About me

There's a strong family resemblance

And we both like to fly

Play media

We're punctual

Play media

But I can't carry a tune to save my life

We're aesthetic

So much so that Japan issued this postage stamp the year I was born

Zozoulia is an American-born Israeli. He has been a Wikipedian since 2006 and is primarily, but not exclusively, a WikiGnome.

Having spent a lot of time in Washington, D.C., he appeared way back when as a student extra in The Exorcist, stood in the snow at the second inauguration of Richard Nixon, was present at the signing of the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty, was stuck in traffic in Georgetown trying to get onto Key Bridge when Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the Potomac River, attended a joint session of the United States Congress, was invited twice into the Oval Office, and watched from the bleachers at RFK Stadium when the Washington Senators forfeited their last game to the New York Yankees and again when Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann was sacked and his career came to a sudden end (coincidentally, Joe and Zozoulia's father were both raised in South River, New Jersey).

″They call me a loser. I ask you, am I a loser?″ – Shimon Peres, after losing his sixth attempt to be elected prime minister of Israel, June 12, 1997.

″It depends on what the meaning of the word ′is′ is.″ – Bill Clinton, in his sworn testimony to the Paula Jones grand jury, August 17, 1998.

And in contrast, anything ever said by Sir Winston Churchill, a politician who never prevaricated.
