As Vain Regrets Keeper of the Margaret Mitchell Fading Magnolia Society of Vicious Nostalgia,

I spend a a few moments almost every day wondering how the American Civil War--or World War I--might have been averted. Saving the Romanovs--It was 1905, I think, when Lenin and most other Russians came to the realization that the Czar was not their friend, and that if they came asking for bread he'd shoot them. A would-be apologist for the Romanovs would have to go way back. As they passed from the 19th into the 20th century, they seem to have been born stupid and gone mad.

The Czarina--crazy bitch--was right: Rasputin saved  the Czarevitch, stopped feeding the hemophiliac aspirin...had crazy eyes.
