Let's Talk Presidents Day: Leman/Stanzi 2012

PrintAs we celebrate Presidents Day (by, er, watching buckets of snow fall from the sky -- I HATE YOU WINTER, I HATE YOU SO GODDAMN MUCH), it's important not to just look back and reflect on presidents of the past or to make silly comparisons between former players and former presidents ("Bob Sanders was like William Henry Harrison -- they were both really short and had very brief careers at the highest professional levels" or "Matt Roth was like Teddy Roosevelt -- pugnacious to a fault, controversial, and just as happy to rip your arm off and club you with it as shake your hand"), but to look forward and embrace the future. And let us remind you that the future is Leman/Stanzi 2012:
So by all means, celebrate the lives and accomplishments of the forty-four men who have held the title "President of the United States." Just be prepared to get swept up in the rising tide of incredibly patriotic (and soundbite-ready) LEMANSTANZIMANIA come 2012.
Herky's already onboard. Don't fight it, America. Just embrace it.

All you Jacobites are exactly the same.
Silencing dissent? Down with Jacobitism!

I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.
Funnily enough, the picture in that link is actually a portrait of Adam Jacobi.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
And all this time I thought he was Jacobean.
I need to brush up on my 17th Century English history.

This really creeps me out
mainly because They Might Be Giants has a song called James K. Polk. And it came on my shuffle as I’m reading this. It’s got to be some kind of sign, but I don’t know what.
It never gets to be easy.
Why the fuck doesn't it ever get to be easy?

Presidents of the United States
Most of us now know that Franklin Roosevelt had a long-time extramarital affair with Lucy Mercer.
And that Thomas Jefferson fathered illegitimate children by Sally Hemmings, one of his slaves.
But few people know that in the spring of 1867, Andrew Johnson had sex with a bird. Johnson’s affair with the sparrow was no secret among the Washington elite, and is even alluded to [fade down, then up to a political cartoon with Andrew Johnson and a sparrow close to each other and the phrase “sex not the bird” above them] in political cartoons of the time. This may be how Johnson earned the nickname, “The Carolina Bird-Bagger.”

Wait, you can make .GIFs now?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Sort of
I still haven’t figured out how to edit a video to make a gif. Once I can do that, then I can start causing some real trouble….

Oh, hey.
Has anyone else been following this Libya thing? Ghadaffi or Qadaffi or however it’s spelled took time from bombing his own people to show up on television dressed like an escapee from Arkham. He looked awesome with his umbrella and wooly hat. He also issued the following statement (This is the extent):
I am satisfied, because I was speaking in front of the youth in the Green Square tonight, but the rain came praise to God it bears well. I want to clarify for them that I am in Tripoli not in Venezuela. Do not believe these channels they are dogs. Goodbye.
I know this is a football blog but I had to share my utter disbelief at how insane this situation is. I actually felt like laughing until I remembered how many lives are at stake.

Treasury Secretary Dominique Douglas?
He’s got the cure to all our recession woes, baby.

I'm going to be honest...
I was going along, rec’ing everything I thought worthy. After the first 3 or 4 though, I was like “You can’t rec every goddamn post, quit it.” But this thread is full to the top with win. Clearly learning how to make .gifs unleashed some kind of genius in HFMR. Sort of like Good Will Hunting I suppose, but with less Ben Afleck.

God if only there was less Ben Affleck in the world…

He's actually becoming a pretty decent director
Gone Baby Gone was good, and the Town wasn’t bad (even if it was pretty much the same movie as Heat). But then, getting him behind the camera instead of in front of it may be your whole point.

"So by all means, celebrate the lives and accomplishments of the forty-four men who have held the title 'President of the United States.'"
There have only been 43 presidents. Grover Cleveland was 22 and 24.

Or technically there have been 44 presidents but only 43 men who have been president
If we count presidents by order of succession, 44, by individuals, 43.
Sorry

Tom Lemming gets the NAMBLA endorsement
I’m referring of course to the National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes.
