I finally managed to edit a painting of Millard Fillmore, from the White House site, to fit the header. Fillmore is generally considered to be one of the worst presidents ever, but the capital of Utah was once named for him when the Mormons were trying to win his favor to gain statehood (Fillmore, in Millard County — the capital was moved later). It didn’t work, and Utah didn’t achieve statehood for another four decades.
I am still looking for a picture of his actual bathtub.

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

In some quarters that would be considered mean, J.C. But go see this, in the May Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/profile/story/9961300/the_worst_president_in_history

And I so wish he´d been our president for the last 6 years or so.

That is a great use of the painting – the way you modified it is an excellent header image. Three cheers!
