It's an old tale, one which says that flying too close to the sun will melt your wings but no one ever pays attention. So many kings of the world have hit earth with a thud. Remember the political capital of *. RL has been on a 'I;m The King Of The World" high for a couple of months now. He's declared himself the de facto head of his party and claims our president is afraid of him. This is getting so good it's almost

time. Sooner or later someone is going to prick that balloon body of his and bring him down with such a thud that it will be mistaken for an earthquake. I give him 16 months at most. The only question will be what does it?
