Another Obamagasm: Maybe President Obama will win the Nobel Prize for Literature, too, now that the chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts has declared that “Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.” Rocco Landesman rendered unto Obama that considerable compliment in a little-noticed speech to a group of art philanthropists in Brooklyn, [...]

... on us after all. Plus things like foreign ministers and such. Rome used to elect its rulers till Julius Caesar. I guess we need to learn to say "Ave Caesar" or maybe "Hail Blair" or whoever... I am mad about that. Real spitting mad! Just goes to show you really can't trust politicians I guess.

This got me thinking about Pompey — and to start the following thread of posts about Pompey, Caesar, [...]

First of all - and I know this is ticky-tacky but the left's ubiquotous pseudo-sophisticated name checking gets obnoxious - Julius Caesar was not a particularly great writer. Even if that wasn't true, Marcus Aurelius was in every way a better scribe and at least equally as powerful. And as a purely historical matter, though it's distasteful to admit, Lenin and Mao also need to be included...

This followed the example of Julius Caesar's adoption of Octavian as his heir, and Octavian's subsequent taking on the title of princeps as Augustus Caesar. In practice, however, at least three other factors often intervened: first, emperors tended to favor their natural sons over their adopted ones; second,...
