Today, January 8, is the 141st anniversary of the death of the only Emperor of the United States.
"Norton was in his day a respectable merchant, and since he has worn the Imperial purple he has shed no blood, robbed nobody, and despoiled the country of no one, which is more than can be said of any of his fellows in that line." Truly, the ruler we need, but do not deserve.
Make sure to pay your proper due to him next time you belly up to the bar.
