Happy Birthday, Guys
Sheila O'Malley remembers Sylvia Plath's birthday. She shares a birthday with the Rough Rider himself, The Big Stick, Teddy Roosevelt. Some T.R. Trivia: Roosevelt's son, Kermit, led the clandestine effort of the U.S. intelligence community to overturn Iran's government in 1953 and install the Shah to the Peacock throne.

And the overthrow of the democratically-elected Iranian government in 1953 has haunted us ever since. The Shah was a brutal dictator whose brutality led to the rise of the Ayatollah in 1979. The rest is history. Posted by: Jon at October 27, 2005 11:06 AMPost a comment
