Happy ‘dents Day.
Today is not the day to laude or lambast our current Prezzy. Instead, let us take note of notable fun facts from our past leaders. (Let us also act like bankers and government employees who will undoubtedly spend all day in bed nursing a hangover):
President No. 6: John Quincy Adams was partial to skinny-dipping in the Potomac. Once, he was surprised mid-swim by an intrepid female reporter, who forced him into a naked interview.
President No. 28: Ironically, the best-educated president, Woodrow Wilson, enjoyed imitating drunks and telling racist jokes in an Irish accent.
President No. 29: As president, Warren G. Harding bet a priceless set of White House china on a poker game—and lost.
President No. 34: Dwight D. Eisenhower hated cats. When he retired to Gettysburg, Penn., he’d shoot any cat that came near his house.
