History Buff Can Really Relate To Millard Fillmore

PALATINE, IL—Amateur historian Dean Durand reported Monday that he increasingly finds himself identifying with former President Millard Fillmore. “He was the last president who wasn’t either a Democrat or a Republican, and that’s me,” Durand said. “And I often have intense fights with my wife, a woman I like to think of as my personal Zachary Taylor.” Friends of Durand say he was more fun to spend time with in high school, when he identified with rock guitarist Richie Blackmore.
