As young Sherman observes at the beginning of . . .
. . . PEABODY'S IMPROBABLE HISTORY: P. T. BARNUM, Connecticut's Philip Taylor Barnum invented the earliest known version of the American PT Boat during the first U. S. Civil War, which is why it is named after him. Though later tinkerers added such items as engines and torpedoes to Barnum's baby, as documented in the feature film THEY WERE EXPENDABLE, the genius behind JFK's Presidency is Republican politico Barnum, who's most famous quote is "There's a sucker born every minute somewhere in our U. S. Homeland." To cater to his electorate base, Barnum "gave 'em bread and circuses" featuring animal abuse and exploitation of unconventional people. That is why pundits credit Barnum with pioneering Pachyderm Political Party Pandemonium.
