RE: Women on US currency –Some comments on your news story about putting a female on the $20 bill

Ms Ohlmeiser,

You are right on one point.

Andrew Jackson must go. He ran the second dirtiest campaign in American History. The fact that he did it before electricity makes it worse. Plus, he was an economic illiterate who killed Native Americans for sport.

As to who will replace him…

Is it a requirement that she be an American citizen?

Antigone, Boedacia, Elizabeth the First, Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher inter alia leap to mind.

I suggest 2 of your potential honorees be disqualified for cause.

#1 – Rachel Carson – She was a pseudo-scientist who made Lysenko look like your high school biology teacher rather than the wing-nut moon bat that he was. Her writings led to the banning of DDT, a political act that has had 45 years of carnage attached to it. Not only did we ban its manufacture here we banned its licensing for foreign manufacture. There is one non-contestable fact attached to the ban. It may or may not have helped voracious raptors; The jury is still out on that. DDT killed mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carry malaria. Malaria kills 2,000,000 – that’s 2 million – sub-Saharan Black babies a year. Every year. If that’s not genocide what, pray tell, is?

#2 – Margaret Sanger is the Pro-Death feminist who believed in 4^th trimester abortion, in involuntary abortion and sterilization [Buck v Bell], and selective breeding. Her views on race were such that Hitler used them as the basis for his 1934 Nuremberg race laws.

They both should be exhumed and flogged. They should then be returned to an enclosed concrete rebar-lined sarcophagus surrounded by 24 hour armed guards with bayonets pointing in.

If Barack Obama can win a Nobel Prize for just showing up why not put Hillary Clinton on the new $20 bill? She looks like an overweight aging hooker looking for $20 tips anyway. Plus she could sell her autographed 20 for 50. 

Wait a minute.

Isn’t that what her husband, Handsome Billy from Hot Springs and her daughter Chelsea, a chick well one her way to being a role model for layabout dilettantes, do with their foundation anyway?

Come to think of it, Andy Jackson doesn’t look that bad, does he?

He announced what he was going to do and he did it. He didn’t try to sugar coat or white wash it. Indeed, an admirable trait for a politician from any age.
