Q. How many Democrats in Congress voted to abolish slavery? 127 95 34 0 Is that right, that no Dems voted for the 13th Amendment? I thought a few (very few) voted for the 13th Amendment, but none voted for the 14th.

Which archaeological site was discovered by a future Republican U.S. Senator? A. Peru's Machu Picchu, one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in the world, was discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, who was later elected Governor (R-CT) and Senator.

FWIW - My grandfather was a friend of Hiram Bingham and was on the 1915 expedition as medical doctor and anthropologist.

Q. How many current Republicans in the House and Senate actually have a pair of balls?

A. Not very damn many [except for some of the ones looking to get elected that you might say have a figurative pair of big ones]
