Subject: Happy! - Aug 10 (Herb Hoover) From: Abby Sale Date: 10 Aug 05 - 10:05 AM Happy Birthday! Herb Hoover engineer, humanitarian, and 31st president, was born 8/10/1874 (died 1964) Hoover had the misfortune of serving as US President 1929-1933, and thus has been unfairly blamed for getting the country into the world wide Great Depression. Folk singers have done their share to help the myth-making process along.

Subject: RE: Happy! - Aug 10 (Herb Hoover) From: Le Scaramouche Date: 10 Aug 05 - 04:07 PM Mad magazine (when it was still funny) said the Herbert Hoover promised Americans 'a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.' What he forgot to mention was that few Americans would have pots or garages... Innacurate, but hilarious. |
