Leaders of the Crimson Guard:
Fun fact of the day -- did you know that the President and Prime Minister of Poland are identical twin brothers? (They also co-starred, at age 13, in a children's movie called The Two Who Stole the Moon.) Query: If both of them are evil, would it be appropriate for one of them to call the other "my evil twin"?
Here's even more.
Query: why is it that Cobra had a pair of lawyers on retainer, but (to the best of my knowledge), no JAG officers were ever assigned to the GI Joe team? ;)
Certainly. Evil usually recognizes that being perceived by the public as good, or at least the lesser of two evils, is an advantage, and evil, being greedy, wants every advantage.
I humbly disagree with Anonymous Coward 2 at least in part. Evil people usually perceive themselves as good. Aristotle and Plato wrote extensively about this. The classic example is Hitler, who thought that he was making Germany better through conquest and extermination of the "subhumans". Hitler therefore believed that he was good.
But I think that "evil" requires that the twin have some difference of opinion. After all, how can the twin be evil if he/she agrees with you on all matters? Wouldn't you therefore be calling yourself evil (which I posited above is not the norm).
As a result, if Hitler had a twin (as opposed to a child), and the twin had a less blood thirsty opinion, I'd wager that he would call his twin the "evil twin".
I like to closely monitor all sets of hyper-achieving Slavic brothers around the globe.
But not these guys, because they're Scots, not Slavs.
BTW, Slate deserves a gold star for this title: "Marbury vs. Madison Avenue: Can Stephon Marbury's $15 sneaker revolutionize the sports-shoe business?" It's nearly as good as the "John duns SCOTUS" title that I expected from Dahlia Lithwick right up until the day that Ashcroft quit as AG.
