The other day, I told President Benjamin Harrison what I think of him. And now I’ll put it to you, readers — for what wild and zany reason would I be angry with a guy who was President almost 120 years ago and who’s been dead for at least a century? What did President Harrison do to piss me off? Let me know, because I’ve been wondering myself!

I would guess that is had to do with Victorian facial hair but you seem to have no issues with that. It's the three names. That has got to be it. Most of your serial killers have three names and to have a serial killer become President would chafe my nuts too.
Let's see… could it have something to do with sugar? Or maybe you were licking stamps on President's Day?
Ok my take is, I think it was because Benjamin Harrison was the last president with a beard. Or for more of a political issue, he was the president to separate Grover Cleveland's two terms.
I was thinking about the fact that he helped create Grover Cleveland 22 and 24. Or maybe it was nepotism (Old Tippicanoe was granddad.)
