gwax's rumblings

That the United States, at one time, had an Emperor has recently come to my atten­tion. I find it rather inter­est­ing that his­tory books tend to neglect the reign of Emperor Norton I when recount­ing American History. The more I read about this man, the more excep­tional he is, truly a great American and a patriot. I can hon­estly say, with great con­vic­tion that Emperor Norton I is one of my per­sonal heroes.
