When the world and its wealth we have gained
    To the grafters we'll sing this refrain

    You will eat, bye and bye,
    When you've learned how to cook and how to fry;
    Chop some wood, 'twill do you good
    Then you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye

    You will eat [You will eat] bye and bye [bye and bye]
    In that glorious land above the sky [Way up high]
    Work and pray [Work and pray] live on hay [live on hay]
    You'll get pie in the sky when you die [That's a lie!]

    You will eat [You will eat] bye and bye [bye and bye]
    When you've learned how to cook and how to fry [How to fry]
    Chop some wood [Chop some wood], 'twill do you good [do you good]
    Then you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye [That's no lie]
