You think Machiavelli - Machiavelli! - wrote "The Prince" to help Princes? Shit no. He wrote it to protect the bureaucracy of civil servants that were serving the people. And it worked. He played that Prince, bigtime. I mean honestly how can you not realize MACHIAVELLI was working an angle

Back from Boskone (a 25 minute drive away, but it's snowy) and completely wiped out. It was fun and my schedule wasn't tough and I saw people I love, but the nerves are jangled (and tired from shoveling snow) Maybe tonight I finally watch Heat, which is nice and long and has heat right in its name.
