On further research Mencken’s words have been removed

There was a quote on this blog for today’s post from HL Mencken (1880 - 1956) writing for the Baltimore Evening Sun on Sunday, 26 July, 1920, where he said that one day the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

On further research it turns out this man made objectionable comments on many issues; he was clearly an anti-semite, hence the post has been removed.
