Learn from masters of brilliance like: The first female journalist, Anne Royall, who forced an interview with John Quincy Adams by stealing his clothes while he was skinny dipping. Candidate John Lindsay, who released chickens at a speech by his opponent, George Wallace, in order to shame Wallace into a debate. Benjamin Franklin, the originator of phrases like a learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one, and a man who lives on hope, dies farting.
