True. (none / 1)
GWB is an excellent example of someone whose "ancestors" did the required work and had some skills.

Looking for a 'mental Habsburg lip' feels very postmodern.

Re: True. (none / 0)
Don't get me started on the Habsburg lip.

Had the Spanish Habsburgs not been so damn inbred we might not have all these problems with the various nationalities within Spain. But that's another story, to be told in its own diary.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
