Every four years Americans go to the polls to elect a leader, someone serious, distinguished, respectable, with perfect sobriety and moral standing who will serve as a paragon for the rest of us.

Crazy Jack: Many prominent leaders were absolutely convinced that John Adams was stark raving bonkers!
Oval Office Oddities is jam-packed with amusing anecdotes and offbeat information presented in a way that makes our nation’s history accessible, relevant, and entertaining.
