Placemats, Anthony Hopkins, and Jimmy B

I was at the store today and there were these kids' placemats. Some of the placemats had fun things (Disney characters or whatever) but most of the "kids" placemats had things like various maps of the U.S. with state capitals, facts about the Solar System, and my personal favorite, the U.S. Presidents.

The thing that really sticks with me is that I'm pretty sure that our 15th President, James Buchanan, must have been played by Sir Anthony Hopkins. Don't take my word for it, check out the portraits.

Sir Anthony

Jimmy B.

Ain't no lie. Casting problem solved. Too bad no one even remembers this bastard was a president. But everyone still thinks Ben Franklin was. All we have to thank Jimmy for was that Civil War...

  • Jimmy B sounds like a mobster's name from The Sopranos. Hmm...

    I'm jealous you are done with law school exams and can do fun things like go to the grocery store.

  • Journal tryouts, Niki. If I have to look at one more goddamn Commerce Clause case I will go insane.

    Just make some time for yourself. Go do something fun! The paper will be "A" work I'm sure.

  • I did a report on James B. in the 5th grade. Tried to get him on a coin I wanted to call the "meto" but that failed miserably.
