Just want to thank you for your post about the best muppet to be president, i'm still crying laughing that you worried dr. bunson would be criticized for not having political vision because he doesn't have eyeballs and that kermit is a sociopath. Literally the most random comments ever!

Thank you. That was a surprisingly popular post that inspired quite a bit of debate. Sometimes I do question whether I should be disappointed by the fact that I've been writing about Presidential history on Tumblr for over 15 years now and some of the more popular posts are similar to the one where I debated which Muppet would make the best President. Something tells me that I wouldn't get the same response to a deep-dive on the Ostend Manifesto.

I stand by the fact that Rizzo the Rat would be the best choice. The more I thought about it, it wasn't so much the fact that Dr. Bunsen Honeydew doesn't have eyeballs that suggests he might not be the best President, but the fact that he probably lost his eyes in a laboratory accident, meaning he might not have even be a good scientist.

And I vehemently disagree with all the Miss Piggy truthers. She would be a disaster. If you haven't recognized the fact that she's a toxic presence and seems to be genuinely abusive on every possible level, then I don't know why we're even having this conversation. This is obviously serious business, not a game or a popularity contest.

(Oh, and for those who were supporting Sam the Eagle, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. He is obviously John C. Calhoun, and I shouldn't even need to explain why he's unacceptable.)

[quotesfrommyreading]

The federal government is premised on equal fealty from all its citizens, who in return are to receive equal treatment. But as late as the mid-20th century, this bargain was not granted to black people, who repeatedly paid a higher price for citizenship and received less in return. Plunder had been the essential feature of slavery, of the society described by Calhoun. But practically a full century after the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the plunder—quiet, systemic, submerged—continued even amidst the aims and achievements of New Deal liberals.

Daily Fact About Each U.S. Vice-President

Day 7: John C. Calhoun

Boy, was Johnny C. a whirlwind to look into.

John C. Calhoun was one of the biggest supporters of slavery during his time. He believed that slavery was a very necessary and good thing in the world. He even resigned as vice because Andrew Jackson made Tarrifs that disfavored the confederation.

Originalism and the Independent State Legislature Doctrine

Originalism and the Independent State Legislature Doctrine

The Supreme Court is going to take up another North Carolina redistricting case next week. This time, the North Carolina legislature is arguing that the General Assembly has the sole responsibility for overseeing federal elections, including drawing Congressional districts.  Specifically, North Carolina Republican leaders say that the state supreme court is overreaching when redrawing…

Wanted to keep this off the original post, but back in the early 2010s my grandmother (from the appalachian side) got really interested in ancestry and found out that we're distantly related to robert e lee. When some of us got visibly uncomfortable she gave us a comprehensive character defense with all the talking points mentioned in dubois's 1928 assessment. Absolutely insane how little the narrative has changed.

#i think we're also distantly related to john c calhoun but cant remember for sure #(and not particularly inclined to reopen this can of worms with my grandparents) #anyway! love being from the south. love that we cook everything in bacon grease and we're all distantly related to criminals
