I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The Minsky Moment

I heard a rumor the Germans tried it. Seemed promising at the start but apparently it ends up being a real mess.

Some Corsican dude did too; didn't end up so well for him either.

Also haven't tried it. I'll be waiting on a sale, though I'm cautiously optimistic.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Btw, for a more manageable take on Barbarossa, which focuses on strategic decisions, Cauldrons of War takes a bit of getting used to (esp. combat and managing resources), but it's an interesting project:
