"The secret is to tell 'em stories that dont go anywhere. Like the time we went over to Shelbyville during the war, I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldnt get those white onions, because of the war, you could only get those big yellow ones. Now where was I? Oh yeah, the important thing was I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time..."

Happy 223rd birthday to William Henry Harrison, the 9th President of the United States! Harrison is best known for holding the record for shortest term in office (one month). He died of a case of pneumonia that he contracted during a cold and rainy inauguration day, a day that included the infamous 90 minute inaugural address in which he promised not to seek a second term.

However, William Henry Harrison broke a few other interesting records. Until Ronald Reagan, Harrison was the oldest man to be sworn in to the presidency, at the age of 68. He was also the first man to actively campaign for the presidency, and the first to employ a campaign slogan ("Tippacanoe and Tyler, Too"). He is credited with killing Shawnee Chief Tecumseh at the Battle of Thames River.
