Washington’s birthday

Lest we forget (well lest I forget anyway) – this from the Mark Cook poem, “To Capitalize the Ungodly,” over at The Writers Almanac:

Remember that painting, that Gilbert Stuart painting of Washington?
Sure you remember that thing, everybody does, the really famous one–
Seriously, I used to like that picture a lot, But then I realized that everything Stuart ever did looked like Washington.
I saw this self-portrait Stuart made of himself– It looked exactly like Washington.
