And as long as we’re at McSweeney’s again, here are a couple more lists for your pleasure:

Meow, Mr. President

August 26, 2005 – 9:05 am

Did you know that not once in the history of the United States has there been a cat for President? It’s true. I do a little prowling on the Internets to confirm this. Never one of our serving presidents has ever been a cat. Not even Warren Harding.
