Here’s my challenge to Agitator readers, bloggers, and others: In this comments thread, let’s compile a [...]

From FDR to Jimmy Carter, when the President settled in behind his desk in the Oval Office, he settled into a Gunlocke Washington chair.
For as low as $3000, would-be world leaders can also place their rear in the Gunlocke chair. It doesn’t really appear to give enough lower-back support for an infirm old man [...]
