Chicana on the Edge

Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004

Comeback

I KNEW IT. I should have posted my prediction that Clinton would pull off Texas and Ohio and the marathon slugfest would continue.

I’d like to point out that with the exception of Monroe and Coolidge, there has never been an American president whose last name ended in a vowel, and “Monroe” and “Coolidge” really just end in a silent “e.” Foreigners have names that end in vowels and weird consonants like “z” (like mine) and we don’t become president. “The Obama Administration?” I don’t think so.

ADDITION TO THIS POST: I am not counting the silent “e” as a true vowel. Nor the consonant “y.”
