President #35

November 30th, 2009

The story of President Andrew Johnson is yet another example of the grand American Dream: That any man can raise himself by his bootstraps from poverty and ignorance, to rise through the ranks of society till one day that man can be successful and well spoken enough to be roundly vilified by everyone around him, until he is barely acquitted from impeachment just because he tried to deny others the very same chance he had to follow the American Dream.

That old story.

Also, I thought he would look pretty cool as a magical centaur warrior.
