Felix Baumgartner dazzled the world with his jump from 23 miles in space. He has appeared on all the morning talk shows and is heralded by the as a true hero. Unfortunately, the more he opens his mouth, the more there is to dislike.
Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian parachutist who broke the sound barrier by jumping to earth from the stratosphere said in an interview published Sunday he backed the idea of a dictatorship, though a moderate one.
Actually, what Baumgartner has in mind sounds quite a bit like a Romney presidency:
He told Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung that such a dictatorship should be "led by experienced personalities coming from the private (sector of the) economy" to solve present social and economic problems.
So what is this tendency of Austrians to long for a "Fuehrer"?
