Paul Yanick Jr. is the president of the American Academy of Quantum Medicine (AAQM)...Another website presents Yanick as “an expert in the emerging [i.e. imaginary] field of Quantum Medicine, with over thirty years of extensive clinical experience.” He is also “a board-certified naturopath,” and a “CNC”, which stands for “Certified Nutritional Consultant,” a worthless crackpot certification issued by the American Association of Nutrition Consultants. Indeed, he is also a “C.Q.M.,” which seems to mean “certified in quantum medicine,” and is probably issued by himself.

Londo: Don't worry. Even one as arrogant as this would not take it upon himself to imprison his own prime minister!

The Black Star is where the leaders of the empire meet to do their leaderish things. The amber sphere is where they keep their emperor, carefully preserved and perfect. He wanders its golden halls in genteel despair, doing what he is told and dreading the day his masters decide that his daughter makes a better ornament.
And by the way, isn’t it about time we found out who made this man a captain? Did I sleep through some sort of armed-forces swearing-in ceremony? Captain, my ass, the man is a fucking pilot, and he should be happy with that. If those sight-seeing announcements are any mark of his intelligence, the man’s lucky to be working at all. Having endured enough nonsense from this so-called captain, I finally raise my voice: “Tell the captain, Air Marshal Carlin says he should go fuck himself!”
This is a man who should be the most transformational figure of the century. Hell, he promised to be that. Instead he wields all the power of a substitute teacher at night school.

Barret: Hold up. You telling me that that's the best you can do?
Domino: That is indeed the best that I can do.
Cloud: But you're the mayor.
Domino: "But you're the mayor"?! Does this look like the office of a mayor? I'm a glorified librarian - nothing more! They don't even invite me to their meetings! Sorting records and reports - that's all I do! My hands and fingers have more paper cuts than skin! No one knows my pain - my daily torment! They've made me a pathetic shell of a man.

Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!
