Something in the spirit of Monday

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were good friends but political enemies. They both died on the same day, July 4th 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence.

Jefferson Dies 5 hours earlier, Adams Dieing words "Thomas Jefferson still survives"

You talk about bitter and mud throwing campaigns the election of 1800 makes todays mud throwing look like child's play.

Also as Vice prez under Adams Jefferson left Washington to go home disgusted with the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 among other things

Although you have lots of motors (electric) in your car, you have only one engine (not electric) and that engine should not be referred to as a motor.

That's a valid statement. But then why is racing cars called motorsport and not enginesport? :P
