I've been posting this morning with the History Channel on TV playing in the background. I've learned a whole lot of stuff today about some of our Presidents that I didn't know. We have a tendency to made real legends out of our earlier/dead Presidents....but I suspect they are as odd as the ones which are still alive.

Luba....you took LAW in 8th Grade??? Wow!
---------------------------------------
DA...Did you see the special on President Lincoln on the History Channel? I had no idea he battled deep depression and such. He really had a rough time in life as a human being...much less a President. You could buy the 2 hour special on there for your library. Maybe someone will buy it for you as a gift.
He is not one of my favorites at all....but it was a VERY good program.
