My new alternative history theory is that if the Italian Partisans didn't execute and parade around Mussolini, then the US government would have given him a job. In this grim future the "Fash Squad" in congress would be headed be Alessandra Mussolini instead of the horrizontalist leaderless faction that exists now as a tenuous confederation of Bobert, Mace and Greene.

I thank the CLN every day for taking responsibility for for their own country's messes.
