"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  We move toward a lofty ideal.  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 adorned by a downright moron."

--H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
