Changing your USAir flight from Wednesday to Tuesday will run you $150 plus $187 price difference. I did the math... that comes out to $337 dollars. United States Dollars. Three Benjamins, One Jackson, One Hamilton, One Lincoln and one Jefferson. Why not use the Jefferson? Interesting how out of the five faces on my choice of bills, two were not presidents. Is that interesting? Well, I thought it worth noting and it sets the stage for the thought-provoking/mind-numbing text to follow, so my advice is this: embrace it.
Think any non-presidents of today will be pictured on any currency two-hundred years from now? I don't. Think any presidents of today will be used? I don't. We're far too nostalgic for that. I think coins should be used for some more widespread face time. Eisenhower? Really. He gets a the dollar coin and FDR is the exclusive face of the dime? And what's the deal with Lincoln... (insert stand-up voice of Jerry Seinfeld) he gets a coin and a bill? Washington as well. Let's get new faces on our pennies and other coins every year. Slap every president's visage that hasn't been on any money to date onto the lucky side of the penny. William Henry Harrison... congratulations, you're a penny. Taft. Polk. People are really into Polk these days. Make that man a dime. America demands change for our change. Well, America doesn't so much demand it, more like, an American has gently suggested the possibility. It's an issue about which I care very little. Won't you join my cause?Sleepy. Long days and short nights. Sleepy.
