A little thread to hopefully bring us together with Americans we all (mostly) admire.

Important rule: NO LIVING PEOPLE. This should cut down on the potential controversies.

I think any such list should start with

1. James Madison



Architect of the Constitution, 4th President, wife founded snack cake empire

2 President Abraham Lincoln

He led the nation the American Civil War. He succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S. economy.

GEORGE WASHINGTON:  The only man who could have been our first President.  At the end of the Revolution, his officers were prepared to crown him as the first King of the United States.  He declined that honor, disbanded his army, and handed his sword back to the Congress. 
It was because of this almost unprecedented act that he was entrusted with the powers of the Presidency five years later.  A man who would refuse a crown freely offered was a man who could be trusted with power.

10.  Grover Clleveland

Arguably the most personally honest man ever to be President of the United States.  When the story of his sexual indiscretions from ten years in the past broke in the middle of the 1884 campaign, he instructed his staff:  "Whatever you do, tell the truth."

    ImageThe Giant Claw - Slime drop

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
