    Edith Wilson: managed to convince the country her husband Woodrow was fine despite being paralyzed down half his body from a stroke, and then proceeded to be the defacto President for the remaining 18 months of his term.

    WHY hasn’t a movie been made about her?

      Either as an insightful biopic or a horribly offensive pastiche of Weekend at Bernies. Both would be amazing

      I am so down. Gratuitous shots of feet stepping through the bloodied, broken bodies of their adversaries. Boudicca? More like Toe-dicca.

    At just 17-years-of-age, future first lady Laura Bush killed a classmate in an automobile accident when she ran a stop sign. Truly inspirational.

      Laura did nothing to offend anybody besides marry Shrub. So I’d lay off her on a horrible accident in her teens.

      I would however lay on Elizabeth Banks playing Laura in W. Heyooooo

      Just a morbid joke. Not trying to impugn her character.

      Me too. I can understand women wanting to reclaim it, but as a guy, I make a point to never use it. Same with “the c word.”

    Bessie Coleman was the first black woman to earn a pilot’s license. Because flying schools in the United States denied her entry, she taught herself French and moved to France, earning her license from France’s well-known Caudron Brother’s School of Aviation in just seven months.

    Remember the old days when you would be called a monster (sexist monster, for men) for even suggesting that Taylor Swift was horrible? I’m so glad we’ve come out of those dark times.

      People can call me whatever the fuck they want, but several of Swift’s Christmas covers (Last Christmas, White Christmas, and Santa Baby) are in rotation on the music mix at work and they’re uniformly garbage. She sings as if she learned all the lyrics phonetically and doesn’t understand that they’re words with meanings. She’s astoundingly untalented as a singer. She’s Rebecca Black with a more expensive haircut.

      It seems that we’ve now come full circle, and suggesting Swift is anything other than History’s Greatest Monster makes you a racist scumbag. Indifference to her is apparently morally unacceptable.
