Ahem. "Little person"

Though James Madison appears to have been a midget.

He was taller than me, and I'm not a midget.

Technically. I believe that I am four inches too tall to be a "little person", thankyouverymuch.

Intellectual giant though.

This isn't the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Brad.

Though James Madison appears to have been a midget.

Not only that but he was very skinny and had a lisp.  He weighed about 100 pounds soaking wet.  The late 18th/early 19th century was the only time that guy was getting elected.

Which says a lot about today's mentality. The man was brilliant.

Deists can't get elected these days.

Frederick II's always seemed very out of his time.

Hohenstaufen or Hohenzollern?

RIght?  Could be either or both.

Nah. Frederick the Great's amazing, but he's the perfect 18th Century ruler. Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II was extraordinary, especially for his time.

Fucked up, yo.

I'm fairly certain Silvio Berlusconi is either a time traveler or he sold his soul to the devil.  He's inexplicably achieved power, status, money, women and, by the (admittedly low) standards of Italian leaders, respect.  Time travel would explain his career about as well as anything else.
