A visitor to Monticello once noticed that Thomas Jefferson had placed a bust of Hamilton, his arch-nemesis, directly across from a portrait of himself. The visitor commented on this to the old patriarch, who smiled and said, "Ah yes. We are just as opposite in death as we were in life."

Pope Charming: I have deleted the entry in which I mocked your apology and I apologize for so doing. Possibly in later years we will be like Adams and Jefferson of old, crusty elderly gents writing letters about politics back and forth. I'm sure I hope we are.
