You know you’ve condemned your child to a lifetime of endless badassery, when you name him Ulysses. 

Some quick facts about Ulysses S. Grant:

  • He was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio.
  • He is widely regarded as a military genius.
  • He basically won the American Civil War as a General and helped stabilize the country afterwards in his two terms as president.
  • He won passage of and helped enforce the 15th amendment.
  • He effectively destroyed the Ku Klux Klan (Yes, it came back, but not until decades later).
  • His face is on the $50.
  • He had a proper presidential beard.

I wonder what he’s doing now…
