heavy is the burden of the wise one, when no one believes a word that they could say
I’ve been seriously thinking a lot of countries need an official jester. An appointed official who gets to hang with the president/premier/prime minister and has full absolute security clearance. Not to disclose anything, but to know all of it, and is allowed speak publicly on any public forum or topic. Always require them to be appointed by the opposition.
Agreed. Why should only US have one?
US, 2016: hold my beer
US, 2024, with total memory loss of 2016-2020: hold my beer
What happens when the jester and the president are the same person?
President Pagliacci
If they’re appointed by the opposition then it’d have to be a president with MPD.
I am the Jester, my job’s to entertain And it seems that, soon enough, it too will be my job to reign
“Heavy is the head that wears the cockscomb” just doesnt have the same ring to it
