Opaque Lucidity

Good Job, George

Forensic archaeologists have been able to reconstruct what Martha Washington probably looked like in her 20's:

Damn! You may not know this, but Martha was married before George came along. Her husband died, leaving her with four children and a considerable fortune. The next year, she married young, studly and fairly wealthy George Washington. She was 28, so she probably looked a lot like she does in the picture. Yowza!

George and Martha had no children together. There's something magical about the man who is considered the father of our nation leaving no biological children behind. I've always thought there was some divine intervention in that---as if we are all his children through our citizenship. Yeah, corny. Got it.
