You probably would enjoy, or like to share, a Bicentennial of the Constitution book, originally published back in 1987 entitled "Our Ageless Constitution." It can be found here.

“There was a running back that signed with Auburn over Clemson because Clemson did not have a Chick-Fil-A.”
WTF!!? There are Chick Fil-A’s all over South Carolina!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
