GoogleGeorge Washington, your legacy lives on. We see you every day on the dollar bill, and we celebrate the fact that you were a prominent member of an alien stoner cult (or if that's not completely accurate, we're nonetheless pleased you were a prominent hemp farmer).
Most of all we celebrate--and miss--your radically constrained view of presidential power.
(This special birthday video clip is from Richard Linklater's 1993 slacker cult classic, DAZED AND CONFUSED.)
