As an avid bird owner, I have often lamented the fact that “Pirate” is no longer a viable career choice. I dream of tasting the salty sea air, peg-leg firmly wedged into the deck, while my bird rides contentedly on my shoulder.

I offer for your consideration this little seen portrait of James K. Polk. Many people still do not realize that in addition to having death ray eyesight, Polk retired from the presidency to become a pirate.
