    about teddy roosevelt:

    Greatest Display of Badassedry:
    While campaigning for a third term, Roosevelt was shot by a madman and, instead of treating the wound, delivered his campaign speech with the bleeding, undressed bullet hole in his chest. On the other end of the spectrum, reasons why certain members of the Cracked Editorial Staff have called out of work over the last year include:

    "A cold."
    "A stubbed toe."
    "It's raining."
    "There's a spider near the door."


    hahaha

    John Quincy Adams was the sonny crocket of his times

    he kept a pet alligator in the East Wing of the White House.

    Anyone see that mini-series John Adams on HBO? That was a good show... kinda of for the people that wanted to learn more about our founding fathers, but didn't have the attention span to reread another history book. Basically.. me.:o
    Paul Giamatti played John Adams... I never knew John Adams hated drinking fucking Merlot!:D
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    You'll love it then!! The production value is really high... I think Tom Hanks and his team produced it... so they actually make you feel as though you are there witnessing history. I got the DVD.. it's 3 DVD with 7 full hour episodes. Definitely worth it

    That's right Playtone Productions. I certainly enjoyed really seeing the dark side of him. Very self-absorbed. Better than the usual historical puff pieces.

    Am I the only one old enough to remembe the Adams Chronicles on PBS from years ago?

    That was terrific.
