Good job, **astorian**! I was a long way from guessing him. Previous IQs: Were you badly defeated by Congressman David Joyce (R-Ohio) in Nov. 2014? - Michael Wager. Were you a regular on _Whose Line Is It Anyway_? - Yes, Wayne Brady. Was Archibald Butt a trusted aide of yours? - President William Howard Taft; Butt was lost when the _Titanic_ sank. IQs: Did you run a “grocery” when it meant something different than it does now? Did an actress have to really bulk up to play you since 1998? Did you look quite a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio as a young man? ---
