One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song? These are always amusing. Two homicidal politicians and a poet. Whitman grew up in an uncritically Jacksonian family and started his career as something of a Democratic hack newspaperman that responded predictably when the Democrats led the country into a war of conquest.
