Default (don't jump in on because it's political) Jim Bunning (on BB HOF'ers vs. politicians)

Wow. I didn't expect a Rosetta Stone reference.

"Then they would erect a statue to me, like the people of PTOLEMY V rule (circa 196 B.C.).
If you read the translation of the Rosetta Stone, you will find out that the people adored
their ruler, King PTOLEMY V, because he reduced their TAXES and built up their MILITARY
(which protected them from invaders)."

I'm no expert on ancient history, but my guess is that "the people" didn't write that stuff. I'm thinking he or his inner circle might have had a thing to do with it.

I'm just sayin'....
