QuoteBut you're sort of right; aparently hawt!! enough to be an accused bigamist (thouth that portrait seem to give the lie to that)

uh that wiki article says he killed charles dickinson while i realize its not the same one i first thought of its still kinda funny.

Who's the other Charles Dickinson?

Holy crap, he WAS a badass president. When do we get to see that movie?

The didn't call him "Action" Andrew Jackson for nothing ;)

This is what I keep telling people! We need a movie about a time travelling Lincoln fighting a time travalling Jackson! They can even have teams. Hypatia, Mark Twain, Abu Yusuf, and Machiavelli on Lincoln's team; Poe, Anne Bonny, Caligula, and Machiavelli on Jackson's team.

Anne Bonny

She needs a film all her own and not one where she;'s portrayed by Jessie Jane.

As the blessed Niccolo would tell you himself: to whomever dresses better than him (Advantage Jackson).

There's some question as to Nick's purpose behind writing the "Prince." Was it a guidebook, or was it something that he hoped would serve as an eye opener?

I based what I said on an actual quote from Machiavelli, he really did say that he bowed to those better dressed than himself (which at the time was an indication of their position)

I think it was to get into Cesare Borgia's pants wasn't it? "ooh Cesare you're the consumate hunk prince"

Moving this even further away from the subject, who WOULD you have lead a team of time travelling historical figures?

I might vote either Churchill or Twain.

Tripe

I'll go with Churchill's ancestor the Duke of Monmouth or Teddy Roosevelt.
