Why refer to the President of The United States of America as a "bastard"?

Because his parents aren't married

Pray for All Men: "2 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, [which includes The President of These United States] that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior," 1 Timothy 2:1-3 (New King James Version)

Have you taken the continued inflation of the value of the US Currency into account?
Also, what is your operative definition of "just"?

Indeed I did, as I also did with the diminished popularity of Britney Spears.

About the same as "the continued inflation of the value of the US Currency."

Because some people think it's a short cut to being witty without any effort or natural ability, it's a cover used by lackwits

Limiting what costs specifically? The cost of holding elections is negligible.

Far from being efficient, autocratic governments tend to be inefficient due to the fact that government officials are not held accountable except by their superiors. This leads to a bloated, corrupt bureaucracy. And even if the autocrat in question is well-intended, actually implementing decisions is a different matter altogether from making them.

"The cost of holding elections is negligible."

Thanks for a good laugh.
