I hope you don't mind if I put in another nickle too: Harrison died on the same day as Martin Luther King, Jr. And they both died on what happens to be my birthday! I sure have a deadly birthday, huh?

You should have used that as the title! You did manage to make me laugh as well. Considering that I had nothing much to say, I decided to put a dash of humor in. I don't think that would have fit as a title, though. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" ali

Settling in for a long write, the series now reaches William Henry Harrison. Harrison's election is considered the first modern election, complete with songs, themes, and hoopla. Harrison was portrayed as a simple frontiersman, despite being from a grand manor on a plantation in Virgini

Sorry for the split double post. I have never seen that before! Me neither. Not quite sure how it happened either. But dont appologize. After all, if any of them is for

You got a few blogs to go before you get to him! Where's William? Oh, I nearly forgot! Sorry, Dr. Guy, I'll get right on it. You can expect to see it in a few minutes.

The City? You can have it! I have been there, and other than having a shore on the wrong side (north), it is one of the dullest cities I have ever been to. Oh no, that's Ohio's mess! <TD class="mb-Bo

Let me redeem myself. In the article, you did not mention that Van Buren was the first president to be born in the United States after it won its independence. That is an important fact. You are correct. You have officially redeemed yourself, and can now use the title "The Fazz" once more. <img src=".

I know a ton of stuff about the "unknowns." Problem is, all the things I know are irrelevant. For example, you know Taft was fat because if you rearrange his name . . . Taft=Fatt I know, as you've told me numerous times before.

The only thing I knew about Van Buren was that he was rather scary looking. Sadly, that is the most flattering picture I could find! <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-

No you dont! He was born in Staunton VA! We got first dibs on him! What? Aw....well, if that's the way it goes, we got a claim on Cleveland!

And yes, Van Buren to Buchanan, most are unknowns. HOWEVER, being a Virginian, I do know about William Henry Harrison (is that a one liner?) and John Tyler, and Zach. After all, we are the 'Mother of Presidents' Commonwealth! Yes, and you are resented for it! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/sm

One thing I don't get....we called him gay for years, but when we finally think he was engaged to a woman he went all "You shut up!" You think maybe he's hiding something?

Van Buren is one of the "Unknown" (unknown as in most people could not name him if they had to) Presidents, Most presidents are, sadly. Van Buren is just a starter for a solid bloc of Unknown Presidents coming up in the series. <TD class="mb-Bod

Leaving behind my favorite president, I now type of Martin Van Buren. Van Buren was the handpicked successor of Andrew Jackson. He was the first president to run against the Whig party. The third president to serve only one term, he was defeated by William Henry Harrison in 1840. He was th

yes you do, you were one of the crazies I was thinking of. dncguy another, must I name them all? you know I appreciate you and your point of view. I know you do. You need not name them all, it was just a light-hearted comment. The Fazz contibuted to my turnaround, but he was working his magic long befor

Can I agree with you both? Certainly. Ok, I have to say, as I did before, that it was a black mark on his presidency (and for the record, I was glad that some no BS guy finally got elected), but he was overall good
