Van Buren

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The rudely thrown bust of Martin Van Buren

Martin Van Buren was the eighth President of the United States, serving from 1837 to 1841. Notably, he was the first president to have been born after the American Revolution.

A marble bust of Van Buren occasionally appears in Homestar Runner, presumably owned by The Cheat. Its use is typically apolitical — used as a bludgeoning object, to add decorative flair, or simply as an interesting shape.
