Did you know that one of the presidential candidates in 1948 was named Strom Thurmond? And to add to it, this distinctive individual was a Dixiecrat. Did you know there was such a thing as a Dixiecrat? I didn't.
While we're on the subjects of presidents, today is Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. What a man. There will never be another one like him.
And while we're on the subject of what happened on this day, I'd like to announce that it is Cranky Co-workers Day. Kiss a cranky co-worker!
Addendum: Also among the parties and factions within factions that have entered America's colorful political glossary is the Mugwump party, the Greenback and Goldbug parties, the Freesoil party, and the Green and Grassroots parties.
