President's Day Trivia

PRESIDENT'S DAY TRIVIA!

With Presidents Day here, I thought I'd do a little research on some of the great men that held our nation's highest office. After much "Googling", I was surprised to find the following fun facts:

  • Grover Cleveland could fart the alphabet.
  • Confused by the title, and in the midst of an energy crisis, Jimmy Carter tried to pass a constitutional amendment banning the Electric Slide.
  • Even while he was president, nobody knew who the fuck Millard Fillmore was.
  • James Madison invented the first version of Facebook, then known as Portraitbook.
  • "The Great Depression" comes from the term Eleanor Roosevelt used to describe FDR's penis.
  • John Quincy Adams thought pleats made him look fat.
  • The Oriental Bell Telephone Company was formed at the behest of Chester A. Arthur just so he could prank call his buddy Jim.
  • George W. Bush is constantly irritated that his words do not fit in Sudoku puzzles.

As I have been saying all along, and from what you state, it seems that the presidential material running the country, with all due respect to the office, have not been the brightest light bulbs in our midst.
This, and many others, is the reason why, I have said, for a while now, that Barack Obama's election to the presidency of the United States of America, will be a raising of the bar for future candidates, as he appears to be a person of unusual intelligence and brilliance.
But it all comes down to caring, sincerity, and love of the people.

It is time that we stood up for something.

Yes, We Can!

Enough said.

James Buchanan, our first gay president, couldn't interior decorate worth a damn, leaving such tasks to his long-time companion, Alabama Senator William King.
