Shakespeare knew Bush-Cheney and Rumsfeld.I mean, personally.
In Macbeth, he has Lady Macbeth say:

What need we fear who knows it
When no one can call our power to account?

That, in a nutshell, is the way this gang of thugs operates.

Maybe we should disguise ourselves as trees and sneak up on them and yell boo, and they'll wet their widdle panties.

2. He also has MacBeth say to her,
"Be innocent of that knowledge."

Which is their No. 2.: You don't need to know what you know.

5. Shakespeare knew everybody personally...
That's why his plays are still being performed.

6. Here's something from Thomas Jefferson
A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles - T. Jefferson
