Greetings Infomaniacs,

The upcoming U.S. presidential election is weighing heavily
on many people’s minds. You hear so much positive and
negative about each candidate that it’s always tough to know
who will really be best for our country. While it is a
serious topic, I’d like to lighten the mood a bit with some
FUN trivia about past American presidents.

Enjoy!

                    TODAY’S MYSTERY QUOTE

QUOTE: “There is little place in the political scheme of
things for an independent, creative personality, for a
fighter. Anyone who takes that role must pay a price.” 

HINT: (1924-2005), American politician, educator and author.

                        RANDOM TIDBITS

John Adams was the first president to reside in the White
House, moving in November 1800 while the paint was still
wet. When Adams and his family moved to Washington to live
in the White House, they got lost in the woods north of the
city for several hours.

                             ***

Thomas Jefferson wrote his own epitaph never mentioning
that he served as president. His epitaph read, “Author of
the Declaration of American Independence, Author of the
Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and the Father
of the University of Virginia.”

                             ***

John Quincy Adams regularly swam nude in the Potomac River.
The first American professional journalist, Anne Royall,
knew of Adams’ 5:00 a.m. swims. After being refused
interviews with Adams many times, she went to the river,
gathered his clothes and sat on them until she had her
interview. Before this, no female had interviewed a
president.

Do you remember Bozo The Clown?

If you’re like me you grew up watching Bozo The Clown. There
were many different Bozo’s around the country. Here in Chicago
it was Bob Bell. Even Willard Scott got his start being Bozo.

But there was one Bozo who started it all and to most people
he IS the one and only Bozo. That’s Larry Harmon.

On July 3, 2008 we lost Larry. Luckily his work and the magic
that is Bozo will live on forever. Check out this video clip
of Bozo.

You can also buy the DVD at a discounted price. Check it out

Martin Van Buren was the first U.S. president born in the
United States. The presidents preceding Van Buren were born
in colonies that later became states. Van Buren was the
first to be born after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution.

                             ***

To set a good example for the country Rutherford B. Hayes
banished liquor and wine from the White House.

                             ***

Benjamin Harrison was the first president to use electricity
in the White House. After he got an electrical shock, his
family often refused to touch the light switches and
sometimes would go to bed with the lights on.
