Machiavelli. :-) Because M's sinister methods still work and are practiced daily by politicians and other decision makers.
Indeed. This is why back in the most recent Reign of Terror known as the Bush (haha) "administration", BushCo and the Rethuglicans were sometimes referred to (and accurately) by some people as the "Mayberry Machiavellians". (look up info on the USA TV show 'Mayberry,RFD' for those who do not get the reference) It was certainly a fitting term for those a-holes and it still applies to the current crop of Repiglicans, the same self-serving dick heads that just want to continue to take more from the poor and give even more to the rich. Ain't life just grand in the (haha) "Land of the Free"? Uh-huh. Riiiight. Happy Holidaze!
