Time to redesign the $10 bill--who should be the new face?

Gotta be dead?
Whitney Houston of course...............pre-crack picture though

I am surprised that King Barack hasn't penned an exec order mandating that the person can be a living female, and that his wife be the one selected.

I bet Hillary would like to have her face on the front of a $10 bill. If Bill Clinton had his way, it would just show the back of Monica's head.

This reminds me of an e-mail warning I got from a friend. The warning was, "If you receive an e-mail with the subject "Nude Pictures of Sarah Palin" don't open it, it may contain a virus. If you receive an e-mail with the subject "Nude Pictures of Hillary Clinton" don't open it, it may contain nude pictures of Hillary Clinton!

Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Davy Crockett, John Paul Jones, Tubman, F. Douglass, Caesar Chavez, Attucks, Lewis/Clark (double portrait)

What he said above... they should be required to have .... NARDS!

And yes, Tubman qualifies ... But Not Hanoi Jane...sic!

Except for the "has to be dead thing" I'd choose Sarah Palin because the whole thing is a stupid, politically-correct travesty, and for the people who want to see it done, I can't think of anyone more likely to **** them off.

There are at least some reports claiming that Harriet Tubman has already been decided upon, she certainly wouldn't be a surprising pick and at least wouldn't be as controversial as someone from recent times that is more closely tied to modern politics.

I love this part from the Wikipedia article on her:

"Tubman also carried a revolver, and was not afraid to use it. The gun afforded some protection from the ever-present slave catchers and their dogs, however she also purportedly threatened to shoot any escaped slave who tried to turn back on the journey since that would threaten the safety of the remaining group. Tubman told the tale of one man who insisted he was going to go back to the plantation when morale got low among a group of fugitive slaves. She pointed the gun at his head and said, "You go on or die." Several days later, he was with the group as they entered the United Province of Canada."

Imagine that, an advocate for open-carry on our currency!

I do not think any change in portrait should be made. Why spend the money for no real benefit? I have an Idea! How about government leaders concentrate on being responsible in running the country so that the $10 bill does not become any less valuable than it is.

People older than me know more about this, but there has been a drastic change in the value of money just in my short life. In the early 1970's a $6500 annual salary would buy a decent rental house, a new Ford compact with a TWO year payment book, JC Penny's suits to wear to work and still have a little money to go bowling with the guys. How much would that quality of life cost today?

I have check stubs from an older family member that shows take home pay at 95% of gross income. Currently, a person is lucky to see 70% take home that once it gets home pays property, sales, road, and multiple other taxes. And heaven help you if your investments actually make some profit.

So it seems it's time to change the $10 bill design and they believe it's time to put a woman's portrait on it.

I hereby nominate Miley Cyrus...you know, since our currency has been devalued and is so cheap--just like much of our culture. Seems fitting to me.

Why does it have to be a face? People seem to be more interested in a certain part of Kim Kardashian's physique than some stuffy white guy in a wig.
