Thoughts on Teddy Bears

I don't get into politics.

As certain sore-bottomed bunnies now, political talk, especially worked up, mouth-foaming, ranting political argument is a good way to get me very, very annoyed.

But as I was putting puzzles away yesterday a thought struck me that I can't quite shake.

Once upon a time they tried to mock Theodore Roosevelt for standing up for a moral principle.

And in the process inadvertently created one of the world's most universally recognized and beloved symbols of warmth and comfort in human history.



Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?
