I have studied and written quite a bit on Julius Caesar in the past, so it is fitting that my inaugural post here involves the "noblest man that ever lived in the tide of times." In an interview following his recent reelection defeat, outgoing RNC chairman Michael Steele depicts his battle with Reince Priebus as some sort of Shakespearian tragedy. "I know exactly how Caesar felt," says Steele. He goes on further in the interview to continue taking credit for the Republican victories in November while ignoring the debt that the RNC had acquired under his guidance. Taking into account that Caesar was both respected by those who killed him and successful in his endeavors prior to his fall, I should like to say that "I studied Julius Caesar. I knew Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was a college obsession of mine. Mr. Chairman, you're no Julius Caesar." Good luck to Brutus in cleaning up his predecessor's mess.
