History Is A Wonderful Thing

I am sure that this won’t be the last time I use that title for a post.

I do find that history is a wonderful thing.  It is a lot like statistics, in that depending on who you portray and interpret events you can pretty much “spin” a message that can support your position / argument.  At least on the surface.  Since most of the people in the world really don’t look much below the surface of things anymore it creates an interesting world.

Here is one of the latest things that someone has crafted.  I find it very interesting, at least on the surface.

Who Am I?

I am under 45 years old,
I love the outdoors,
I hunt,
I am a Republican reformer,
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor’s office.

Did you guess?

I am Teddy Roosevelt in 1900.
