And Now a Factual Documentary About George Washington

I found this on the Internet, so, of course, it must be true.

Washington wasn't the only badass president.

And some people think that Alexander Hamilton was a president. Groupon issued an advertisement honoring Hamilton for President's day, and when someone wrote to say Hamilton wasn't, in fact, ever a president (or even a candidate for the office), Groupon responded:

We respect everyone's beliefs. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

A nice mantra to live by, except when... it makes no sense whatsoever.

Update: Groupon's kidding. Ah okay. It's still funny, but now it's deliberately funny.

Open Thread.
