There was a very short period in my life that I’d considered becoming a sort of trivia expert of all things relating to Warren Harding. The idea came to me after reading an article about the worst presidents, and to be sure the original Warren G. is always on those lists, usually among the top two or three. I believe it was his money quote “I am not fit for this office and should never have been here” that colored me most-impressed. There’s sort of something to be said about acknowledging one’s shortcomings. Anyway, file “Become a Warren Harding trivia warehouse” under “Unlikely to be actualized bucket list goals.”
Feel free to post your favorite president and reasons why in the comments section below. Also, if you haven’t already, you should do Tom Pepper’s guest puzzle from last Friday.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
Top half of the grid about three minutes, but the bottom half about nine. BIO PASSPORT and SLEEVE tattoo are new ones on me.
my favorite president is some guy in normandy but i just solved this puzzle in under 5 minutes!
Millard Fillmore, for his only contribution to western civ., the invention of the bathtub. (I know HL Mencken legendarized that, but you have to take what you can sometimes.) + 29D is the best clue.
Guess I should keep better abreast of sports trivia. Biopassport threw me; kept wanting bio-pissport thinking BEQ was being cute. Wilson is my fave cuz he’s the first one with educational credentials. Not to mention that the League of Nations could have averted WWII.
Francois Mitterand, whose wife and mistress stood side-by-side at his funeral.
William Henry Harrison, because he managed to get it over with so quickly. The man managed to kill himself giving his inauguration speech (more or less)…
