I misread your name as William Hovercraft. I hope one day there is a president by that name.

The best vice president was Burr. Cuz he shot that dirty rotten bastard Hamilton.

Hoover's Blanket recreates that famous duel in our next show.

"Rivals" plays December 21 in Thursday Night Awesome with the truth about what happened on that fateful day in Weehawken, New Jersey.

The truth is out there.

Um, Mr. Taft I have to disagree with you. Anyone who spurned the office of President in order to become a Supreme Court Justice must not have what it taked for the job.

I called Mr. Roosevelt and asked him about you, and this is what he had to say:

"You tell old butterass that he was nowhere half as good as a President as I was. I charged up San Juan Hill; all he did was get his bulging posterior stuck in his tub. Oh, and if he still isn't convinced, ask him if his likeness is on Mt. Rushmore. I thought so. "

True facts:

I am a descendant of William Henry Harrison.

William Hovercraft was so fat he once got stuck in the White House tub.

The worst portrayal of a president in a Hollywood movie was the Reagan presidency.

my mom did some research into her side of the family and found that she was qualified to join Daughters of the American Revolution, of which she is now a member. Apparently there's one dude who can be linked to the mayflower, another that had something to do with founding yorktown. I have no idea how she proved any of this, but it's still kind of cool.

Anyone else with o.g. american blood?

My great great great great something grandfather Gillis was apparently a fife player in the revolutionary war. I don't have a certificate or anything though.

o.g. texas, baby. my family's been here since before it was the U.S. relatives in the alamo, and i can trace an ancestor back to being Mary Todd Lincoln's first cousin. If anyone wants to read the family history report I wrote for a college class, I'd be happy to dig it up for you.

I can trace our American bloodline back to the late 1720s/early 1730s for sure, but then the records get spotty. There's some evidence of a branch going back into the 1600's, though. It seems to be largely the same on both sides of the family.

I'm related to Clark of "Lewis and" fame.

I love my Scottish side, but when people ask "are you Scottish?" I have to say "not for a very long time."

My mom's maiden name is Tweed.

She's related to Boss tweed.

I may not be O.G. American, but I'm definitely original gangster, motherfuckaz!

my only family heritage of note is that I'm decendant from Charles Carrol, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. Carroltown, Maryland is also named after that side of the family. He was apparently the longest surviving founding father and at one point the wealthiest man in America. His proud genes have been diluted over the centuries to result in a more humble human form known as me.
