When I was a kid, I thought "Dewey Defeats Truman" referred to Dwight Eisenhower beating Harry Truman for the presidency. After all, as a Red Sox fan, I was well aware that right fielder Dwight Evans' nickname was "Dewey," so why not Ike? Little did I know that Eisenhower's nickname wasn't "Dewey" and Truman wasn't running in that election.
I also thought that Tip O'Neill was the coach in Bad News Bears, and that "Tip" was short for "Tatum," since Tip looked a bit like Walter Matthau, and Tatum O'Neal was in Bad News Bears.
(Apologies to you younger folks who have to Google all of that to know what I am talking about.)

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
