Me and Nicolai

Me and NicolaeNicolae Ceauşescu (January 26, 1918–December 25, 1989) was the leader of Romania from 1965 until December 1989, when a revolution and coup removed him from power. He was a brutal dictator and was finally executed by revolutionaries in a kind of kangaroo court.

I had heard of him before but didn’t really pay much attention until a donor sent me a picture of him as a younger man. Holy Canoli. You tell me if I’m crazy or if this guy could pass for my twin brother.

If he is a distant relative then maybe that explains some of my leadership style tendencies… I’ll blame it on bad genes!
