Because of Alexander Hamilton Stephens. OK, Alexander Hamilton Stephens isn't related to the hero of this blog tale, Alexander Hamilton. But before he was vice president of the Confederacy or governer of Georgia, the slight Alexander Hamilton Stephens, also known as "Little Aleck," was a congressman from Georgia whom Abe Lincoln (Barack Obama of olden days) once described as "a little, slim, pale-faced, consumptive man [who] just concluded the very best speech of an hour's length I ever heard."
According to www.civilwar.bluegrass.net, "Stephens suffered from angina, bladder stones, colitis, migraine headaches, pneumonia, pruritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and sciatica. Emphasizing with sufferers, he centered his official duties on aiding soldiers in hospitals and prisons."
If you hate arthritis as much as Alexander Hamilton Stephens does, throw a Hamilton-adorned 10-spot at the problem: Visit this website to make your contribution. Every $10 donation helps to assuage the bitter contempt Alexander Hamilton (the real one) holds for rheumatological diseases, even from beyond the grave.
