William Jennings Bryan

A famous American orator, and three-time Democratic nominee for President. He never became President, but he dodged a bullet (literally) when he lost the 1900 election, as McKinley was assassinated one year later while shaking citizen's hands at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. His 1896 "Cross of Gold" speech is his most famous speech, and probably the most quoted of his orations. Unfortunately, Bryan is remembered not for his political campaigns (he ran an anti-imperialist campaign against McKinley in 1900, and McKinley is now considered one of the most imperialistic presidents in all of American history), nor most of his orations, but the Scopes trial, in which he condemned a teacher who taught evolution in a Tennessee school. Now most commonly cited as an example of ignorant fundamentalist Christians by those who don't understand how the past actually worked. Historians, however, (including a SOCIALIST, Richard Hofstadter) have stated that it is a cruel, misconstrued view of an individual who had simply outlived his time.

Joe: " I just got a silver filling in my tooth. Damn, it hurts, but I do look pretty badass now.
Bob: "Haha, I have a gold filling."
Joe: "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!"
Bob: "Who's that quote from?"
Joe: "William Jennings Bryan."
Bob: "Wow. I have no idea who that is. You're smart."
Joe: "Thanks, William Jennings Bryan, posterboy for obscure historical figures!"

Jenning

To completely lose your mind over absolutely nothing in ten seconds or less. Process in which you blame all problems you have or ever will have on the closest available person or the person you think of first.

woman: "You're a cheating bastard!"

man "It's mother's day and I was with my mom!"
woman: "You've ruined my life and turned all of my friends against me!"
man: "Quit Jenning on me."

Jennings Sanders

Jennings is very hard on the outside. He does not tend to allow others easily into his life, and chooses his friends wisely. He is very smart, handsome, and above all charming. He is very well mannered and educated. He is driven in life, with great passion and endurance. Although he may not know this, he brightens the lives of many. Jennings should feel very proud of who he has become, and know that he will do amazing things in life.

Friend: How's life going?
Me: It's going great! I have a boyfriend now, his name is Jennings.
Friend: I thought you had given up on love.
Me: He's worth the fall.
I love you Jennings Sanders❤

mason jennings

Singer/songwriter from Minnesota with a Dylanesque singing style and folk-influenced acoustic guitar style. Writes real music without any corporate overproduction bullshit. Not very mainstream, but has a large following anyways.

Dude, I just saw Mason Jennings in concert, he was awesome.
