Oh captian, my captian!

Orinally a poem post Civil War that makes a metaphor comparing Lincoln to a captian of a boat who dies at the end, the phrase became famous from the 1989 movie "The Dead Poet Society" staring Robin Williams. The whole point of the phrase is that William's character was an English teacher who had his student's address him with that phrase while standing on their desks.
Good morning oh captian, my captian!

American Samoa

A small group of islands in the Pacific aquired by American in a pact with Germany. No one really knows exactly where it is, who lives there, what language the locals origanlly spoke before we showed up or that the capital is Pago Pago. The only time anyone pays attention to it is when some one is doing a special on sweat shops because apparently that's what drives it's economy.

Bull Moose Party

The most successful third party in American History. It was headed by Tedd Roosevelt fresh of his African Safari and was completely based of his candidacy of the 1912 Presidental election. The whole purpose was to get rid of President Taft after TR realized that he sucked as a president. Bull Moose split the Republican vote and allowed Dem. Woodrow Wilson to win the election. The Party died with TR in 1919.
More states voted Bull Moose than voted Republican.
