This is not a hit diary, but your candidate is the worst human on Earth.

Your candidate is Bush-Cheney-lite, and very naive.  Republicans want your candidate to become the nominee. Hitler probably would, too.

Your candidate means fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together - just mass hysteria.

By the year 130 CE, the Roman Empire was a mighty superpower on a scale never seen in ancient history.  Latin rule stretched from the hills of Scotland to the Nile Valley, from the Iberian Peninsula to the plains of northern Mesopotamia.

Inside the boundaries of Imperium Romanum, many colonies were founded and built.  Most were created as either military outposts or as payment for retired legionnaires.  However, all were used for strengthening Rome's grasp on its territories.

But one colony in particular was founded, and gave the Romans a very serious and bloody mess.

The colony was called Aelia Capitolina.

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) -- A court has convicted a man of trying to assassinate U.S. President George W. Bush and the leader of Georgia by throwing a grenade at them during a rally in May 2005, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

Vladimir Arutyunian also was convicted of killing a policeman in the course of an operation to arrest him several weeks after the May 10 incident at a rally that drew tens of thousands of people to the capital of this former Soviet republic.

The grenade that Arutyunian threw during the rally attended by Bush and President Mikhail Saakashvili landed about 100 feet from the stage where they were standing behind a bulletproof barrier and did not explode. No one was hurt.[...]

(AP) Baltimore, MD Some black elected officials and activists say they are troubled by the swift support that prominent Democrats gave to U.S. Rep. Benjamin Cardin's candidacy for the U.S. Senate, and their feelings may breathe new life into the campaign of Kweisi Mfume, the only black candidate in the Democratic primary.[...]

Four of Baltimore's six state senators and Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson have all recently endorsed Mfume, and they tell The Post there is a perception that white Democratic leaders are conspiring to deliver the nomination to Cardin.[...]

November 24, 1859 saw the first publishing of Charles Darwin's work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (better known as The Origin of Species) to the masses in London.  Darwin's fairly easy to read work introduced the theory of natural selection, which would in time revolutionize the scientific world.

All throughout history, leaders have risen and made themselves either universally respected or universally reviled.  A bad leader can lead a people or a nation to its destruction.  A good leader can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

And a great leader can do that so decisively and so unexpectedly that victory is total.

So I ask that you follow me for a trip far back in time as I bring you to Italy, circa 2200 years ago ...

Actually, I don't even know if it a pamphlet.  It's more like a piece of cardboard folded into three sections.

I mean, it's nice that they want me and all.  The only problem is their little pamphlet/fuel starter for my grill is full of lies.  Really.

Follow me below the fold and let's read it together...
