Dynamics of Dynasties

Caroline Kennedy wants to be -- and has a good chance of getting -- appointed to the U.S. Senate seat that Hillary Clinton will vacate to serve as secretary of state in the Obama administration.

What, you might ask, are Caroline's qualifications for the office?

She has none, zip, zero, nada . . . other than, of course, her last name and the sense of entitlement that goes with it.

Makes one wonder why the founders bothered to break away from the British dynastic system in 1776.
