I'll Grant you this

The snazzy and colorful new $50 bill hits the streets today.

And if you're packing enough geedus that you know firsthand what a fifty looks like...God bless you.

Am I the only one who finds it peculiar that a man generally considered by historians one of our lesser Presidential lights, Ulysses S. Grant, rates the portrait spot on the fifty? Since they were going to redesign the thing anyway, surely the U.S. Mint could have found a more deserving subject.
