The One Ring gives to its wearer power equal to his stature. The Invisibility was just a nifty side-effect for those who didn't know the Ring's true power. Someone like Gandalf, Aragorn, or Saruman could have worn the ring without going invisible since they could likely command it. Of course, in time the Ring would corrupt that person and twist his actions and mind to evil. Only Sauron would have complete and utter dominion over the ring, seeing as how he made it and into it he poured the lions share of his power. For all intents and purpouses, Sauron and the Ring are of one mind and purpouse.

I'll be darned if you didn't just give me an idea for my upcoming d20 Modern game! It beats the heck out of my "Dick Cheney is Summoning Shoggoths at Camp David" idea...

Dick Cheney can't be a wizard summoning baddies at Camp David -- he's RoboCheney!

Half the country's energy budget goes to powering the vice-president.

Um ...

I thought the evil script was only visible if the ring was heated up, just what was Bush doing before that pic was taken?

Vigerous friction????

Well, given the gesture of his ring-hand, he's apparently just given the Enterprise helmsman the order to "engage."
