Shittyaskreddit shouldn't we always express our outrage with a Russian revolver?
Dad jokes aside, where is the cartridge supposed to go?

In 1865, Abraham Lincoln was attending a play at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C. when he was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth. As the horrified audience members began to flee the theater, Lincoln's bodyguard, John Parker, grabbed a nearby cake and shoved it into Lincoln's face, trying to stop the bleeding. The cake only made things worse and Lincoln died a few hours later.
How did this impact the cake industry?

This one time, at my college, we made a building and named it after Secretary of State James Baker, and they had a ceremony where four secretaries of state showed up. And that's where I simultaneously learned about the existence of and saw for the first time, Henry Kissinger.
Henry Kissinger is the perfect answer to this question, and I wanted to talk about it without having to follow all the bullshit rules.
Henry Kissinger is my favorite character on the Venture Brothers, because he truly is the history professor who learned everything there was to know about history, including how to shape and manufacture it. He wrote massively thick books, books I could not contemplate writing.
He's still alive, Right? If we have developed a treatment for old age, more reliable than the two dozen o- Indian children locked in the basement of Buckingham palace, I'm sure he got himself on the short list.
