Last night I came across some interesting information that I wanted to share. It’s the presidential rankings of every United States President so far and they are ranked from 1-42.

You can see the best president ever, which is apparently Abraham Lincoln, and the worst president ever, which is apparently James Buchanan.

Here are the top ten best presidents ever:

1) Abraham Lincoln
2) George Washington
3) Franklin D. Roosevelt
4) Theodore Roosevelt
5) Harry S. Truman
6) John F. Kennedy
7) Thomas Jefferson
8) Dwight D. Eisenhower
9) Woodrow Wilson
10) Ronald Reagan

Here are the top ten worst presidents ever:

42) James Buchanan – Biggest loser!
41) Andrew Johnson
40) Franklin D. Pierce
39) William Henry Harrison
38) Warren G. Harding
37) Millard Fillmore
36) George W. Bush
35) John Tyler
34) Herbert Hoover
33) Rutherford B. Hayes

You can see the full presidential rankings here.

I thought this information was very interesting and thought maybe you would also like to know the presidential rankings too. Do you agree with the list? Who would you say is the worst president ever? How about the best president ever?

Planning a trip soon and staying in a hotel? Well, make you don’t stay at one of the Dirtiest Hotels in America. According to Trip Advisor here are the top 10 dirtiest hotels in the United States for 2009.

1. Hotel Carter – New York City, New York
2. Continental Bayside Hotel – Miami Beach, Florida
3. New York Inn – New York City, New York
4. Eden Roc Motel – Wildwood, New Jersey
5. Days Inn Cleveland Airport – Brook Park, Ohio
6. Days Inn Airport / Stadium Tampa – Tampa, Florida
7. Travelodge Bangor – Bangor, Maine
8. Velda Rose Resort Hotel – Hot Springs, Arkansas
9. Ramada Plaza Hotel JFK International Airport – Jamaica, New York
10. Days Inn & Suites Gatlinburg – Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Apparently those are some very dirty hotels, so it’s probably best to stay away from them if you will be in any of the areas.

And it looks like the big dogs at the Days Inn corporate headquarters might need to make some changes since three of their hotels are in the top ten dirtiest hotels in America.

Everyone knows that the President of the United States lives in the White House but we often forget that the Vice President has to live somewhere too. Most people probably assume the Vice President also lives in the White House but he doesn’t. The Vice President has his own house.

So, where does the Vice President Live?

The Vice President of the United States lives in a house on the corner of 34th Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Washington DC. The house is located on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory and was built in 1893 for the Superintendent of the Observatory.

The vice president’s house is a three-story, white-painted brick, Victorian-style home with 9,150 square feet of floor space. It used to be where the chief of the Naval Observatory would live and that is why people often call it the Admiral’s House.

In 1974, Congress designated the house as the official residence for Vice Presidents. Before that the Vice President lived in temporary houses and hotels in Washington DC.

Gerald and Betty Ford were the first family eligible to live in the house but the Richard Nixon resigned before renovations on the house were completed, and the Fords moved to the White House. The first full-time residents were Walter Mondale (Jimmy Carter’s vice president) and his wife in 1977. Since then every Vice President has live in the house.

There, now you know where the Vice President of the United States lives!

I was just researching “How To” keywords to see what information people are seeking for how to do things and I noticed something that I simply could not ignore…

One of the most searched for “how to” keyword phrases is “How to Kill a Fetus at Home” which was quite surprising to me. According to the wordtracker free keyword suggestion tool, How to Kill a Fetus at Home is searched for almost 50,000 times per month.

Yes, you read the last paragraph correctly, “How to Kill a Fetus at Home” is searched for over 1600 times every single day! Since there are so many people searching for it, I figured I might as well be the one who tells them how to do it. So, keep reading if you want to learn how to kill a fetus at home. I am sure there are a lot of different methods you can use to kill a fetus at home but only one works every time.

My guess is that most of those searches are from teen girls who got pregnant accidentally and don’t want their parents or anyone else to know so they are desperately trying to find a way to get rid of it themselves before anyone finds out. And they don’t have any money or are afraid to go to a real doctor. This leads them to searching online for how to kill a fetus at home. Some of the searches are probably also from the teen boys who got the girl pregnant and want to find the information out for the same reasons. It’s actually really sad!

If you are reading this and you really are searching for information on how to kill a fetus at home, ask yourself these questions right now… Is killing the fetus at home really your best option? How much trouble can you possibly get in from your parents that would make you do such a thing? Are you willing to risk the very high possibility that something will go wrong? Did you know there are ways to have a professional do this without anyone knowing and it won’t cost you anything? Do you want to live the rest of your life knowing you did something like this? Are you aware of the possible legal issues involved with this if someone finds out? Could you actually go through with it? Seems to me like it’s just not worth trying!

Oh and in case you are wondering, I am not really going to tell you how to kill a fetus at home. First of all, I don’t have a clue how to do it and I don’t want to know. And even if I did know how I wouldn’t post it on a blog or tell anyone how to do it. Personally I don’t think anyone should learn how to kill a fetus at home. It sounds to me like that information isn’t something that anyone should know.

So, how do you do it?

The best advice you will probably get on how to kill a fetus at home is to go to a doctor and don’t do it at home!

Many people are looking for those perfect Thanksgiving turkey recipes so they can know how to cook a turkey for their upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. Since we are so close to the wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and I can’t wait to eat that nice dinner with lots of turkey, I decided to post some turkey recipes for you today.

The Best Ugly Turkey Recipe:

This is probably the easiest turkey you will ever make and it tastes great.

Preparation Time:  25 Minutes 
Cooking Time:  14 Hours

Ingredients:
1 (12 pound) whole turkey with neck and giblets removed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 apple – peeled, cored and cubed

Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil and salt all over the bird. Place the apple pieces inside of the cavity. Place the turkey breast side down in a large roasting pan.

2) Roast for 3 hours in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven and carefully turn the bird so the breast side is facing up. Return to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh has reached 180 degrees. Allow the turkey to sit for about 30 minutes before carving and serving.

Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe:

Preparation Time:  20 Minutes 
Cook Time:  3 Hours 

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons ground dried rosemary
2 tablespoons rubbed dried sage
2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 (15 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 orange, cut into wedges
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (750 milliliter) bottle champagne

Directions:
1) Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a turkey roaster with long sheets of aluminum foil that will be long enough to wrap over the turkey.

2) Stir together the parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture into the cavity of the turkey, then stuff with the celery, orange, onion, and carrot. Truss if desired, and place the turkey into the roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth and champagne over the turkey, making sure to get some champagne in the cavity. Bring the aluminum foil over the top of the turkey, and seal. Try to keep the foil from touching the skin of the turkey breast or legs.

3) Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Uncover the turkey, and continue baking until the skin turns golden brown, 30 minutes to 1 hour longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Alright, now you have two simple Thanksgiving turkey recipes and you definitely know how to cook a turkey. Enjoy your dinner!
