Damn! Those fools assured me the Russians wouldn't figure out what I did with their water!

But you said the first FORMER president to live into the 1900s. Since he was re-elected, would not Harrison have been the first former president in terms of last serving in such capacity? The paradox continues. Well, in one sense, Harrison was, and in another, Cleveland was. Let's just say they were bo
But since you say the first to survive into the 20th century, I gather that Benny did not long survive his reign. Benjamin Harrison? He lived into the 1900's, I believe. But Cleveland was elected before him, so he was the first. Also, Cleveland survived 7 years longer into the century than Harrison did.
Getting back on track, we reach Grover Cleveland. Cleveland was the only president to serve two nonconsecutive terms. Between 1860 and 1912, he was the only Democrat elected to the presidency. Cleveland vetoed more bills than any other president; in fact, more bills than all 21 presidents before h
As far as how "Christian" it is...hmm, isnt the extreme seperation of church and state something ALL liberals screech for at the top of their lungs? Again, you play it both ways. What a load of crap. Um, just to say, I believe he was saying it is inconsistent with Christian conservative beliefs, not tha
Why? Mulling over the rankings I had given, gave thought to the future presidents, and decided that a slight switch in some of the rankings was in order.
Attention all readers! Effective Immediately: A switch in the rankings. Madison has been bumped to 17, Adams to 18, Lincoln to 3, and Washington has been promoted to 1. Thank you.
I have seen polls and studies where at least 50%, and some think it's much higher, of muslims who support the beliefs of people like osama and other so-called radicals 48% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Bwahahaha, how deliciously evil! I'd hate to see what you do to telemarketers.
I gather, when you say "Never be nominated" you mean for President. Only 4, really? I had never tried to count that Jeopardy question! Yes. I've never seen it as a Jeopardy question, but I'll be there waiting when they do... <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class=
Loyal citizens don't seceed from a country Well then, our founding fathers weren't very loyal, now were they?
Congrats! May you never get carpel tunnel from typing! Wow, a mention in your 100th? I didn't even do anything, as far as I know!
You know, I don't care what anyone says, I didn't think Jar-Jar was all that bad.
After a long delay, here is Chester A. Arthur. Arthur was one of only four presidents to never even be nominated in his own right. As a conservative Stalwart, Arthur had served as a compromise for accepting the reform-minded Garfield as the presidential-nominee. A product of patron
I can't see the picture...
There's a Family Guy reference for every situation "Silence! I concur." There's a Futurama quote for everything too.
--Not officially, though tons of northerners wanted to go south and kick the "pants" off off the southerners.....that they were traitors,etc... and i too am historically nit-picky..... True, popular opinion was for war. My only point is that war did not come until the fall of Fort Sumter. And there is n
Actually the Confederate States simply seceded from the Union. The Union declared war on them in response. Not entirely true. War was not declared when they seceded. The Union adopted a somewhat conciliatory attitude toward the Confederacy until they attacked and captured Fort Sumter. I'm so historicall
Race fixing??!!! Call the Commission! I AM the commission. I am the great and powerful Commissioner! Pay no attention to the man tied up in the bathroom!
Taking all bets! I got 2 to 1 on Doc, 3 to 1 on Mod, and 5 to 1 on Baker! psssst...Doc and Mod. Do me a favor and throw the race. I might be...persuaded to give you a little cut if you help me out, hehehe.
Congratulations on the 50th! Keep em coming. With your content and Fazz's editing, I expect another 50 excellant articles soon! Thanks. I don't know about excellent, but 50 will sure be on their way. And to save you the pain of being attacked by Fazz, it's excellent. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gi
How come when someone who plays the race card like that gets in trouble it's because they're black, but then they can circumvent laws because their black? I'm more than a bit confused.
I look at this the opposite way you do. I think that people matter, but it's the government style that determines (for the most part; there are exceptions) the way the country will go. The actual leader has much influence, but the course the nation takes would be radically different if there was a different government style in pl
Keep at it NJ. You're a damn good writer! Thanks. I don't really think of myself as a good writer, but if you insist.
I believe it does matter. Dictatorial governments are only enablers for totalitarian regimes to flourish. The title is a bit misleading; of course governments matter, I just think people matter more. I even said in my article: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-B
