She'd wear a hat, I bet

My approximate feelings about the potential addition of an unspecified woman's image to the $10 bill are summed up by Ester Bloom and Nicole Dieker at The Billfold. Approximate because aside from my dislike of how this has been handled so far, Hamilton is possibly my favorite founding father, and deserving of his own bill, much like Franklin. Those two guys basically invented our paper money system. Even though I love George Washington (and who wouldn't) he is arguably less deserving of being on the money than Hamilton. (He did appoint Hamilton, so credit to Washington.)

All of which is aside from the point, which is that Andrew Jackson will still be on the money. I dislike Andrew Jackson so much that I promised when I was 16 that I would someday open a bar where I might throw out anybody I suspected liked Andrew Jackson. The only part of this plan that has changed is it may be a cinema.

There is no woman I love more than I hate Andrew Jackson. Except my mom. If they want to put my mom on the $10, I think that's a good idea and I'm for it. How cool would that be? Pretty cool.
