| | HAIL TO THE CHIEF, JAMES K. POLK | | We named our new polo after America's 11th President. | | As a boy, James had painful urinary stones removed by Dr. Ephraim McDowell of Danville, Kentucky. | | The operation was a success, but left James sterile which is why he had no children... f*ckin' crazy. | | Polk's presidency was action packed! | | He passed the Walker Tariff Act, which lowered import duties and pacified British public opinion surrounding the Oregon compromise of 1846. | | As President, James K. Polk sent an envoy to Mexico with $20 million to purchase California. | | They weren't interested and instead we went to war with them and took it anyway. | | At the end of his term, James K. was pissed that his favorite room was still called the Lincoln Bedroom. | | James "Polked himself" in that room hundreds of more times than Lincoln ever did and felt more deserving of the name. | | No longer want to receive these emails?
