Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

If you can’t name all the U.S. presidents in 8 minutes, you’re not a real American

Try this LITTLE EXERCISE from mentalfloss.com. It’s fun.

NOTES:

  • You don’t have to name the presidents in chronological order.
  • As you enter names in the answer box, they’re added to a list in front of you so you can see which presidents you’ve already named.
  • Pay special attention to the rule requiring first names or middle initials for presidents who have the same surnames as others.
  • If you use a cheat sheet, you’re an un-American moron.
