Tidbits from State of the Union history

☆ The first State of the Union was, delivered by Number 1, George Washington, was only 833 words, lasting under 10 minutes. Any bets on tonight's Biden performance?

☆ Two presidents gave no State of the Union addresses: William Henry Harrison and James Garfield. Harrison died of illness only 31 days after his inauguration, and Garfield was assassinated 6 months after his inauguration. What are we mortals to make of this message from the gods? 😉
