But how can you be sure? I mean, maybe it's just sour grapes because your preferred candidate didn't win. There must be some objective test you can use to tell if your current leader is a crappy, crappy ruler.
Thanks to Celtic warrior and king Slaine, we have exactly the test we need!!

ReplyDeleteAlthough, let's be fair - 'fighting wars of conquest' - pretty much every president since Truman; 'poisoning the land' - pretty much you and me and every other person benefiting from an industrialised society, and I would argue, not exactly a presidential remit. 'Favouring the nobles and oppressing the poor' are systemic issues that would be there regardless of the occupant of the Oval Office.

It shouldf be noted that the author, Pat Mills, is a British writer writing in a British comic book. So it may well be other leaders than Americans he's targeting.
