...while you are waiting for the correct answer
try a delicious krispy kreme donut!
Bonus hint: He did not play Captain Kirk in the last Star Trek movie
Is that the Ghost Rider in the sky???
ReplyDeleteI really haven't a clue, and I don't wanna Google, so I'll just sit here eating donuts, waiting for the right answer....
ReplyDeleteSave one for me...
ReplyDelete...the cream filled one.
ReplyDeleteJames A. Garfield.
ReplyDeleteI owe that one to Mr. William J. Bennett and his "America: The Last Best Hope."
Does this mean I won the $7,000?
ReplyDeleteJohn, ya got it!
ReplyDeleteJames Garfield, the only president of the U.S. who had been a preacher.
"Mr. Garfield" is the Johnny Cash song and can be found on YouTube.
...unfortunately, no $7,000 was mentioned as a prize...maybe next time!
...have a donut instead.
ReplyDeleteAh, I would have blown it all on donuts anyway...
ReplyDeleteHe was the 20th President of the United States. Too bad they didn't put him on the twenty dollar bill. It would have been easier to remember.
