First rule of politics, kiddo: never let the truth get in the way of a good story.[to Jimmy]

[about the murder of a political opponent]And did you… order his death?[Gaius Octavian]I did not know he existed until he didn’t.[Gaius Julius Caesar]
“Homeland.” “Fatherland.” When politicians use these words, it usually precedes murder on a grand scale.
