Which president invited a known terrorist to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom?

Benedict wrote:What two Presidents died on the same day? And what other President died 5 years later?

John Adams and Thom Jefferson died on July 4, 1826 (see my question below). Adams declared on his deathbed, "Jefferson lives," but actually Jefferson had died hours earlier. James Monroe died on July 4, 1831. Weird.

Q: which President of the first half of the 20th century (1900-1950) turned down his presidential salary?

(There may have been others at other times who did this, but I was surprised to read of this man doing this.)

Clinton and Arafat

I am guessing the Terrorist host would have been Reagan. Saddam and he were tight, curiously enough while he was killing off some of his citizens of Iraq.

W for sure had the big DUI and did a bit of coke back in the day also.

The question of the day is "who wizzed out the back window".

As a homeowner, one of the greatest joys in life is to walk out into the backyard in the dark and take a leak. Why you ask? Because you can.

The day that I pay off the mortgage I am going to drink one good shot of Kentucky whiskey and go out in the backyard for some jumping jacks butt naked with my wife in tow.
