Esther Cleveland, daughter of President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland, was born in the White House on this date in 1893.
After vomiting a little in its collective mouth, the nation celebrated the birth with unprecedented joy.
Though the country would remain mired in economic inequality and class warfare for decades to come, for one brief shining moment, the birth of little Esther united an entire nation around one powerful and undeniable truth. That if Grover Cleveland can get laid in America, then anybody can get laid in America.
