JUST LIKE RIDING A WIRE FENCE: LBJ's custom Haggar slacks. Jackson's giant wheel of cheese. The typo in the Lincoln Memorial from the carving of his second inaugural. John Tyler's living grandchildren. We have accumulated a lot of Presidential ephemera and trivia over the years; share your favorites.

That John Tyler is the only President to have been buried on (somewhat) foreign soil, having died in 1862 and buried in Virginia.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that any airplane on which the President flies automatically becomes Air Force One, and yet Air Force One is also a proper noun. Take that, Kripke!
ReplyDeleteThe show I'm currently working on sometimes ponies up a tidbit or two, but the stuff I picked up last season about how Washington and Lincoln's descendants were involved in the creation of Arlington Cemetery was by far the most interesting.
