Hat Tip to John Bolch at Family Lore – Host of Blawg Review #216 on 15th June (tomorrow) for alerting me to this…
QI: Fact of the Day
The official title of Francois ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier, dictator of Haiti (1957-71) was “President for Life, Maximum Chief of the Revolution, Apostle of National Unity, Benefactor of the Poor, Patron of Commerce and Industry and Electrifier of Souls”
Lord Mandelson… you need to up you game on the titles, mate… an ‘electrifier of souls’ ?
Electrifier of bodies more like, after special rendition.
maximum chief of the revolution sounds rather good to me.
even a ‘reasonably large when compared to other smaller and frankly not entirely up to it revolutionaries’ would do me for a title.
Electrifying of souls sounds like a precursor to making blood pudding. Maybe Mandelson is imbiber of entrails….
