   Or maybe “Genius”, since he thinks he is one.

    Got no problem with Radiance, but Rosebud seems a bit unseemly. I know that it is the sled in Citizens Kane (sorry if you haven’t seen it!). But apparently the inspiration for that element of the movie was a nickname William Randolph Hearst had for…uh…well…you look it up.

    According to my computer’s dictionary widget description Renegade means:

    Noun: TRAITOR, defector, deserter, turncoat, rebel, mutineer.
