CommieGIR posted:Was it Grant or Sherman, I forget: I think it was Grant, he showed up to DC just after Lincoln made him commander of the Army, checks into a hotel with his son, and nobody knew who he was. It was Grant, yeah. I wish I wasn't on my phone because I could write pages and pages about him, he was such an endlessly fascinating man - flawed in many ways, but possessive of an utterly rock-hard moral character and innate humility that separates him from almost every other person to hold the office of President-except for, ironically, Lincoln.

Not enough moral character to reign in the unchecked corruption of his administration, of course.

Ogmius815 posted:Not enough moral character to reign in the unchecked corruption of his administration, of course. It can actually be argued that it was because of his own moral character that his administration was so corrupt - because Grant was himself honest, and because he trusted the friends and allies he appointed into high office, he simply could not believe that the men who had served him so ablely during the war were robbing the country blind right in front of his face.

Of course Fonda aint got a motor in the back of her Honda. All Hondas are FWD with front engine. Charitably the NSX is a mid engine, but even then it's badged as an Acura
