Last evening

an idiot, a misogynist, a crook, a free marketeer, a zealot, a bigot, a plutocrat, a machiavellian, and a "neo con" war-mongerer, all of them fascists, entered a bar.

The bartender took one look at them and calmly turned off the TV.

So, I recently started reading "The Prince"

...but it seemed too Machiavellian.
