Today I was eating one of my meals on a placemat that lists all 44 presidents of the United States. It's titled "THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" (as you can imagine) and subtitled "LOS PRESIDENTES DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMERICA" which I thought was fabulous because I celebrate diversity however and whenever I can. Then I was scanning through the 44 los presidentes, and I realized they only put their names in English, so I started translating their names to the Spanish counterparts. Because it was cool. I mean, how badass does Juanito Quincy Adams sound? Or Geraldo S. Truman? Come on, you have to feel me on this one:

Jorge Washington
Jaime Madison
Stefano Grover Cleveland
Guillermo Jefferson Clinton
Reynaldo Reagan
Andres Jackson
Francisco Delano Roosevelt
Ricardo Milhous Nixon


I'm missing some accents here (such as the "e" in Andres) because I don't know how to do it yet on my laptop. But you get the drift. These names are pimpin', yo.
