[snyprrr]

Andrew Jackson, the bank killer

[canninator]

The Gourmet Spreadable is good but the Roquefort would have to be my favorite

[Brünnhilde forever]

Have you ever tried the Brie? Kept at room temperature, very agreeable, dislikes being frozen.

[Dundonnell]

Calvin Coolidge.......a man of very few words

[c#minor]

Jimmy Hoffa

He was the President....... of the teamsters

[karlhenning]

Thos Jefferson. He founded a school I went to.

And TR--he founded a national park system I went to.

Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite president. And he remains a personal hero of sorts - a man who loved to do everything. What greater goal can one aspire to?

TR at Yosemite:


He established 5 national parks, 18 national monuments, 55 wildlife preserves, and 150 national forests.  Too bad that mass communications have so perverted electoral politics that men and women of such vision and integrity are no longer electable to high office.

Of all: Washington, although there are several to admire.

Yes, there's nothing like the original.

Washington's Farewell Address, still relevant and unheeded more than two centuries later.

Really like that portrait, with the horse in such a dynamic and ungrandiose pose.

I love that famous quote from Dorothy Parker on being told that Coolidge had died: "How could they tell?"

Everytime when a Democrat is elected to the NY governorship in Albany, the portrait of FDR goes up in the governor's mansion.  When a Republican is elected to the NY governorship in Albany, the portrait of TR goes up immediately.  It is pretty amusing ...

My favorite is the story about a friend saying to Coolidge, "I bet ten bucks I can get you to say three words or more." And Coolidge said, "You lose."

Same ritual in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, of course.

I think the Roosevelts are the only two presidents that can have so much fun after they are long gone.  TR was also the only police commissioner who landed himself in the White House ...

FDR for what he accomplished while in office, and Jimmy Carter for what he has accomplished since leaving office.
