When he was President one summer he spent a month fishing in Northern Wisconsin. The nearest phone was 20 miles a way in a High School.

What a different world that was.

Ronald Reagan admired Calvin Coolidge. That alone speaks volumes about one of our most Conservative presidents. This 1924 video is still inspirational, as not-so-silent Cal explains the benefits of very limited government.

There’s a funny story about Coolidge (as I recall reading): he was at some White House dinner party. Gal #1 bet Gal #2 that Coolidge would not say three words. Gal #2 went up to Cal and told him about the bet, hoping he’d help her win. “You lose,” said the President.

Mandell House, Father of the Federal Reserve, practically lived in the White House and influenced everything Coolidge did.
