  • p 1-10

    George washington, and how he had dentures, may have been infertile, and spent 7% of his salary on drink and leopard skin blankets.
  • p11-82

    Covering the rise of the Republican and Democratic Parties, which were totally flipped from the way that they are now (Republicans being the more liberal of the bunch). Also covering the turmoil that was the precurser to the Civil War, including Bloody Kansas, the Kansas Nebraska Act, and the Missouri compromise, and what the presidents did. Which would be nothing.
  • p83-183

    Presidents up through Calvin Coolidge, who rarely spoke. Teddy Roosevelt was the first president to call his home the White House, and James Buchannen was probably gay. He had a male roommate and never married, which of course leads to some pretty serious speculation.

    Barack Obama can't bowl to save his life, Richard Nixon (oh, what they had to say about him! The book makes fun of people anyway!), and all of the infidelity that went on during FDR's time (he and approx. 3 mistresses, his wife and a mistress). A good book for laughs.
