Pearl Harbor Day

Very few people know this, but along with ice cream, the Madison Administration's greatest success was in cultivating national unity through the office of his Vice President, George Clinton.

Is it that no one gets my presidential history jokes, or is it that they aren't funny?

There is no room for negativity

As I tell my clients, don’t ask the question if you don’t want to hear the answer…

Ouch!

Sue, I thought it was somewhat funny, but then I doubt I am the student of US history that you are. If I recall, Clinton was Jefferson's second VP (after Burr); did the rules change from making the second place candidate VP by that time?

Not so much a student of US history, just an interest in Jefferson and Madison, really, but yes, Clinton was Jefferson's veep and was also Madison's (for his first term). Clinton had ambitions and significant support for the presidency but Madison outmaneuvered him for the nomination of the Democratic-Republicans.

But the George Clinton joke I was going for was:

What am I; chopped liver?

Sue--from what I have read, Clinton also had a lot of enemies, and many senators openly attacked and hated him, which is what I thought the joke referred to. I forgot about the more recent George Clinton.

Nah, some people here like chopped liver....

I like chopped liver. I thought perhaps "Swiss cheese" but that seemed a bit ethnic. I dunno - you go to all the trouble of quoting a song lyric and nobody notices (sob)

So sorry, Meade! I've been "at" a conference the last three days and between presenting and attending seminars I haven't really been paying attention to Plan B. Also, didn't recognize the lyric.

I am one of those people who like chopped liver, tho. (On rye with a slice of sweet onion is my go-to when we get lunch at the deli.)
