    If you really think John Adams is dumb, then why are you on this webdite? You could of easily clicked off the page, and leave. But no, you rather make a big scene about it. And if you really thought he was so ugly, then you must of been interested in the article, or else you wouldn't of left a comment.

    The article is clearly about John Adams, not Samuel Adams. You can find images of Samuel Adams here: http://images.google.com/images?q=samuel%20adams&sourceid=mozilla2&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
    (I cannot link in comments)
    Or just search for Samuel Adams in Google images.
