    <description>History can seem disconnected from your everyday concerns. When was the last time you cared about settling the 49th parallel, deciding whether it was legal to print paper money, or how Hawaii was stolen? Probably never, but that's why you have good friends like Dennis Budde and Aaron Garrett to bring history into the 22nd century and relate the thoroughly insane stories of the United States and the people we foolishly entrust to lead it.

  <description>An episode so chockablock with failures and aspirants they had to break it into two! 
In this first part Dennis and Aaron talk about the rest of the people who didn't quite make it to the presidency from our first election to 1820! When life gets you down remember that no matter how much you fail you'll never fail as big as them. Try not to remember that you probably won't ever accomplish as much as they did to get to that failure either. 
Samuel Huntington, Charles Pinckney, Rufus King, and so many more people you've never heard of are covered in this week's salute to Old Losers!
