Polked, Pierced, and finally Bush.

This is Franklin Pierce. He was President of the United States. He was born in New England. He was a northerner with southern sympathies. His excellent policy decisions helped bring about the Civil War. After he left office he drank himself to death.

Does he look familiar? He is an ancestor of our illustrious leader, Dubya. Did you know George Bush was born in Connecticut?

I guess it is a slight improvement to have started the Civil War in another country. But who knows. If the next president is Pat Buchanan, I'm going to get really nervous.

I can't figure out what he is reaching into his jacket for. Enlighten me.
