    I only gave them credit for a small percentage of gray matter...just enough to coat the inside of their skulls...or if you like...we can call them "Hollow Heads"...interesting to note that this is a real condition and in terms of just day to day functions, you would hardly notice.

    They have been weighted, measured and found wanting...they are no longer wanted. They are the great unwashed.
    Just as "Live" and "Evil" are exact opposites spelled forward or backwards...so too have we been taught history in this same fashion.

    you are making a gross assumption when you say "is this what is eating away at the rulers brains".
    the assumption being that they have one in the first place, I think not! the bacteria are dying from lack of food!

    Boy did you nail it. Rulers? That is what they THINK they are. And we really have to start being the bosses.

    After working in DC for 8 years and watching the sausage being made I always suspected that there was something in the water that made people stupid. Looks like I was right.

    Alky is slang for alcoholic.Alkatraz works but it's long closed down. Sing Sing is State Prison. I like NYC in the basement of a sky scraper sewing blankets and such for USAID to deliver.

    At this point it's down to clean up the toxin in their heads and hope for the best or just start all over again...I vote for the latter.

    Maybe that "Power and greed corruption" is a symptom of lead poisoning??? Laughing...

    I considered listing the article under humor but it really isn't a laughing matter.

    I've witnessed lead poisoning in ancient Rome being discussed on the History Channel.
    Ancient Romans could not buy bottled water of which we have so many varieties.
    Me dino prefers bottled water and avoids drinking city water ever since I saw the sliver of a green leaf come out of the faucet about two decades ago.
    So with that in mind, I'd speculate that bad behavior in D.C. is more about power and greed corruption poisoning wherever ethics is found in the brain.
