He was obsessed with appearing to be a virile man. He was also a racist. Where did you get that last pic?

As to Roosevelt's racism yes he was in common people of his era but he did make some small moves to advance the opportunities of black Americans within the Federal Government (while sadly neglecting the problems of Native American or Red Indians as he would have called them) .
I think even more chilling to a modern audience would be his support of eugenics.
He was a man slightly ahead of what we would describe as a backwards time.

trouble was, eugenics was regarded as a progressive policy,I think even more chilling to a modern audience would be his support of eugenics.
I have a piglet cuddly!Well, I have an Eeyore cuddly in my bed, I feel quite an affinity with him
And I've always admired John the Baptist's sartorial taste
trouble was, eugenics was regarded as a progressive policy,
there were plenty on the 'left' who favoured it -
until it was put into practice....
but this is heavy stuff for, as Siss says, an absolutely spiffing yarn

Suggest a new thread - the Crucifixion of Piglet and family
The only thing that brightened me up as I climbed, alone, into the two seater and started up the engine was my nice new jacket. What a good job I’d bought that yesterday!
It wasn’t until I was on the Mile End Road that the penny dropped. Of course! That’s why Jeeves had failed to jump to it with one of his wizard schemes! He was still brooding about the jacket!
For a moment I almost turned the car around and told him that I’d burn the jacket, but then the pride of the Wraggs took over. No! I would not demean myself so! This was just a matter of extracting six girls from the dungeon at Cruxton Abbey. Yes, my membership of the Drones was at stake, but what could be simpler?
I was certain that I was equal to the task, and so I drove on. You see, I had an ace card, which was that I know Cruxton Abbey like the back of my hand!
Cruxton Abbey, I am ashamed to say, has been the family seat of the Wragg family since 1538. My ancestor, Thomas Wragge, was thick as thieves with old King Henry the Eighth, who handed him the Abbey the moment he’d booted the monks out. His son, William, in an early demonstration of the talent that the Wraggs have for switching sides as may be strategically necessary, converted to Catholicism upon the accession of Bloody Mary to the throne, but he took the hellfire and damnation thing a bit seriously, so that when Elizabeth I took over he created a chapel and a priest hole in the basement. Crucially - and this is a fact known only to a select few, so do please keep it to yourself – he built an escape tunnel so that the priest could leg it if things got a bit too exciting up above.
When William handed in the mitten John Wragg naturally became a staunch Protestant, and he found that the erstwhile chapel made an excellent dungeon and torture chamber. So it was that a refuge for Catholics became a place of terror for them. In the process Cruxton achieved a reputation for being the most haunted place in England, but at the same time the existence of the tunnel was forgotten.
But I knew where it was. And the best plans are the simple ones. Park up at dead of night, trot along the dear old tunnel to the dungeon, lead the girls to safety, and present them to Pongo who would weep with gratitude and recommend me for lifetime membership of the Drones. Simple. Effective. Copper bottomed.
I smiled as I looked forward to receiving Jeeves’ approbation when he realised that he hadn’t quite cornered the market in decent schemes.
...does it vibrate???Well, I have an Eeyore cuddly in my bed, I feel quite an affinity with him
Hope they don' t all snore, PK. It will get quite noisy. Tempted to ask how Piglet asserts the fact he is the boss. But some things are probably too personal and intimate to share on hereI have a rowing world championships mouse, a lion from Lyon, a rat from IKEA and a GB Olympic lion.... It can get crowded... Esp as the Lyon lion has a football too! But they are small really! And cosy! And piglet (who has a wide variety of knitted hats) is the boss !
