Congrats! Enjoy having more pay. I know I would. If there's any leftover good vibes left in the box, can you send them back? Some people are complaining about lack of good vibes.

Nope...They gave up too easily Diamondback! 12.5% of me took offense. 12.5% of me is in agreeance with that statement. The same 12.5% is mad the Irish are independent. 50% of me is going "Nyah Nyah" to the 12.5% of me. 24% and 1% of me really could care less about the the rest of them.<

Overall, I dont disagree with your ratings except in nuance. But then I have never sat down and ranked them from 1 to 43. YOu are doing an excellant job of it, so keep it up. Thank you. Truth be told, I'm coming up with these as I go along. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/BigSmile.gif"

Ok, help me in my senility. I seem to recall from High School History that Spain had a claim on Oregon, but I dont recall how that claim came to be. I don't know either. I assume that they had a claim extending from California. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394

As you can see I am back MELLOWER than ever, on the prowl for the elusive “right thinking liberal”. If anyone sees one please send them my way so I can ask, why does the crazies of the far left hate America so much, that they want to destroy her? Do I count? As a former member of the far left, I still r

I just asked someone what the capital of Switzerland was and they said Austria (the capital is Berne). Oh come on, I don't think the Swiss even know the capital of Switzerland, though Austria is a pretty pathetic answer. I don't need help with Israel on the map. But do you mean to say Central A

While running out of different ways to say the series is continuing, we go to James Monroe. Washington was the only president to be elected unanimously, but Monroe came pretty close running for his second term. He got all but 1 electoral vote because an elector cast his vote for John Quincy Adams. He was the last Revolutionary War Officer to become president. Monroe's

I don't think I would have placed him as high as 16, but it is your choice. Keep on writing these articles! I will. And trust me, in a few days you're going to see some real doozies that will make Madison seem like a 16. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%"

As for the ranking, they are yours. I just offered my own opinion, which like the poop shutes, we all have them dont we? We certainly do. But I was just looking at the other presidents, and I think there are others more deservi

While it was before his tenure as president, the most important (I wont say best) contribution of Madison was Marbury Vs Madison. That basically delineated the powers between the 3 branches of government. Definetly one of the most important achievements in his life, but we're strictly looking at their

In my high school days (the late 70's) the wedgie was a popular activity. It was often committed while yelling out the word 'Wedgie' numerous times, just in case the 'Wedgiee' didn't know what was happening. Ah yes, those were the days... Being a child of the '90s somehow seems better now. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Wink.gif"

NJ, is this going to be a 43 part series? No, I mentioned in my Washington article that I intend to only go up to Hoover. If there's enough clamor for more, I might extend to a couple more presidents, but it's unlikely I'll go past Eisenhower.

Friends and relatives who have enough tact to tell their ‘aspiring musical artist’ that they should give up and take up tennis seem to be in short supply.

James Madison is up next in my continuing series. Madison was the first president to not be nominated unanimously by his party's caucus. He was also the least physically impressive president of all time. He stood at only 5 ft. 4 in., and weighed a scant 100 pounds. He was the first president to declare a war. He served March 4, 1809 to March 3, 1817. Shortl

I guess as president I can see him being maybe a 5. But for life achievement, he is clearly number 1. Since Washington was 3 and Jefferson was 5, I will be very interested to see who are 1,2 and 4. Yes, the ranking is only where his presidency is concerned. For his entire life, definetly higher. But r

Jefferson did indeed leave a lasting legacy in the United States. His story is pretty well known, but good job in summing it up for us. Thank you. His exploits as president are probably some of the best known of any president, which somewhat detracts from this article's purpose, but we can all stand t

Marching forward with the series, we move on to president number 3, Thomas Jefferson. He was the first president elected under the Democrat-Republican party. He was also the very first Secretary of State, but resigned after numerous clashes with future Federalist Alexander Hamilton. Ironically, it was Hamilton who rallied Federalists to Jefferson in the House when Bur
