Our first President is a Library criminal. Thank goodness we finally caught up with him.

This story would be much cooler if Mt. Vernon still had the actual copy of the book that Washington checked out, instead of replacing it with another copy.

When I was reading through that list of names, I was picturing each individual in my mind, and I have to admit, that was the first image that popped into my mind when I read the name George Clinton.
