There's evidence that the pharaohs engaged in a bit of spin to make themselves look good.  In fact, one of them had a somewhat fictional outcome of a battle carved onto a tall wall, for all the world to see.  It's not so different, now, is it?  As long as pharaoh doesn't start to believe his own b.s., it's all part of the game.  Please e-mail me at:  pjones41@kc.rr.com, and come join me on facebook, too.  Farmville, anyone?
