Happy Birthday MLK

This day is special for 2 reasons

1.Martin Luther King Jr, for all his striving to try to make America a more equal place and work in the Civil Rights movement

2.Because Obama goes into office tomorrow it is also a good day to look back on the best and worst and weirdest moments in presidential history

Top 5 weirdest presidential facts

1.Benjamin Harrison[1889-1893] was so scared of light switches he slept with the lights on
2. George W. Bush [2001-2009] was a C student
3.James Buchanan [1857-1861] the 1st and only bachelor
4. Richard Nixon[1969-1974] 1st and only president to resign
5. Franklin D. Roosevelt [1933-1945] Only president to run past 8 years

Top 5 best presidencies

1.John F. Kennedy [1961-1963] started what would later become the Civil Rights Movement
2. Franklin D. Roosevelt [1933-1945] got the U.S. out of the Great Depression with the New Deal and of course WWII
3.Andrew Jackson[1829-1837] Abolished the corrupt bank system[imagine what he woulda' done with Wall Street now if he was president]
4.Abraham Lincoln [1861-1865] Abolished slavery
5.Theodore Roosevelt [1901-1909] National Park system comes to mind

Top 5 worst presidencies

5.George W. Bush [2001-2009] Tried to kill the constitution,grab oil, made guns more available than necessary,and I could go on and on
4.Andrew Johnson[1865-1869] Destroyed what Lincoln worked hard,pissed off everybody,and got impeached
3.Harry S. Truman[1945-1953] He really had no idea of what to do and innocent lives were crushed by the atomic bombs
2.Jimmy Carter[1977-1981]Like Bush his presidency had a terrible foreign policy and now Iran hates us,Iran could have been an ally but no Carter ruined that with that puppet of his"The Shah"
1.Richard Nixon [1969-1974] The word Watergate comes to mind

Also R.I.P Martin Luther King (1929-1968)

The Monkey World Post-Birhday Edition

That's right I'm 3 now so there!!! Ok I'll name all of what I've done right away

I lazed,lazed,and lazed around and played video games while Tom was at school and other stuff

UBT:Hey get off this is supposed to be My Post-Birthday and New Year post,NOT yours!
Me: But why Tom,why???
UBT:Who works hard makes it so you come to scout camp,huh???
Me:FINE!

Sorry about that! Anyway I'm 16,I went up to the snow twice this month9once Skiing,the next sledding with the stake)

No I'm not getting my driver's license,no my first impulse is not to start going on dates ok that's too normal.

Don't ask how my Icelandic is coming I haven't done it in ages.

I Can't believe on the 20th I'll have lived to have seen President number 4 and first racial minority President(I had the fortune to only see a week of Bush Sr but sadly 8 years of the White Bush with is icy,wintery narrow ideas of patriotism but the winter is almost gone)

Wow connecting politics to Narnia is hard

This has been a great year......... so far

CP:Ok my turn again
Me:Oh go sleep in your stuff sack

Happy 2009 ya'll!
