Quotes from our Founding Fathers that everyone should remember.
Happy 4th ya filthy animals
(Hamilton)
Washington: I ordered you to stand down!
Hamilton: I did… but then I fell back up again!
New York World’s Fair

Pretty sure George Washington was the biggest sculpture at the fair. Look at the second picture and for scale check on the person sitting at the base. This sculpture stood at a the end of a huge reflection pool, which was lit up at night, and backed by the Trylon and Perisphere.

Your Character is Written into Your Handwriting
We stumbled across these bright, and interesting charts calling forth from a box of equity case files. As with most things archival, looking into the history of these records, opened a fabulous rabbit hole that we were happy to travel down!
Graphology! That is the name of the game. Graphology is the self-proclaimed science which analyzes handwriting for personality traits. These particular charts were part of two court cases in which A. Dolph Dean, Graphologist was asserting his 1932 copyright for his chart, “Character is Written into Handwriting and With this Chart You Can Read It.”
A. Dolph Dean, C. Ellsworth Bower, and Professor John W. Burke of the Personality Analysis Guild were not the only promoters of the value of graphology (at the rates of 10-50 cents per review - $1.50-$8.00 in today’s money). California newspapers were in the game as well:
The Los Angeles Times’ Muriel Stafford, provided graphological assistance with love matches, and to determine levels of culture and taste, in addition to analyzing the handwriting of everyone from George Washington (declared to be a stubborn humorist) to Bing Crosby (declared to be magnetic and easy-going). At one point, she proclaimed Los Angeles a warm-hearted, affectionate, generous city based on the handwriting of the Angelinos who wrote to her.

During the Civil War, Washington was often invoked by Unionists to “bless” their cause. Here, his image appears on both sides of a 6.5" copper powder flask, flanked by laurel and olive branches, beneath a draped American flag and Phrygian or Liberty Cap.

I was listening to From Now On from The Greatest Showman and saw this comment
Has anyone else noticed that in Helpless the part where Eliza sings “Yes mummy, that boy is mine” and in Burn where she sings “With only the memories of when you were mine”
THERE IS A STRONG EMPHASIS ON “mine” IN BOTH SONGS AND ELIZA HOLDS THE NOTE FOR A LONG TIME!!!!
The first time when she fell in love with Alexander and the second time when he broke her heart.
so

Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)- when you knock me down I get the fuck back up again
What Comes Next- you cheat with the French/ now I’m fighting with France and with Spain
Dear Theodosia- when you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
Non-Stop-Burr, we studied and we fought and we killed/ for the notion of a nation that we now get to build
In 1780, in recognition of the Irish struggle for independence from the British Crown, George Washington granted his Continental Army soldiers a holiday. He then consumed two pints of corn liquor, beat the hell out of his entire staff, puked on Betsy Ross, and passed out naked in front of his tent, all because he understood the true spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.
It’sPresidents’ Day!
Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. It was originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington. It is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and president. Learn more: http://bit.ly/2kBlUNj
