Happy Presidents Day

[kensmind]

Today is Presidents Day. In keeping with this community's tradition, I give you the annual Presidents Day Quiz, which can be found behind the cut below. Don't worry, there's no scoring system, just have fun with it. To check your answers, after you've done the poll, hit the view answers and see which answer kensmind selected. (He had a cheat sheet).

Aw man....I missed an LBJ one!

Ah yes, the "Johnson treatment".

7 out of 10 for me. The morning host on KUSC (Southern California's public classical music station) was talking about John Quincy Adams and his skinny dipping this morning. And while doing some research on the Cold War, I heard a discussion of the Harry Truman newspaper critic incident on an old recording of Edward R. Murrow's radio program, Hear It Now (forerunner of See It Now).

Fortunately for Quincy, he is better remembered for other things besides his skinnydipping!

Well not so bad. I missed Arthur and Harding. Now I have some new facts. I like that we all knew that Pierce was a drunk in retirement.

Poor Handsome Frank, he drank his good looks away!

Great quiz. I usually use "Who is the only president born in Illinois?" to stump the band.

[kensmind]

That is a great one. Most people assume either Lincoln or Grant.

Another question I meant to include, but forgot, was "Who is the only President to lead an army while in office?" The answer is the guy who led an army to put down the Whiskey Rebellion.

That's an easy one since I grew up in Western Pennsylvania.
