August 2, 1923 –
President Warren G. Harding died suddenly at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on this date. His wife Florence forbids an autopsy, and the President’s body is embalmed shortly after death. It is speculated by many that the cause of death, initially reported as “a stroke of apoplexy,” was in fact poison administered by the First Lady. Mrs. Harding was rather annoyed that her husband was taking dictation from his secretary in the broom closet.
You have to love this asshole – he actually lost the White House china in a poker game. And despite the fact that Prohibition made it illegal, Harding served his friends alcohol.
Harding had the largest feet of any U.S. President. He wore size 14 shoes. I’ll just leave you all with that.
Make of it what you will.
And so it goes
