"One of the few things that Kaiser Wilhelm II, who ruled Germany from
1888 to 1918, had a talent for was causing outrage. A particular
specialty was insulting other monarchs."

History.  Via Lev Lafayette, who wrote: "This is a hilarious and
insightful read.  Plus, a little bit of the idea that history repeats."
