How quaint! Taking responsibility.

This Makes No Sense To Me. At All.

Prime Minister of Latvia takes political responsibility of the collapse of a supermarket roof, resigns.

How quaint. Taking such serious responsibility for that which happens under one's watch even if it was utterly beyond one's control.

No, not exactly reasonable, but reminds me of traditional Japanese in its nobility of responsibility - something about honor.

Economy? Jobs? IRS? Fast & Furious? Benghazi? Iran?
