BONUS QUESTION:
Since at least the War of 1812, striped and bearded Uncle Sam has been our country's personification. Over the years, our Uncle has elbowed out a variety of other characters (Columbia, Gem of the Ocean; Brother Jonathan; the Bald Eagle; that weird eye-thing on the dollar bill) for his gig, with only Lady Liberty close to holding her own as our mascot. Is it time to replace our old Uncle — and, if so, which one of the following relatives would you most like to see fill Uncle Sam's boots?
