What happens when a president gets elected in a year with
a "0" at the end?Also notice it goes in increments of 20 years And
LOOK! last year is where it lands!
1840: William Henry Harrison (Died in Office)
1860: Abraham Lincoln (Assassinated)
1880: James A. Garfield (Assassinated)
1900: William McKinley (Assassinated)
1920: Warren G. Harding (Died in Office)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Died in Office)
1960: John F. Kennedy (Assassinated)
1980: Ronald Reagan (Survived Assassination Attempt)
2000:
And to think that we had 2 guys duking it out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000
You might be interested in this.
Have a history teacher explain this ---- If they can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by Ford
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker:
A week before Lincoln was shot, he visited Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he visited Marilyn Monroe.
Creepy, huh?
Interesting, CRvic

Odd. Interesting to say the least. Guess we don't have anyone in Canada with enough "testicular fortitude" to try to assissinate the Prime Minister. Instead we just bitch about him. :)

That makes you think WAY too much! Isn't it interesting how some # just seems to work out that way. For the life of me I can't quite remember where I read it but dealing with the date of your birth and adding #'s can supposedly dictate important dates for the rest of your life....who knows though.

crownvic, very cool post. I've always heard that history repeats its self. I just didn't realize to that extent.

Getting off the topic a little if the "curse" of being elected in a year ending in zero holds true, then Bush needs to watch who he pisses off. Yesterday he refused to put a cap on the energy billing increases in California. I think he is just looking out for his rich oil buddies in Texas. Now the Cali. govenor is suing the federal government. Anyway before I started rambling the point I was getting too was that if he isn't careful some crazy Cali. just might put a cap in him.
