The future Johnsons, Lyndon and Lady Bird, around 1915.

after the longest hiatus in blog history, I thought you should know that I make cupcakes with presidents, too.

I’m sure your victory couldn’t be sweeter,

Benjamin Harrison, you goddamn cheater.

Harrison’s birthday was August 20.

calvin’s birthday was july 4

Best and most quiet of friends, silent Cal,
You let me ride your mechanical pony!
I am so lucky that you’re my pal!
Though you are stoic and often stony,
You’re still a staunch and stalwart crony!

I can talk about anything with you—
The Kellogg-Briand pact or laissez-faire—
Even your great acts of revenue!
Though your diplomatic skills be spare,
Your friendship skills are beyond compare!

Much of your wisdom remains untold,
But the words you utter are solid GOLD.

I have been remiss in my poetic duties.

today I went to the adams national historic park.

I just like this photo. look how fat taft is.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson—lifelong frenemies—both die on the same day. That’s just how patriotic they were.

these two guys are not really thomas jefferson and john adams. I just wanted to be clear.

millard.
