Yeah, I was just going to say - isn't being head of the Intelligence agency one of the main stepping stones for the top job? I mean, just look at Bush and Putin.

Now there's some apples and oranges right there.
One guy used it to pad his resume for a year, the other guy fucking lived it.

Hey, did anyone hear about the reshuffle going on?  Supposedly, Petraeus is headed to the CIA and Panetta to the Pentagon?

I hear they are blocking searches on it in China.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You long for an American Putin, don't you?

And who wouldn't? What can't that man do?

We had one once, though.  He wore feather boas, sucked cock and hated the Kennedys.

I don't know. I read recently that there're rumblings about Medvedev not wanting to step down to let Putin run for President again.

Lincoln.
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.
