Mr. Washington Goes to Mordor
On an estate in Northern Virginia, there lived a hobbit. He lived in the countryside and liked to keep to himself. He was slow to make speeches or draw attention. He loved things that grow and preferred quiet evenings at home to far-away adventures. His name was George Washington. He didn't look like a hobbit, but both he and Frodo Baggins were tasked with a unique mission: to first seize the power from their threat in the east, and then to voluntarily cast it aside.
