Teddy Roosevelt
TEDDY ROOSEVELT
Rank: Tom Olav Rokne
Nominated by Olav Rokne
June 2009 Champion

Adventurer, intellectual, author, soldier, cowboy, policeman, historian, America’s youngest president was all of these and more. An avid bibliophile with a photographic memory, Teddy Roosevelt loved to fight in the boxing ring and to hunt big game. Although he shot and killed hundreds of endangered animals, he also provided for greater environmental protection regulations than almost any other president. He was a man of many contradictions, but seemed to live life on a grander scale than is possible for even the most awesome among us.

In 1912, While Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee, a saloon keeper named John Schrank shot him. Teddy Roosevelt, as an experienced hunter and anatomist, correctly concluded that since he wasn't coughing blood the bullet had not completely penetrated the chest wall to his lung, and so declined suggestions he go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt.

His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

The man was a total badass whose genius intellect was only matched by the speed of his trigger finger and the force of his right hook.

Some Fast Facts about Teddy Roosevelt:
  • Roosevelt began every day by wrestling his entire cabinet and throwing them out the window.
  • When Rejected by the Mainstream Republican Party, Roosevelt created the "Bull Moose" party. Initially, only moose were allowed to join, as Roosevelt admired their solid, stubborn nature, their hatred of trusts, and their ability to legally have sex with female moose.
  • Later, party membership would be open to anyone who could grow antlers
  • The "teddy bear" was named after Teddy Roosevelt because of his love of bear meat and the fact that he was covered in fur
  • Teddy Roosevelt originally built the American Museum of Natural History as a kind of lepidopterist's "killing jar." But instead of butterflies, he put dinosaurs inside and starved them until they were skeletons
  • Roosevelt was originally from New York, but he shat Pennsylvania
  • Roosevelt died fighting an old lion and was buried in Mount Rushmore, where his gigantic, fossilized face stares out over the country he beat into shape to this very day.

You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it. reply

Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote. reply

Thad B. Awesome replied to Olav Rokne on 6/8/2009
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War. reply
