…the birthday of one of the most idiosyncratic history makers of the 20th century. I’ve read several books about this guy. I mean, could you imagine if Malia had some unusual disease, and some crazy charlatan was the only person who could cure her, so Obama started having this strange guy stay at the White House, and while he was there he started sleeping with the wives of all of the higher-ups in government, so they had him killed? And then, well, if you don’t know about his death, do yourself a favor and read about it. Die Hard, folks. Oh, and he had a huge penis. Happy 140th birthday Grigorii!
