Happy Presidents Day today to Kansas City Irish Fest president Ed Scanlon. Here are a few interesting historical facts about Ed:• He wears a set of false teeth made entirely of ivory salvaged from the keys of the piano at Molloy Bros. Irish Pub.
• He is the first Irish Fest president under 6 feet tall.
• He was born in a log cabin. Or maybe it was a log hospital. Or a regular one. At any rate, when he was born there was a log around there somewhere.
• As Commander in Chief of the Irish Fest armed forces, he once attempted to invade Kansas City, Kansas.
• His face is carved on Mount Rushmore, on the other side, life size. It's kind of hard to find.
• He is fond of asking women in pubs if they'd like to see his "economic stimulus package."
• He is known as "The Old Rail Splitter." Or maybe it's "Old Hickory." It was Old-something, I'm pretty sure of that "old" part anyway.
• He is considered by historians to be one of the three greatest presidents that the Kansas City Irish Fest has ever had, and also to be among the three presidents that the Kansas City Irish Fest has ever had.
Have a great day, your excellency, and happy Presidents Day too to former KCIF President Bob Sullivan and our President-Elect Ed Follis. Oh, and to ex-president me, too.

No comments? Not one of you could come up with an additional historical fact about President Ed??? I'm shocked...and frankly a little disappointed.
Much like an other president he lets his dick cheney do his thinking for him?
He once give a speech so boring that even the plumbing at The Gaf collapsed.
He has been credited with inventing the word "strategery", or was it "Regan-nomics"?
It was trickle down something or another.
The KC Fire Dept once noticed his leadership skills and asked him to join the crew. Once they realized he was in it just for the photo opp, they fired him.
As a child Ed chopped down his father's cherry tree. When his dad asked him if he'd done it he said, "I cannot tell a lie. I chopped down your cherry tree. But I only did it because I thought the TV news crews might come around to cover the story."
I think that the fact that no one commented was comment enough.
Why do you pick on Ed so much? It's no like he's "W".
I think Ed Scanlon is dead sexy.
Closer to dead than sexy.
