Duchess of Cambridge pregnant

Down with Dynastic rule - people have come to this great nation from all over the world fleeing tyrany and oppression and seeking the right to democratic, meritocratic government. the idea that you might have 'ruling clans' where generations of rich families inhabit the highest offices of the land is just shocking - it would be preposterous to think that one President might be followed by his Son a mere 8 years after he left office, or that that Presidents brother might be a serious candate for yet another Presidency (while being the Govenor of their home state): its the kind of thing you'd see in some banana republic.

or that a former Presidents wife would become a senior figure in another presidents administration (i think she's a pretty good SesState, but you get my point...)

or that 4 generations of a family with a not unblemished personal and political record would hold a succession of Senate, Administration and even Presidential offices in a pattern that could almost be decibed as feudal...


oh, hang on...
