4. George Washington
Yep. The man that started it all. The big kahuna. The Optimus Prime of Presidents. Lieutenant General George Washington set many of the precedents that became unwritten law for decades until some of them were enshrined as amendments to the Constitution. His career, love him or hate him, is a long and storied one...but I suspect my account will tell more unvarnished truth about Washington's military prowess than your textbooks did.

Washington, our worst military leader saved by European miscreants.

If you needed a flambouyantly gay Prussian to teach your army formations, you are bad at war.

Well done, Tony. Maybe if I have time I'll try to think up some Civil War trivia to help out.

I think I can write up something on Lincoln's love of new technology, if anyone is interested?

I don't know if he had JFK's charisma. But I can't say I'd wish anyone to be vaporized in a flying bomb program intended to kill nazis.

Joe Sr. Is an interesting case, corrupt, tied to bootleggers, and a very lucky stock investor that was an extremely controversial pick to be the first head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the end, he did a surprisingly good job putting the hurt on lovely companies.

Well done!

I apologize for not getting my groove effortposting in months. Taft was a lot of time and it still feels wanting, and since then I've been busy with a lot of personal projects.

That being said, I am working on a shortlist of smaller topics I might be able to cover more readily.

It's 2019 and Virginia has a governor who did blackface. :colbert:

And he was the "liberal" one.
