| Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (1754 – 1838) by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon |
JMSmith has a new post up on The Orthosphere that is all about government bullshit. The comments are pretty great as well. I especially like this one from Michael Paterson-Seymour:
One recalls Talleyrand’s maxims: “Nothing is what it seems; everything is connected; there are no coincidences.”
His great opponent, Prince Metternich seems to have been of the same mind. On hearing of Talleyrand’s death, he mused: “I wonder what he meant by that.”
