Otto von Habsburg is dead.

Over the years, I moved from "fuck the Habsburgs and their fuckin' kin" to "well, they couldn't  possibly be worse than what we have now"

But Otto's son looks like a retard, so for me the house of Habsburg died out with this old guy.

He was 98.

He relinquished his claims in 1961, but kept going around Europe like he still mattered.

Sounds like most actors.

Who is this Otto von Habsburg? Do you mean citizen Otto Habsburg-Lothringen?

Retarded Hapsburgs are nothing new, that's what ended the line in Spain.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

:pope:
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.

Wiki has him under both.

Imho, that is an achivement in itself having such a name and remembering it.

I only have one name.
Does that means I am inferior?

There are many reasons you are inferior, but having only one name is not one of them. :hug:
