P.S. - I just learned a few days ago where the phrase "blue blood" comes from. It came from inbred royal families who wanted to keep their royal bloodline "pure." A condition of this inbreeding was the blood turning blue from hemophilia, IIRC. I think that's a great analogy of what's going on these days with the Washington elite.

I didn't know that hemophiliacs blood turned blue.....when exposed to the air? Wow. Interesting how the meaning of that term has changed over the centuries.
