December Botticelli

DQ.

I didn’t figure you were Al Franken’s character Stuart Smalley, but I had to take a punt.

I’ve PM’d them. Le Ministre is very busy and sends his regrets; haven’t heard back from ChockFull or Spoons.

Previous IQs:

Did your name become a cliche for a tyrannical overseer? - Yes, Simon Legree from Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Were you Lincoln’s SecWar? - Yes, Edwin M. Stanton.
Were you a protagonist in Jeffrey Archer’s First Among Equals? - Simon Kerslake, a centrist Tory MP (great political novel, BTW).

DQ:

From a show that aired before 1965?

IQs:

Did you promise to build a bridge that your successor decided not to?
Are you a prominent radio foreign correspondent?
Did you call a timeout for a rival’s wedding night?

My schedule’s been unpredictable the last little while, and I haven’t been able to play as much as I’d like. Hopefully, things will settle down soon.

Never heard of either one of them…
