A quick toast to polymath Thomas Jefferson, born April 13th 1743 (sorry Tom - I'm a few hours late). To my mind, probably the most utterly fascinating character (with the possible exception of Thomas Paine) in early American history.
Discuss or raise a glass, as you please...
If your humor is such, put a little brown sugar in that drink.

I will admit that I did not think this was about that particular TJ, this being an improv forum and all, but I salute him nonetheless.

Yeah, well, next time I'll try to stay more in line. Maybe just type "Ka-cah" or something.
Kidding, Sara.

Everytime I think of Thomas Jefferson now, I think of 30 Rock, when Tracy Jordan plays Jefferson in his self-made movie. Hilarious! However, I'm not discounting the accomplishments of TJ. He was quite the renaissance man...

Wouldn't you say the Enlightenment was a re-awakening of Renaissance-era principles and values?

After the Louisiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson kept caged bears on the White House lawn.
Nuff said.
