Winner of the Charles Evans Hughes lookalike contest!

[Brett Bellmore]

Kind of reminds me of ALF, actually.

[Syd Henderson]

I always thought it was a shame he lost the presidential race in 1916. Very talented man.

I've always wondered if he would have kept us out of war.

[Cal Cetín]

He would have at least been as good as Wilson on that point. And probably better on others.

[Cal Cetín]

His moustache and beard were too cool to die, so they roam the earth to this day.

[Cal Cetín]

But they never remain long in one place. They're always saying "I'd love to stay, but I moustache."

[Queen Amalthea]

I disagree with Cal quite a bit, but I wish his comments on these 'this day in history' posts would be a regular thing because they often make me laugh. Don't be silent, Cal!

[Dan Schiavetta]

Ha! +1 for funny
