I always had a soft spot for kleptocracy. It's so refreshingly honest.

i'm guessing it's based on whoever has the kingly trinket in their pocket at the moment

Why should we treat people as equals when we can oppress them and get better shit? It has worked for millennia!

This is a fair point. The early modern ascendency of Europe was in no small part due to them oppressing cultures on five continents at once.

Apparently it means "You have a crook for a leader, and he's not beneath using his power and normally illegal methods to gain more power".
Though I'd love it to work the way you said. Was certainly my first guess.

When the President does it, it's not illegal.

The theory that renders the Sun a gas sphere with a nuclear fusion furnace inside is a dead horse. While efforts have been made to douse the dead horse with fresh theories to make the obsolete seem plausible again, the physical evidence is too far advanced so that the dead horse will not rise again.

Yeah, what a dead horse! That's a metaphor I understood! You know, like beating a dead horse. And now we're dousing it, because that's kind of like the whole "lead a horse to water" thing.

Finally, it seems this dead horse (still a metaphor) may rise again. People of Bay12, we may (or may not, who knows) be in a zombie horse scenario.

Jesus. And this is the first paragraph on the page. It's like Brass Eye.
