"The history of our Revolution will be one continuous lie from one end to the other. The Essence of the whole will be that Doctor Franklin's electrical rod smote the earth and out sprang General Washington. Then Franklin electrified him with his rod and thence-forth these two conducted all the policies, negotiations, legislatures, and war."
-- John Adams
