John J, re your favorite president, Calvin Coolidge certainly has my favorite and the all-time coolest presidential grave site: I wrote about it here a couple of Presidents’ Days back. It’s the ideal of the citizen-president, and a useful corrective to the neo-monarchical prostrations of Henrietta Hughes et al.

Let us also not forget the words of Cole Porter, written in 1934:

You’re The Top!
You’re an Arrow collar!
You’re The Top!
You’re a Coolidge dollar!

That rings better than ever in an age when the political class regards anything with less than 12 zeroes as chump change.
