Prophecy
 
I found this interesting....;)

"A 93-Year-Old Prophecy
Comes To Pass


H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a
journalist, satirist, critic and
a Democrat. He wrote this
editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening
Sun, which appeared
in the July 26, 1920 edition
"As democracy is perfected, the office of
the President represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the
people. On some great and glorious day,
the plain folks of the land
will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be
occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."




--H.L. Mencken,
The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26,
1920

You're 14 years late. Mencken's prophecy was fulfilled in November 2000.

One score and fourteen years ago the populace brought upon this land a failed actor to lead us into ignominy and disgrace. ;)

He was most likely thinking of the current president...Coolidge...and you have to remember the America in which he was writing this at the time.
