Presidential Trivia Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2009 - 6:34 a.m. Yesterday seems to have been the safe, optimistic celebration that we all wanted. I was right, though; C-SPAN was the best place to find coverage of the Inaguration. Nobody said anything more than about once an hour to let us know what we were seeing, and what was coming up. --- There is something interesting trivia-wise about yesterday, though. Did you know that once a man has been President of the United States of America, he is entitled to be called "Mister President" for the rest of his life? What this means is that if the current and all living former Presidents are ever in a receiving line, you will have to shake their hands and say "Mister President, Mister President, Mister President, Mister President, Mister President." Like that's ever gonna happen to any of us, but now we're all set, in case it ever does. Now, during the Clinton administration, there were, until the day Nixon died, five former presidents still alive. When his terms ended in January of 2001, there were once again five former presidents. Okay, here's totday's trivia question about the Presidents. Aside from George Washington, there has only been one President to have died at a time when there were no former presidents still alive to come see him off. Do you know who it was? I'll post the answer tomorrow. --- Okay, there ya go. Have a good Wednesday. ---
